Office of Auditor General, CITIBANK,
364 SAN DAKAR High St SENEGAL DAKAR W14 8NS
Dear,
I am Dr. Mike Okiki the Auditor General of CITIBANK 364 san dakar
High St senegal dakar W14 8NS. I have urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you. On May 20, 1999, an Iraqi Foreign Oil consultant/contractor
with the BRITISH PETROLUEM CORPORATION MR. DARA BARAZ.
Made a numbered time (Fixed deposit) for 24 calendar months,
valued at US$20,200,000.00 (Twenty Million two hundred thousand dollars only)
in this bank. Upon maturity in 2001, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding
address but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employers, the British petroleum corporation that Mr. John micheal died as
a result of torture in the hand of Sadam Hussein during one of his trips to his
country Iraq. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL,
and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation
and discovered that mr John Micheal did not declare any kin or relations in all his
official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$20,200,000.00 have been floating as unclaimed
since 1999 in my bank as all efforts to get his relatives have hit the stones.
According to the senegalice law at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money
will revert to the ownership of the senegalice Government if nobody applies
to claim the fund and the six years is the end of November 2005. Consequently,
my proposal is that i want to seek your consent as a foreigner to stand in as the owner
of the money as the next of kin to the deceased so that the bank will transfer the money
to your desi gnated account. All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be
carefully worked out. I have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any
of the deceased beneficiaries, and more so I are assuring you that the business is risk free
involvement.
Your share stays while the rest be for me and for investment purpose as i will leave senegal
by the end of the year. The sharing of the funds will be based According to agreement
within me and you. As soon as i receive an acknowledgement of receipt of this message
in acceptance of our mutual business proposal, I will furnish you with the necessary
modalities and disbursement ratio to suit both parties without any conflict. If this proposal is
acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust i have bestowed in you.
PLEASE, APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT DOING BUSINESS OVER THE INTERNET IS
RISK.ENDEAVOR TO SEND YOUR CONFIDENTIAL TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER IN
YOUR REPLY TO THIS BUSINESS. AND THIS IS MY PRIVENT EMAIL ADDRESS
(mikeokiki2005@box.az )
Regards.
DR. MIKE OKIKI
