From: "Mr. Kunta Sele" <ksele5@hotmail.com>
Date: Thu, 03 May 2007 11:46:04 +0000
Subject: YOUR FULL CO-OPERATION, REPLY ASAP.
FROM: MR SELE KUNTA
MANAGER TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK LTD.
ACCRA-GHANA.
EMAIL: mrksele@yahoo.com
Greetings,
I got your contact during my search for a reliable,
trust worthy and honest person to introduce this
transfer project with. I am the manager treasury
department of Africa Development Bank Limited. In my
department I discovered an abandoned 450KG of GOLD and
the sum of US$10.5 (Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our
foreign customer who died along with his entire family
in a plane crash that happened in Kenya, East Africa.
Since we got information about his death, our bank
have been expecting his next of kin 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
and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his
supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with
him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the
claim. You can read more about the death of Dr. George
W. Brumley:
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided
to make this business proposal to you and release the
money as the next of kin or relation to the deceased
for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is
coming for it and I don't want this money to go into
the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
I agree that 40% of this money will be for you as a
foreign partner, in respect to the provision of
foreign account, and 60% for me; there after I will
visit your country for disbursement according to the
percentage indicated after the transfer is done.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you the
text of transfer application to fill and send to our
head office. I will not fail to bring to your notice
that this transaction is 100% Risk free as it will
only take us three banking working days and you should
not entertain any atom of fear.
You should contact me as soon as you receive this
letter as I wait your urgent response.
Regards,
Mr. Sele Kunta.
