Subject: BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP.
I am Mr. Abdul Al Aziz , Bank Manager Pacific Trust Bank, Fan Road
Branch,Dakar Senegal. I have urgent and very confidential business proposal
for you. Mr Guy Gelinas a Canadian businessman and longtime business
associate of erstwhile Hong Kong business tycoon James Ting , made a Fixed Deposit for eigtheen calendar month, valued at US$38,500,000.00 (Thirty Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) in my branch. Upon
maturity, I sent routine notification to his forwarding address but get no
reply. After a month, we send a reminder and finally we discover from
his contract employer, (Abitibi - Consolidated Paper) that Mr.Guy
Gelinas died in plane crash along with many others in EgyptAir Flight
990,1999 air crash (for more information about said funds and this crash
you can go to the links:
Since i got this information about his death and on further
investigation, I find out that he died without making a WILL, and all
attempt to traced his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore make
further investigation and discovered that Mr.Guy Gelinas did not declare
any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank
Deposit paperwork in my Bank, and Mr. James Ting is no longer factor
in this transaction. This sum of US$38,500,000.00 is still sitting in
my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at
the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it.
According to Laws of Senegalise at the expiration of 7 (seven)years, the
money will revert to the ownership of the Senegalise Government if nobody
applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand in as the next of kin to Mr.Guy Gelinas so that the fruits of this
man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government
officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your
full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary
documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and
notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favour for the transfer. A bank account in
any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the
transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money
will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 65% for
me and 35% for you after the expense . There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email
address above. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more
details and relevant documents that will help you understand the
transaction. Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest
assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us
because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your
country.
Awaiting your urgent reply to my e-mail address: abdul_alaziz2000@yahoo.ca
Abdul Al Aziz..
