Subject: WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU.
Hello,
I am Mr. Ahmed Kubani, I am head of the audit department of a prime bank here in Dakar-Senegal. I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you and I. On November 14th, 2000, Mr. Jimmy stone Oxford, made a numbered time(Fixed)Deposit for Twenty Four calendar months, valued at US$ 8.4 million (Eight Million, Four Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in my branch.
Upon maturity which was supposed to be 14th November 2002, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got reply from The Construction Corporation, where he was a board member that Mr. Jimmy stone Oxford was involved in a plane crash on October 25th, 2002 on his way back from America to Africa,after vacation.
On further investigation. I found out that he died without making a "WILL", and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless, as his wife and daughter were also involved in the crash.I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Jimmy stone Oxford did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$ 8.4 million is still sitting in my Bank 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 Dakar-Senegal laws, at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Senegal Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as aforeigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Jimmy stone Oxford so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names address and contact informations (Tel & Fax Nos),to make the necessary changes and also prepare the necessary documents which will put you in place as the next-of-kin.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Bank top Officials for huge transfers like this, and my position as a Director guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via a return email. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details that will help you understand the transaction and the way forward. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be 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.
I await you propmt response.
Regards,
Mr Ahmed Kubani.
