FROM MISS ANGEL KRA
ACCOUNTS DEPARTMENT,
BIAO- BANK-ABIDJAN
COTE D'IVORE
Dear
Compliments of the day and how are you today hope fine. Before I proceed would like to introduce myself to you. As a banker like to share this great deal with you.
My name is MISS ANGEL KRA, a staff with accounts/ operation department of BIAO- BANK- ABIDJAN COTE D’IVOIRE (FOMER IVORY COAST). I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you
On June 6 2001, An oil consultant / contractor with the ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE National Petroleum Corporation, Mr.MOHAMED KHAN, made a numbered time(fix) deposit for twelve calendar valued at US$17,000,000.00 (Seventeen Million united states dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contact employers COTE D'IVOIRE National Petroleum Corporation that Mr.MOHAMED KHAN, died in a plane crash with his entire family.
On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr.MOHAMED KHAN, did not declear any next of kin in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit . This sum of US$17,000,000.00 is still sitting in the Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will come forward to claim it.
According to the ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE Law, at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the COTE D'IVOIRE Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. MOHAMED KHAN, so that the fruits of this old mans labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
This is simple.
1. I will like you to provide me immediately with your full name and address so that the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents and affidavits, which will put you in place as the next of kin to this fixed deposit. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 70% for me and 30% for you. There is no risk as all the paper work for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as a staff of this department, guarantees the successful execution of this deal.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address below or up. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the deal very well. 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 reinvest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent response via email reply here ( engellkra@yahoo.fr ) feel free to ask me for more detail.
Yours
MISS ANGEL KRA
