Subject: URGENT
From: Mr. Robert Sleeper Jnr,
Bank of International Settlement (BIS),
Switzerland.
Hi,
My name is Robert Sleeper Jnr, head of operations Bank of International
Settlement Switzerland. Sometime in the year 2000, a certain man Mr Greg
Smith brought a luggage marked "Family Treasure" to me for safekeeping i my
Bank. I met this man in the year 1996 in United States of America (U.S.A.)
when I went for a seminar and he introduced himself as a ship captain.
We became intimate more than he realized my profession as a Banker, there
and then, he informed me about his intention to bring this luggage to my
Bank for custody. However, I did not take this serious not until he brought
the boxes to my office, right inside my offic, he secretly revealed to me
that the contents of the two boxes were clean bills of United States Dollars
in 100 bills denomination totaling US$15.6m.
On discovering this, I invited my colleague in the Bank who is also my best
confidant and the head of the legal department of my Bank who advised that
the boxes be moved to a different security company in Holland and a
Certificate of Deposit was issued to him accordingly.
However, he saw me as a trustworthy person and decided to hand over the
Cerificate of
Deposit to me for safekeeping in my Bank and then left back to his country.
Though he is always on the sea being a sailor, all our correspondence was
through telephone. I discussed with him last, early in the year 2001 and
throughout the year 2002, I did not hear from him till last year when I
called his telephone number and behold someone else had bought over the
telephone, the new subscriber told me that Mr. Greg Smith died alongside his
wife and only two children t the world trade center during the Bin-Laden
bomb blast in America.
This news shocked me so much because of the fact that Mr. Greg did not leave
any of his contact address or Next-of-Kin and since then all plan to trace
any of his relatives proved abortive. honestly, I became confused and sort
the opinion of my colleague on what we should do. He suggested that we
should look for an assistance from would-be trustworthy oversea partner who
will assist us claim these boxes from the Security Company in Holland for
our mutual benefit and future investment. hence our reason to contact you
for an assistance. My colleague and I have agreed to give you 30% of the
total sum 5% will be for any expenses that we might have incur during the
cause of claiming the boxes and 65% for both of us.
Best regards,
Robert Sleeper Jnr
Head Of Operations,Bank of International Settlement Switzerland.
