Subject: CAN WE?
Sir,
This proposal is to you if you can assist me in all sincerity. Time is
against me.
I work in a bank in Cote d’ivoire. I will give you the name of my bank and
other important information if I receive a positive reply from you. For
security reasons I cannot disclose my full identity to you now until I am
sure of your cooperation.
I work in the operations department where I serve as an account officer to
numerous customers. One of the customers whom I worked as his account
officer has this secret about the source of his funds and confides in me to
help him when he was opening this account.
His name is Vincent Arap Moi of Kenya the son of Former President of Kenya
Daniel arap Moi .
Visit the website below for some idea of what I am saying.

Mr Moi used one Mr Mohammed Kamara who is now late to lodge some
money in my bank. Mr Kamara is the only person that has signatory to this
account. This secret was known to me because of how close I am with Mr Moi.
For the fact that Mr Kamara is late and that Mr Moi cannot claim this money,
I now want you to come as the next of kin to Mr kamara. Mr Moi is now under
detention based on the charges being levelled against him and the father
for some money laundering by the present Kenyan President(Mwai Kibaki) and
there is no way he can come for this money since he has denied having any
foreign account before the TRANSPARENCY
INTERNATIONAL (TI).
I had already notified the bank authorities formally that Mr Kamara is dead
and that his next of kin would be coming to claim his money. All you would
have to do is to act as the next of kin to the dead man and the whole money
in the account will be transferred to your account.
As the accounts officer to the late Mr Kamara, I
have all the
necessary documents that you will require to claim the money in the account.
The total money in the account is USD4.5 million. Your share will be 30% .
My own share will be 69%, which you will help me to invest in your country.
We shall keep 1% for expenses.
The business is risk free and requires urgent action.
Reach me immediately by mail so that I can give you further details. Also
provide me with your direct tel/fax numbers to reach you and let me know if
you have a good offshore account that can carry this sum of money.
Yours truly
Dr.Ahmed Jaques.
