Dear Beloved,
As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information
through
the business directory at chamber of commerce and Industry here in Ivory
Coast ,
where I was seaching for a good reliable contact which I will entrust
this
business oppurtunity into his control. I was elated when I saw your
address
and I picked a keen interest with confidence to solicit for your help
in
executing this oppurtunity.
However, I was moved to contact you base on the present situation of
this
oppurtunity which I may say that it is God given time offer.There was
this
foreigner who lived here in Ivory Coast , long ago called Mr Uwe
Hoffmann,(
a German) and it happen that the man registered to me as his private
personal
attorney.Unfortunately the man died in an auto crash
here in Ivory Coast on 30th Apri l, 2000.
Owing to the death of this man, his bank called on me for his balance
with
the bank as his attorney since January 2001, to invite his relatives to
come
and claim the money. I tried all I could to trace his family but all my
efforts
proved abortive, then from January last year 2004 till now the bank has
been
presurising me to look for his family because they realise that a lot
of
swindlers have been forwarding application to claim the money as his
next
of kin but
it happen that after much verification they will find out that those
people
were rogues because they cannot provide a enough evidence to prove that
they
were his relative.
However, I have decided to use you as his next of kin to claim the
money
for our own personal use as it happen that his relatives were not
available
up till now and I have all his documented memo in my file which will
back
you up before the bank as his next of kin. I will still obtain a
genuine
legal backing with your name which will place you in the position of
the
bonafide "Next of kin" to the deceased.
Furthermore, the amount involved is ($21.000,000.00) Twenty One Million
United
State Dollars. If my proposal interest you, then you will have to
furnish
me with your full name and address which I will use to secure the legal
documents.
And as soon as I received your address, I will form an application
which
will be submitted to the deceased bank as his next of kin.
After due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of
the
bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designated
bank
account. Be rest assured that there is no risk involved as I have
perfected
and made the neccessary arrangements to back you up in claiming the
fund.
Finally, you have to maintain the high secrecy this business demands as
the
bank does not know that I am using you to claim the money. I will
compensate
you with 25% of the total money for your help and assistance. I will
invest
my own part of the money in your country base on your advice. And 10%
is
mapped out for expences and tax that might be paid to your country on
remittance
of the fund to your account.
You can now forward your address and your full name and I will furnish
you
with more details as soon asyou reply this mail.
Thanks as I await your reply.
Best Regards,
Barr. Toweh
