Subject: GREETINGS FROM ADAMS OLIVIER.
MY DEAR,
I AM MR ADAMS OLIVIER OMAR, THE DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION IN MY BANK
WITH DUE RESPECT AND REGARDS, I HAVE DECIDED TO
CONTACT YOU ON A BUSINESS TRANSACTION THAT WILL
BE VERY BENEFICIAL TO BOTH OF US, AT THE END OF THE
TRANSACTION.
DURING OUR INVESTIGATION AND AUDITING IN THIS BANK, MY
DEPARTMENT CAME ACROSS A HUGE SUM OF MONEY BELONGING
TO A DECEASED PERSON WHO DIED IN JANUARY 2000 IN KENYA
AIRLINE IN ABIDJAN. THE ACCOUNT 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.
THE BANKING ACT AND REGULATION MADE PROVISION FOR THE
NEXT KIN OF THE DECEASE TO CLAIM HIS / HER FUND IN
ACCIDENTAL DEATH LIKE PLANE CRASH WHICH HE DID NOT
FILL IN HIS NEXT OF KIN.
ALTHOUGH PERSONALLY, I KEPT THIS INFORMATION SECRET
WITHIN MYSELF AND PARTNER TO ENABLE THE WHOLE PLANS
AND IDEA BE PROFITABLE AND SUCCESSFUL DURING THE TIME
OF EXECUTION. THE SAID AMOUNT IS US$9.5 MILLION (NINE
MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS ONLY).
MEANWHILE, ALL THE WHOLE ARRANGEMENT TO PUT CLAIM OVER
THIS FUND AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED, GET THE
REQUIRED APPROVAL AND TRANSFER THIS MONEY TO A FOREIGN
ACCOUNT HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE. ALL DIRECTIVES AND
NEEDED INFORMATION WILL BE RELAYED TO YOU ON TRUST AS
SOON AS YOU INDICATE YOUR INTEREST AND WILLINGNESS TO
ASSIST US AND ALSO BENEFIT IN 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 ACCOUNT AND WOULD
EVENTUALLY RAISE AN EYEBROW ON MY SIDE, HENCE DURING
THE QUARTERLY MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTOR MY
COLLEAGUES ASKED ME TO LOOK OUT FOR A FOREIGN PARTNER
TO CARRY OUT THIS BUSINESS WITH. IT IS APPARENT THAT I
NEED A FOREIGN PARTNER TO EXECUTE THIS BUSINESS WHO
WILL FILE IN APPLICATION AS NEXT OF KIN OF THE
DECEASED AND I COLLABORATE DISCREETLY WITH MY
POSITION TO HAVE THE FUND TRANSFERRED INTO YOUR
DESIGNATED ACCOUNT.
I WILL NOT FAIL TO INFORM YOU THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS
100% RISK FREE. ON SMOOTH CONCLUSION OF THIS
TRANSACTION, YOUR ENTITLEMENT IS 30% OF THE TOTAL SUM
AS GRATIFICATION, WHILE 10% WILL BE SET ASIDE TO
REIMBURSE EXPENSES THAT MAY BE INCURRED DURING THE
TIME OF TRANSFER AND ALSO TELEPHONE
BILLS ETC., WHILE 60% WILL BE FOR ME AND MY PARTNERS.
PLEASE YOU ARE ADVISED 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 ADVISE US TO INVEST.
AWAITING YOUR URGENT RESPONSE.
MR ADAMS OLIVIER OMAR.
