Compliments,
I am Bruno Amadi of credit and foreign bills of Ecobank Plc.
I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank with account number 14-255-2004/utb/t who perished in a plane crash (Korean Air Flight 801) with the whole passengers aboard on august 6, 1997.
Since the death of this our customer, I personally has watched with keen interest to see the next of kin but none has come forth to put a claim to the FOURTEEN MILLION, SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND USD ($14.6m) which has been with my branch since the money was banked with us.
I decided to contact you to put claim of the fund as the next of kin since no one has shown up. The money will be recalled and handed over to the government as required by our banking ethics which does not allow such money to stay more than nine years after the death of the depositor.
I will give you 35% of the total sum.
Note that this transaction is hitch free so do not entertain any form of fear as all modalities for the transfer of the fund can be finalized within 10 banking days, after you apply to the bank as the next of kin to the deceased.
Upon the receipt of your response, I will send you the procedures and way forward to the immidiate claim.
Thanks and regards,
- Bruno Amadi
