Subject: WITH MUCH SINCERITY OF PURPOSE.
From: Mr Debby B.Kamar
Head of Operations
Dear Good Friend,
With much sincerity of purpose I make this contact with you in this divine
year
of 2006 as I strongly believed in spiritual expect life that control the
physical and the divine nature that governs the universe.
My name is Debby B.Kamar an accountant in a reputable bank in Benin Republic
West Coast Africa.
I am contacting you with the hope of having a private and confidential
business
with you. I am writing you asking for your assistance in the transfer of
USD.10.8M (Ten Million, Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars).
Before I go ahead with my request I will like to inform you that I loved if
we
could meet to discuss this transaction in person due to its magnitude, I am
taking this urgent move in order to make an acquaintance with you prior to
the
time I will be due for an official assignment in Europe But first I will
like
to put in the light of this transaction.
Close to the end of 2001 my bank decided to take a major step by changing
the
policy of all its branches due to the merger with another bank. Hence due to
the change in policies and top management it became necessary for some
majors
customers to determine their positions with the bank.
Due to the large amount involved, some of the foreign customer who believed
that that new policy would not benefit them found it hard to transfer their
funds as result of procedures involved and limited time.
A foreign customer approached me in confidence and asked for my assistance
in
the transfer of his funds, which I agreed to. I offered my assistance in the
little way I could and I gave him some recommendation. Apparently the fund
was
moved from my bank shortly after this time.
To my surprise I did not hear from him afterwards, which really was not what
I
expected, to more of my surprise I was contacted by the financial
institution I
recommended him to late last year that he has not come to finalize its
transaction.
After proper investigation I discovered that he was involved in an auto
accident that took is life. And the deceased customer did not have on
records
with the bank any close relation. Prior to this discovery, I was compelled
to
assume responsibility for monitoring this fund, which is quite difficult for
me
due to my position in my bank. My proposal to you is for us to conclude this
transaction together, as I cannot claim this fund by myself.
I am ready to share it at ratio 60:40, 60% for me and 40% for you. I will
like
to assure that this transaction is risk free, but privacy is required and
cannot be compromised. Please send to me your private phone number and fax,
so
I can give you more details
I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint
me.
Endeavor to contact me immediately through my direct telephone number 00
229
97 985 239.
Regards,
Mr.Debby B.Kamar.
