Subject: PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THIS MESSAGE.
Dear friend,
With due respect and humility, I write to you this proposal.I am the
manager
of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of Banque
Internationale
du Abidjan.
I am writing following the impressive information about you, l got your
contact from lvoirian chamber of commerce and lndustry.
l am assured of your capability and reliability to champion this businees
opportunity.In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of U.S$11.5M
US dollars
In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died in the
WORLD TRADE CENTRE along with his entire family on 11 September 2001 in
NewYork.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next
of kin to come forward and claim his money because we cannot release it
unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased
as indicated in our banking guidelines and policies but unfortunately we
learnt that all
his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at Urgly
attack
at the World Trade Centre leaving nobody behind for the claims.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I have decided to make this
businness
proposal to you to transact this deal with you and to act as the next of
kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement
since
nobody is coming forth and l don't want this money to go into the Bank
treasury
as unclaimed Bill.
According to our Banking policies and guideline here which stipulates that
if such money remained unclaimed after five years,the money will
automatically
be transfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund.
My request for a foreigner to act as next of kin in this business is by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a citizen of this country
cannot stand or put claims as next of kin to a foreigner.
l agreed to offer 15% of the total fund to you, for your assistance, to
act as the next of Kin to the foreigner,to provide account, 5% will be for
reimbursement of any expenses incured during the curse of the transaction.
There after, I and my family will visit your country for disbursement and
for investment in your country. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer
of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as
relation
or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank
account
number, your private telephone and fax number for easier and effective
communication
and location where the money will be transfer.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text
of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction
is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all
required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter. hope
to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Richard Malumo Siyanga.
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
BIAOBANK ABIDJAN, COTE D,IVOIRE
