I am contacting you in the belief that you are a honest and trustworthy person.
I hope you will not betray the confidence I have in you to have contacted you
even though we've not met before.Besides,I only got your address from an
internet listing.
My name is Dr.Moses Ezeh, Head of Banking Operations, Eastern Banking Unit of
one of the biggest banks in Africa. I will not mention the name of the bank I
work for security reasons but promise to disclose it to you as soon as I am
convinced that you are capable and willing to assist me with this transaction.
I hope this does not turn you off anyway; I am only being cautious.
I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank with account number 14-
255-2004/utb/t who perished in a plane crash [Korean Air Flight 801] with the
whole passengers and his name was Burke Sean. Since the demise of this our
customer, I personally has watched with keen interest to see the next of kin
but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his funds of usd.60m,
[Sixty million united states dollars] which has been with my branch for a very
long time. On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as
the next of kin as no one has come up to be the next of kin. And the banking
ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than twelve years, because
the money will be recalled to the bank treasury as unclaimed after this period.
At the conclusion of this business, I shall travel to your country for sharing.
I have mapped out 30% of the total amount for you for assisting me,5% to take
care of all expenses from both party and the remaining for me.
All I want you to do is to collaborate with me by standing in as the next of
kin because Management is ready to approve the remittance of the money to any
foreigner who has correct information of this account. Beside I would use my
position to facilitate prompt remittance of the fund. Send to me immediately
your business profile as well as your bank account information of any bank of
your choice where you want the money to be transfered.You may open a new
account if you so wish. I also need strong assurances from you to the effect
that you can guarantee the safety of the money when it gets to your account. If
for any reason you think you're incapable of this transaction, you may
recommend anybody whose integrity is not in doubt. I shall however provide you
with directives on what to do as we proceed.
As soon as I hear from you I will send to you by fax or e-mail the application
form that you will fell and send to my bank email address, requesting for the
money , and then tell you the next step to take. I will not fail to bring to
your notice that this business is hitch free and that you should not entertain
any fear as all modalities, for fund transfer can be finalized within seven
banking days, after you apply to the bank as a relation to the deceased. When
you receive this letter. Kindly send me an e-mail signifying your decision
including your private Tel/Fax numbers for quick communication.
For confirmation you can go to www.cnn.com/WORLD/9708/06/guam.passenger.list
Respectfully submitted,
Dr.Moses Ezeh
