FROM THE DESK OF BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
MR.UBAH BIA
BANQUE INTERNATIONALE DE COTE DIVOIRE
ABIDJAN,COTE D, IVOIRE.
Dear
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign
remittance department
of Banque internationale de Abidjan (BIAO).I am
writing for your support and assistance to carry out
this transaction ,
In my department i discovered an abandoned sum of
$4.5 M U.S dollars
Four Million, Five Hundred Thousand U.S dollars) .In
an account that belongs to one of our foreign
customer who died along with his entire family in a
concord plane crash in the year 2000 in paris that
almost took the whole life of the pasengeres on board
,Since our bank got the information about his death,
we have been expecting his beneficiary to come over
and claim his money because we cannot release unless
somebody applies for it as beneficiary or next of kin
to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines
but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed
next of kin or beneficiary died
along side with him at the plane crash leaving nobody
behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this
discovery that I now decided to make this businness
proposal to you and release the money to you as the
next of kin or beneficiary to the deceased for safety
and subsequent disbursement since
nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money
to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Funds .
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if
such money remained unclamed after six years, the
money will be transfered into the Bank treasury
account as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as
next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact
that the customer was a foreigner and an Ivoirean
cannot stand as next of kin or beneficiary to a
foreigner.
I shall give you the 30 % of this money for your full
surport and efforts to transfer this money into your
account, in respect to the provision of a foreign
account, 10% will be set aside for any expenses
incured during the transfer and 60 % would be for me,
There after I will visit your country for
disbursement accoding to the percentages
indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer
of this fund to you as arranged,
you must apply first to the bank as beneficiary or
next of kin of the
deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account
number, your private telephone and fax number for easy
and effective communication and location where the
money will be remitted,
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by
email the text of
the application. I will not fail to bring to your
notice that the transfer of this money
is risk free there is no risk involve and you
should not entertain any atom of fear as all required
arrangements have been made for the transfer,
You should contact me immediately as soon as you
receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
MR. UBAH BIA
