Hello Dear,
I am Mr. Owusu Osei , head of auditing and accounting
department of Pan-African development finance institution
established in 1964 to foster economic growth and social
progress in Africa.
It is my humble wish to bring to your notice a transaction
which I consider most strictly confidential and I will
like to let you know that I have made series of enquiry on
this issue.
To start with, may I solicit your trust worthiness and
confidence on this issue, for the nature of it and my
position in the Pan-African development finance
institution established in 1964 to foster economic growth
and social progress in Africa, it is unlawful to expose
any account owner customer banking information to a third
party, but for business sake, let it be a secret between
both of us.
I was made the head of auditing and accounting in the year
1995,in that same year, I carried out a general auditing,
then I discovered that there is an account opened in this
bank in 1991.After going through some old files in the
records, I went further to investigate this account, it
was then that I realise that the owner of this account
Mr.Pierre Oliver a Belgium national, who died some years
ago, unknown to the relatives that such account is
existing.
My investigation proved to me that no other person knows
about this account or any thing concerning it, as well as
the account has no trace of other beneficiary.
In 1995, this account contained the sum of $6.3million,
but in 1998,I noticed that about $22.6million was
transferred to this account from Switzerland and another
$3million from South Africa was also transferred to it,
but up till this day, no withdrawal was made.
In the recent meeting held by the Board of Directors in
our bank, it was deliberated on the issue of unclaimed
funds lying in our bank, but decided to adjourn the motion
as contained in the article 13 (b) sub-section (iv)of the
minutes of the BOD's meeting.
I need your full co-operation to make this subject
successful because the management is ready to approve this
payment to any foreigner who has correct information of
this account, which I will give to you immediately if you
are capable and willing to handle such transaction with
confidence and trust according to my instructions and
advise for our mutual benefit because this is a life time
opportunity I do not want to miss.
I have to assure you that with my position now in the
office I can transfer this money to any reliable foreign
account which you can provide with full assurance that
this money will be safe and well guided. I will destroy
all document of transaction in my office immediately we
receive this moneyleaving no trace to any place.
I will use my position and influence to effect legal
approvals and onward transfer of this money to your
account with appropriate clearance forms of the ministries
and foreign exchange departments.If possible You can come
to Cotonou Rep. of Benin to discuss with me face to face
after which I willmake the remittance in your presence and
two of us will fly to your country for withdrawal and
sharing.
Please reply urgently, also send your private telephone
and fax numbers,Bank Account details (Name of Bank,
Address, A/C Name etc).I would like us to meet face to
face or to sign a binding agreement to ensure that we can
receive this money with trust to each other.
I will look forward to your earliest call through my
Private telephone.
Yours Truly, Mr. Owusu Osei telephone:00229-06-2633
