DEAR SIR,
WITH WARM HEART I OFFER MY FRIENDSHIP, BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP HOPING THAT THIS MAIL WILL MEETS YOU IN GOOD TIME.HOWEVER STRANGE OR SURPRISING THiS CONTACT MIGHT SEEM TO YOU, AS WE HAVE NOT MET PERSONALLY OR HAD ANY DEALINGS IN THE PAST, I HUMBLY ASK THAT YOU TAKE DUE COSIDERATION OF IT'S IMPORTANCE AND IMMENSE BENEFIT.I ALSO SINCERELY SEEK YOUR CONFIDENCE, AS I MAKE THIS BUSINESS PROPOSAL TO YOU AS A PERSON OF INTEGRITY.FIRST AND FOREMOST I WISH TO INTRODUCE MYSELF PROPERLY TO YOU.
I AM MR WILLIAMS MAYINE, THE MANAGER OF BILLS AND EXCHANGE AT THE FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT OF THIS BANK. IAM WRITING FOLLOWING THE IMPRESSIVE INFORMATION ABOUT YOU THROUGH ONE OF MY FRIENDS WHO RUNS A CONSULTANCY FIRM. HE ASSURED ME OF YOUR CAPABILITY AND RELIABILITY TO CHAMPION THIS BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.
IN MY DEPARTMENT, WE DISCOVERED AN ABANDONED SUM OF $18.5M US DOLLARS IN A DORMICILIARY ACCOUNT THAT BELONG TO ONE OF OUR FOREIGN CUSTOMERS WHO DIED IN A GHASTLY PLANE CRASH ON MONDAY JULY 31ST 2000 ALONG WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY.SINCE WE GOT THE INFORMATION ABOUT HIS DEATH, WE HAVE EXPECTED HIS NEXT OF KIN TO COME OVER AND CLAIM THE MONEY BECAUSE WE CANNOT RELEASE IT UNLESS SOMEBODY APPLIES FOR IT AS THE NEXT OF KIN OR RELATION TO THE DECEASED AS INDICATED IN OUR BANKING GUIDELINES. UNFORTUNATELY WE LEARNT THAT ALL HIS SUPPOSED NEXT OF KIN OR RELATIONS DIED ALONG WITH HIM AT THE PLANE CRASH LEAVING NOBODY BEHIND FOR THE CLAIM.IT IS UPON THIS DISCOVERY THEREFORE,THAT I AND SOME KEY OFFICIALS IN MY DEPARTMENT NOW DECIDED TO MAKE BUSINESS WITH YOU AND RELEASE THE MONEY TO YOU AS THE NEXT OF KIN OR RELATION OF THE DECEASED FOR SAFE-KEEPING AND SUBSEQUENT DISBURSEMENT WITH YOU SINCE NOBODY IS COMING FOR IT AND WE DO NOT WANT THIS MONEY TO BE RECYCLED INTO THE BANK'S BOUNDED
ACCOUNT AS AN UNCLAIMED FUND.
THE REQUEST FOR A FOREIGNER AS NEXT OF KIN IN THIS BUSINESS IS OCCASIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS A FOREIGNER AND AN IVORIAN CANNOT STAND AS NEXT OF KIN TO A FOREIGNER. WE HAVE AGREED THAT 30% OF THIS MONEY WILL BE FOR YOU AS FOREIGN PARTNER, 5% FOR ANY EXPENSES THAT YOU WILL INCUR AND 65% FOR ME AND MY COLLEAQUES. THEREAFTER I AND MY COLLEAGUES WILL VISIT YOUR COUNTRY FOR THE DISBURSEMENT ACCORDING TO THE AGREED PERCENTAGES. PERSONALLY,I WOULD WANT YOU TO ADVISE ME ON THE BEST AREA OF INVESTMENT BECAUSE I AM CONSIDERING TO INVEST THE GREATER PROPORTION OF MY SHARE IN YOUR COUNTRY.
IT MAY INTEREST YOU TO KNOW THAT, TWO YEARS AGO WE CARRIED OUT A SIMILAR TRANSACTION WITH ONE MR. PATRICE MILLER, THE PRESIDENT OF CRAINE INTLTRADING COOPERATION OF N0. 135 EAST 57TH STREET, 28TH FLOOR, NEW YORK WITH TEL. NO.(212) 308 7788 AND TELEX NO. 6731689 AFTER THE MONEY WAS DULY TRANSFERRED INTO HIS ACCOUNT, ONLY TO BE DISAPPOINTED ON OUR ARRIVAL IN NEW YORK,THAT HE HAD CHANGE ADDRESS AND HIS TELEPHONE AND TELEX NUMBERS HAD BEEN RELLOCATED TO ANOTHER PERSON.THAT'S HOW WE LOST $12M TO MR. PATRICE MILLER AND WE COULD NOT REPORT THE CASE TO THE AUTHORITIES OR POLICE DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE TRANSACTION AS BEING UTTERLY CONFIDENTIAL. THAT WHY WE NEEDED A MORE RELIABLE AND TRUST WORTHY PARTNER THIS TIME.
THEREFORE TO ENABLE THE IMMEDIATE TRANSFER OF THE FUND TO YOU AS ARRANGED,YOU SHOUD FIRST APPLY TO THE BANK AS THE NEXT OF KIN OR BUSINESS PARTNER OF THE DECEASED INDICATING YOUR ACCOUNT DETAILS WHEREIN THE MONEY WILL BE REMITED.
UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR REPLY MAIL, I SHALL SEND TO YOU THE TEXT OF THE APPLICATION WHICH YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO SUMIT TO THE BANK FOR THE BANK'S PROCEDURAL AUTHENTICATION AND IMMEDIATE REMITTANCE OF THE MONEY TO THE ACCOUNT YOU ARE GOING TO NOMINATE.BE INFORMED THAT ALL THE ENABLING LOGISTICS FOR THE IMMEDIATE TRANSFER OF THE FUND ONCE WE PROCEED HAVE BEEN IN PLACE AND BE REST ASSURED THAT THE TRANSACTION IS ABSOLUTELY RISK-FREE.
THANKING YOU FOR YOUR ANTICIPATED CO-OPERATION. YOU SHOULD MAINTAIN ABSOULT CONFIDENTIAL IN THIS DEAL.
THANKS AND MAY ALMIGHTY GOD BLESS YOU. YOU SHOULD SEND YOUR RESPONSE TO MY PRIVATE MAIL ADDRESS: williams50mayine@yahoo.fr
