AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
BANK OF IRELAND
NO:6 O'CONNEL STREET
DUBLIN 1 REPUBLIC OF IRELAND
HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
Dear Sir/Madam,
With great pleasure I am writing this proposal on behalf of my
partners.I got your information through my personal search on the
internet. Hence I have decided to seek your cooperation,due to the
sensitivity of this transaction and my commitment as a civil servant.
I am MR JOHN AKU the manager Bills and Exchange under foreign
remittance department of Bank Of Ireland Dublin Republic Of Ireland
There is an account opened in this Bank in 1990 and since 2000 nobody
has operated on this account again.
After going through some old files in the records, I Discovered that
if I do not remit this money out urgently it would be forfeited for
nothing. The owner of this account is DR. Abu Hebru ( NasimSaleh), a
foreigner, Geologist by profession and he died since 1999. In an air
crash along with his wife Mrs. Zainab Hebru on 31st October 1999 in
an Egyptian airline 990 with other passengers on board. You can
confirm this from the website below

http://www.s-t.com/daily/11-99/11-02-99/d08ho174.htm
No other person know about this account or anything concerning it,
the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved To
me as well that his company does not know anything about his account
and the amount involved is (US$ 12.7)TwelveMillion seven Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars. I am only contacting you as a
foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local Bank here,
but can only be approved to any foreign account because the money is
in US Dollars and the former owner of the account is DR. Abu Hebru is
a foreigner too.
Our constraint is to be able to source an honest and trustworthy
individual,to whom we can remit these funds and act as trustee
pending our visit, since our period of disengagement from the civil
service is near.We are presently affected by the Republic Of Ireland
civil service code of conduct laws that prohibits civil servants from
operating private foreign accounts. I have the authority of my
partners in office to propose that should you be willing to assist us
in this transaction, your share as compensation will be (20% )while
my colleagues and I receives (70%)and the balance of (10%) for taxes
and other miscellaneous expenses. This transaction is 100% risk free
provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality.
Furthermore, your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the
successful execution of this transaction.
Thank you and God Bless,
My sincere Regards
MR JOHN AKU
