Subject: MATTER OF URGENCY/PLEASE GET BACK TO ME
DEAR SIR/MADAM,
I am MR JEFF OJEI an account officer with ECO BANK PLC . I am writing
following an opportunity in my office that will be of immense benefit to
both of us. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $30 million
(Thirty million united states dollars ) in an account that belongs to one
of our foreign customers Late Mr. Herve Garboudes who operates
an account with a finance company who perished in a plane crash swissair
Flight 111]
and the whole passengers aboard on september 2nd 1998.
See link below to read for more details about the crash.

http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/WORLD/americas/9809/08/swissair.02/ .
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
kin or relatives to come over and claim his money because we cannot release
it
unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines.Unfortunately I learnt that his supposed
next of kin being his wife [Amanda Garboudes] and his two children died
along
with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of this fund
behind
for the claim.It is therefore upon this discovery that I and two other
officials in this
department now decided to make business with you and release the money to
you
as the next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for safety keeping and
subsequent
disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money
to go back into Government treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such money remained
after Eight years the money will be transferred into banking treasury as
unclaimed funds. We agreed that 30% of this money will be for you as
foreign partner, while the balance will be for me and my colleagues. I will
visit your country for the disbursement according to the percentages
indicated above once this money gets into your account.Please be honest to
me and trust is our watchword in this transaction.Note this transaction is
confidential and risk free. As soon as you receive this mail you should
contact me by return mail.Please note that all necessary arrangement for
the smooth release of these funds to you has been finalised. We will
discuss much in details when I do receive your response. Please in your
response include your telephone number for easy communication
between us.
Best regards,
MR JEFF OJEI.
