Dear friend,
permit me to introduce my good self.My
name is Ken B rown.I work with the Western Golden Bank of Abidjan,
Cote D' I Voire as an accountant Foreign operation
department. In the discharge of my duty, I stumbled on
this domiciliary account that has remained dormant
for three years now with fifteen million dollars ($15m)in it.
I contacted my director and we sent out staff for
enquiries and discovered that the account holder died
in auto-crash with the next of kin.I am writing you
so that we can work with you to remit the money
into your account as the next of kin.
It is simple process which will take a short while to
process. outside this, the bank management will
confiscate the money.If I hear from
you,I will tell you all you need to Know about the money.
Regards
Mr.Ken B rown
