Dear Friend.
First,I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly CONFIDENTIAL and TOP SECRET. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried,but I assuring you that all is well.
I am Mr Jonah Kabiru, the director in charge of auditing section of a prime Bank here in west Africa. With due respect and regard,I am contacting you based on Trust and confidentiality that will be attached to this transaction for the benefit of both of us.
During the auditing in the bank,my department came across an abandoned sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died in a plane crash Egyptian airline,along with his wife. Do confirm more
through this website (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/world/americas/502503.stm) And the fund has been dormant in his account without any claim either from his family or relation before my discovery
to this development.Personally,I have kept this information secret within myself to help me plan
on how to move this money successfully without any problem.The amount is (US$42,000,000,00 M) fourty-two Million US Dollars.
All arrangements to put claim on this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased,and transfer this money to your foreign account has been put in place, and I will provide all needed information as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to handle this with me and also benefit from this great business opportunity. In fact I could have done this alone but because of my position in the bank as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer. This is the actually the main reason why it will require a second party,very trusted person who will forward claims as the next of kin to our Bank and also present an account where this money will be transferred into without problem.
May I also inform you that this transaction is risk free as I have planned this successfully before contacting you.On smooth conclusion of this transaction,you will be entitled to 40% of the total sum as your own share,while 5% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the course of this,while 55% will be for me.
Please,you must keep this as a top secret because I am still in service and intend to retire from my work after the conclusion of this transaction with you.
Your involvement as a foreigner is necessary because the management is ready to welcome any person, a foreigner who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you if you
are ready to conclude this with me,keeping to my instructions because I don't want to make
mistake. I need your strong assurance that this money will be intact pending my arrival in your country for sharing.
Be informed that I will destroy all the documents relating to this transaction immediately after this money has be transferred into your account.
All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you.I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible on this e-mail address stating your interest in this transaction.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Jonah Kabiru.
