Attn:
I am ROWLAND KONE, credit officer of STANDARD GUARANTEE BANK-CI(Abidjan)
I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.In June,
1999, a German property consultant and importer of used cars, Mr Andreas
Schranner made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months,
valued at US$11,000,000.(Eleven Million United States Dollars only) in my
branch. It was to our utter surprise that we heard of his death,wife and
children in an AF4590 plane crash in July 2000. See website below: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
On further investigation,I found out that he died without making a "WILL",
and hitherto, all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. Mr Andreas
Schranner was residing at No 1 Rue de Avenida, G.R.A.Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire
the former Ivoiry Coast in West Africa.I therefore made further investigation
and discovered that Mr Andreas Schranner did not declare any kin or relations
in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my
Bank. This sum of US$11,000,000.00 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 Cote D'Ivoire,
at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will be declared frozen and
forfeited to the Cote D'Ivoire 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 or business partner to Mr Andreas Schranner so that
the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into the hands of som corrupt
government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately
your full names and address,phone and fax numbers so that Ican prepare
the necessary documents that will put you in place as the next of kin or
business partner.Your role in the transaction is to send an application
for claim of the funds to our bank. Then, as top officials of the bank,
I shall work behind-the-scene to make sure that your application is approved
by the management of the bank, and the funds transfered to your nominated
bank account.
Please note that there is no iota of risks at all as all the paper work
for this transaction will be done legitimately and with my positions as
top officials of the bank I would ensure a successful execution of transaction.
If you are interested, please reply immediately to my email box. Please
send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.
You should observe utmost CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECRECY in this transaction,
and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both
of us because I will require your assistance to invest my share in your
country.
I look forward to your prompt response.
Please you should contact us through my alternative
(Email:rowl_k@yahoo.com)
Thanks and regards.
ROWLAND KONE.
