ATTN
I humbly crave your indulgence in sending you this
mail, if the contents does not meet with your personal
and business ethics, I appologise in advance.
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign
remittancedepartment of Banque internationale de
lafrique delouest Abidjan (BIAO) I am writing
following the impressive information about you through
my reseach from your country directory. its assured me
of your capability and reliability to champion this
businees opportunity.
In my departmentn I discovered an abandoned sum of
$18.5m US dollars eighteen million, five hundred
thousand U.S dollars .In an account that belongs to
one of our foreign customer who died along with his
entire family in a concord plane crash in the year
2000 in paris that almost took the whole life of the
pasengeres on board Since we got information about his
death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come
overand claim his money because we cannot release
unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or
relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking
guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his
supposed next of kin or beneficiary died alongside
with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for
the claim.
Therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to
make this businness proposal to you and release the
money to you as the beneficiary or next of kin to the
deceased for
safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is
coming for it and I don?t want this money to go into
the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if
such money remained unclamed after Six years the money
will be transfered into the Banktreasury account as
unclaimedfund, The request of foreigner as the
beneficiary or next of kin in this business is
occasioned by the fact that the customer was a
foreigner and an Ivoirean cannot stand as next of kin
to a foreigner.
I agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as
foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a
foreign account, 10 %will be set aside for expenses
incured during the business and 60 % would be for me
There after I will visit your country for disbursement
accoding to the percentages indicated, remember the
transfer of this money does not
matter your nationality you will apply as the
beneficiary or nesx of kin.
Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer of this
fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the
bank the beneficiary as or next of kin of the deceased
indicating
your bank name, your bank account number your private
telephone and fax number for easy and effective
communication and location where in the money will be
remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply I will send to you by email
the text of the application I will not fail to bring
to your notice that thistransaction is hitch free and
that you
should not entertain any atom of fear as all required
arrangements have been made for the transfer.
I assure you once more again that no risk involved in
the transfer of this money into your account i am
arranging everything in your favour.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you
receive
this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Your's
faithfully,
DR OKWU EGO
(bill and exchange manager )
