Dear,
I am Mr. Doris Smith . Iam bank manager working at discovery department BIAO Bank Abidjan Branch Cote d'ivoire and I am contacting you on business transfer of a huge sum of money from a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. I decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction. PROPOSITION: I am a close friend to Egn. Davis Luis (deceased) one of our foreign client. Unfortunately, he died along with his entire family in the plane crash of 31 October, 1999 on board the Egyptian Airline 990 alongside other passengers.

Since his death, none of his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay claims to this money as the heir. The fund cannot be release from his bank account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Having made a very frantic and exhaustive search for any of his family members for the claim of the fund proved abortive, I decided to take my chance with you.I now seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin to the deceased as an insider i will make sure i direct you until this deal is over,Just stand as the righful owner and next of kins to him as he had a closing balanced of 17,500,000.00 USD(United states dollars) here in Abidjan with our! bank. And 15%of the fund will be yours for all your effort.I also have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any member of deceased family to become beneficiary of this fund. Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our m!
utual
business endeavour by furnishing me with the following: 1. Beneficiary name and address 2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers These requirements will enable me make some internal re-adjustments and file your name in all the forms and other vital documents as next of kin for easy transfer of the fund without hesistating from the , I will advice the way forward. I must assure you that if you are serious and follow my instructions carefully, then this fund will be released to you within a seven-working-day period. If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you, I await your urgent mail.
