Cocody Cités des Arts,
Abidjan-Cote D'Ivoire
Good Day Dear Ewing,
I beg your excuse for the inconveniences that this Mail may cause to you.
My name is Mr. David Faye; I work with one of the local Banks here in
Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire, I am the personal accounts manager to one
Engr.Norman.R.Ewing, a National of your country, who owned a construction
company here in Ivory Coast (Cote d’Ivoire).
My client, his wife, and their three children were involved in the ill fated
Kenya Airways Flight 431 carring 179 people crashed in the coasts of Abidjan
in January 2000 in which almost all passengers on board died. Since then I
have made several inquiries to your Embassy to locate any of my clients
extended relatives but has been Unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful
attempts, I decided to trace his Last name over the Internet, to see if I
could locate any member of his family hence I came across your contact.
The particular interest is this huge amount deposited with our bank here in,
where the deceased has an account valued at about US$21 million United
States dollars.
Being the personal a/c manager of the decease's bank account, the bank has
issued me a notice to provide the next of kin/beneficiary or else the bank
will declare the account unserviceable and thereby forfeit the funds to the
bank treasury. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for
over the past 3 years now, I hereby seek your consent (with due respect and
Honor) to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the
same last names with him, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid
to you and then you and I will share the money.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal
through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under all legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please provide me with your full Name and Address, Date of birth, Telephone
and Fax Number for immediate documentations, If you can handle this with me,
reach me now urgently with the information requested.
Kindly reach me via my private email as indicated above for further details.
Thanks in advance for your anticipated cooperation.
Cordially,
>From Mr.David Faye.
