Subject: LETS DO THIS DEAL WITH TRUST.
Auditing and Accounting Unit
Foreign Operations Department
of a bank here in Abidjan
Cote D'ivore West Africa.
DEAREST ONE,
I am Mr.John ,one of the Directors in charge of Auditing
and Accounting section of a bank here in Abidjan West
Africa and also Chairman ofInvestigating
and Auditing Department of this Bank.
With due respect and regard, I have decided to contact you
on a Business Transaction that will be very beneficial to
both of us and our families
in future.
During our Investigation and Auditing in this Bank, my
department came across a very huge sum of money belonging
to one Deceased Mr.Morris Thompson 61
years,of Fairbanks, Alaska America who died on January 31st
2000 with Alaska Airlines Flight 261.You can as well
confirm it by yourself through under stated Website of the
incident.
<http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/> and
if you want to
know more about the man himself, you can check
<http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html>
As the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank
without any claim of the fund in our custody either from
his family or relation because he did not indicate any next
of kin to this account incase of death such as these.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within
myself and partners to enable the whole plans and idea be
profitable and successful during the time of execution.The
said amount is U.S $25.5m (Twenty Five Million, five
hundred thousand United States Dollars).As it may interest
you to know,I got your impressive information through one
of my good friends who works with Chamber of Commerce on
foreign business relations here in Abidjan though
I did not disclose the deal to him.
Meanwhile as a Senior Staff in this bank, and the Director
of Auditing and Accounting, I have in my possession all the
necessary documents to perfect this deal by making you the
bonafide next of kin/Partner whom this money will be
transferred into your account.
I need your assistance and co-operation to get this deal
done. Because as a foreigner, you stand a better position
to be presented through documentation as the next of
kin/Partner since the deceased is also a foreigner,this is
the reason why I could not do this deal alone as an Ivorian
and a Blackman as well.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100%
risk free. On smooth Conclusion of this transaction, you
will be entitled to 35% of the total sum as
gratification,while 1% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and
also telephone bills, while 64% will be for me and my
partners.
Please, you have been advised to keep this "Top Secret" as
we are still in service and intend to retire from service
after we conclude this deal with you. And I assure you that
this transaction will not last more than 10 working days
and you confirm the money in your account.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank
until you confirm the money in your account. And ask us to
come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the
fund according to percentages previously indicated and
further investment,either in your country or any country
you advice us to invest in.
All other necessary vital information will be sent to you
when I hear from you. I suggest you get back to me as soon
as possible stating your
wish in this deal. I am expecting your urgent reply as soon
as you receive
this message.
( God bless you And your family )
Best Regards,
Mr.John
