Hello Friend,
I am the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of
INTERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA COTONOU-REPUBLIC OF BENIN Of AFRICA IN WEST
AFRICA with due respect and regard.I have decided to contact you on a
business transaction that will be beneficial to both of us at the end of the
transaction .
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died in a
plane crash and 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 before our discovery to this development. 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 was US18.5M usd (Eighteen million Five hundred thousand
united states dollars).
As it may interest you to know, I got your contact informations through the
internet website and after i prayed for ALLAHS devine mercies,i decided to
contact you over this enterpresing transcation that both of us must benefits
from this business of such magnitude without any problem.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the
bonafide next of kin to the deceased,get the required approval and transfer
this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and
needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your
interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this
great business opportunity.In fact I could have done this deal alone but
because of my position in this country as a civil servant, we are not
allowed to operate a foreign accountand would eventually raise an eye brow
on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who
will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to
the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to
be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification
and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole
money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.May I at
this point emphasize that this transaction is 100% risk free as I have made
arrangements for a successful deal before contacting you.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 40% of the
total sum as gratification,while 10% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone
bills, while 50% will be for me and my partners.please, you have been
adviced to keep TOP SECRET as we are still in service and intend to retire
from service after we conclude this deal with you.
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 information will be sent to you when I
hear from you.
I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible via telephone and also
through this email,stating your wish in this deal. contact me in this email
address:(ge_ahmed2004@yahoo.fr)
Yours faithfully.
MR,GEORGE AHMED.
