MS ROSE ADAMS,
ABIDJAN-IVORY COAST,
DEAR,
MY NAME IS MS ROSE ADAMS STAFF IN BANKING AND OPERATION DEPRTMENT OF A COMMERCIAL BANK IN IVORY COAST I HAVE URGENT AND VERY CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSITION FOR YOU.
ON JANUARY 8 2003, AN OIL CONSULTANT / CONTRACTOR WITH IVORY COAST NATIONAL PETROLEUM COPORATION MADE A NUMBERED TIME (FIXED) DEPOSITED FOR THREE CALENDER YEARS WALUED AT US$7,000,000,00 (SEVEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) IN MY BRANCH UPON MATURITY.
I SENT A ROUTINE NOTIFICATION TO HIS FORWARDING ADDRESS BUT GOT NO REPLY AFTER A MONTH; WE SENT A REMINDER AND FINALLY DISCOVERED THAT THE CUSTOMER WHO DEPOSITED THIS FUND DIED IN A PLANE CRASH ALONG WITH ENTIRE FAMILY.ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION,I FOUND OUT THAT HE DID NOT LEAVE A WILL AND ALL ATTEMPTS TO TRACE HIS NEXT OF KIN WERE FRUITLESS.
I THEREFORE MADE FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND DISCOVERED THAT HE DID NOT DECLARE ANY NEXT OF KIN IN ALL HIS OFFICICAL DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING HIS BANK DEPOSIT PAPERWORK.
THIS SUM OF US$7, 000, 000, 00 USD (SEVEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) IS STILL IN THE BANK AND THE INTEREST IS BEING ROLED OVER WITH THE PRINCIPAL SUM AT THE END OF EACH YEAR. NO ONE WILL COME FORWARD TO CLAIM IT.
ACCORDING TO THE IVORY COAST LAW, AT THE EXPIRATION OF (THREE) YEARS, THE MONEY WILL REVERT TO THE OWNERSHIP OF THE IVORY COAST GOVEMMENT IF NOBODY APPLIES TO CLAIM THE FUNDS, AS AN ABANDONED TREASURE.
CONSEQUENTLY, MY PROPOSAL IS THAT I WILL LIKE YOU AS A FOREIGNER TO STAND IN AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THE DEAD CUSTOMER, FOR THIS (SEVEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) TO BE RELEASE TO YOU, SO THAT THE FRUITS OF THIS OLD MANS LABOUR WILL NOT GET INTO THE HANDS OF SOME CORRUPT GOVEMMENT OFFICIALS.
AS AN ACCOUNTANT AND STAFF OF THIS BANK, WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS SIMPLE, AS FAR AS YOU FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTION. MAY I INFORM YOU THAT SECRECY, TRUST, HONEST AND CONFIDENTIALITY SHOULD BE A BASE FOR THE SUCCESS OF THIS TRANSACTION, BASE ON THIS, ME AND YOU ARE MUCH EXPECTED TO KEEP THIS BISINESS VERY SECRET AND CONFIDENTIAL.
I AM PROMISING THAT AS SOON AS WE GET THIS FUND TRANSFERRED INTO YOUR ACCOUNT, I WILL GIVE YOU 40% OF THE TOTAL SUM AS A COMPENSATION FOR YOUR FULL ASSISTANCE, WHILE 60% WILL BE FOR ME AND I WILL BE INTERESTED IN INVESTING PART OF MY OWN SHARE IN ANY KIND OF BUSINESS IN YOUR COUNTRY.
MORE INFORMATION OF THE STEPS TO FOLLOW IN ORDER TO ACTUALISE THIS AIM WILL BE DETAIL TO YOU AS SOON AS YOU ARE INTERESTED, THERE IS NO RISK, MY POSITION AS A STAFF OF THIS BANK, I GUARANTEE THE SUCCESSFUL EXECUTION OF THIS BUSINESS.
BEST REGAERDS,
MS ROSE ADAMS
