Attention: Sir,
I am ALPHONSE CORREIA, Bank Manager in one of the leading banks of Africa here in Dakar Senegal. I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. A contract employers- Teaser Petroleum Corporation made a numbered time Deposit,US$20,000,000.00 (Twenty Million Dollars) . Upon maturity,
I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month,
we sent a reminder and finally discovered from his contract employers,
That MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich Germany died in a Car crash along with his entire family in July 2004 IN Dakar-Senegal.
Since we got this information about his death and on further investigation, we found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigated and discovered that Mr. Andreas Schranner did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
The sum of US$20,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank (Bank of Africa) and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of Senegal, at the expiration of 5 (five) years,
the money will revert to the ownership of the Senegalese Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently,
my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Andreas Schranner so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple,
I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so as his next of kin entitled to inherit his deposited fund.
We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of administration in your favour for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 50% for me and 30% for you. The remaining 20% will be for any expenses we might incurred during the course of the transaction.
There is no risk as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address above. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details.
Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply via my confidential email
address. E-mail alphonse_correia1@yahoo.ca <mailto:philip_amda1@yahoo.ca>
Regards,
ALPHONSE CORREIA.
