Subject: From Mr Godwin
Revelational Claim.
Hello Dear,
I humbly appologise with every due respect for any embarrassment my action in contacting you might cause you. Owing to the fact that we do not know each other before. This is because of this ample opportunity before me to which I will never want us to loose. But for the fact that I cannot do it alone, I therefore wish to contact you for it. My name is (Mr. Godwin G.O Yameogo) a citizen of this country. I got a job in a bank here after my graduation as a senior accountant, working directly under the chief accountant controling international remittance funds and all foreign account departments. I was inspired to contact you purely on business deal in relation to this development that came up at the bank where I work. On an emergency executive board meeting been summoned and presided over by the bank's chairman on friday the 17th of August 2007, in which I was opportuned to be present at the meeting. It was revealed as a top agenda for the meeting that there was this customer to the bank whose name is Dr. Yasser Taymullah Muwaffaq from Saudi Arabia. This man deposited the sum of $10,000,000.00 (Ten Million United States Dollars Only) in a domicilliary account with the Bank where I am working presently on December 22nd, 2000. Unfortunately, in 2002, he died in plane crash on his way to their muslim feast in his country alongside with his entire immediate family of wife and two children. However, ever since the incident, nobody has come up or applied as the next of kin or relation to the deceased as to claim back the money.
To this effect therefore, the bank have reached an agreement that if by 22nd of Dec., 2007, nobody comes up or applies as the deceased next of kin or relation, the fund would be absorbeb into the banks treasury as an unclaimed asset as it is the bank's standard that in a case of this nature, where the money remains unclaimed for 7yrs, then it automatically becomes an inverted asset /unclaimed bill. Now my dear I want you to see this as a most beautiful opportunity that has come our way to which I have vowed to utilize wisely by co-operatively puting hands together with you to beat the bank. On this note herein I contact you, to assist me lets claim this money. It is very easy as nobody can suspect me of aiding such claim, although this is purely bank's deal and it is 100% risk free provided you will adequately follow my advice and instructions because I will be as an insider here to put you through, if only you can provide a secured and trusted bank account that can carry such amount as stated above when transfered by the bank. The truth is that the money in question is never mine nor yours, we are only going to use wisdom to divert this funds for ourselves. This is because the bank is more than rich and it will be foolishness to allow them convert this funds into the bank's treasury. GOD FORBID, I'm going to sacrifice my all to see that we claim this fund. As an insider,I have been able to grab all neccessary information related to this deal.I will be able to stand by you and furnish you comprehensively, with all that it will take to make this deal a success. I cannot be alive and watch the bank divert this money into the bank's treasury, never.
The depositor was a foreigner and it must take a foreigner to apply as the next of kin, that is why I am contacting you as a foreigner. After this money is finally transferred to your account, I will then resign up my appointment with the bank and come over to your country for disbursment and perhaps reside there as you may help me. The offer for assistance will be 45% for you, 50% for me and balance 5% for any enevitable expenses that will be incured in this deal. On your response to this my appeal, I will be able to acquaint you with further steps to achieving this deal snapidly. Respond to me as quickly as possible. Remember this deal is between you & me only and no one else knows I am involved, therefore, you must do everything possible to protect my interest by keeping this deal to yourself alone to avoid implications as you can see I am still a civil servant. Bear in mind that we have only but a limited time to get this deal acomplished.
No room for delays.
Sincerely yoursMr. Godwin G.O Yameogo
