Subject: Take a look
Dear friend,
I am making this contact with you based on trust and confidence I have for you and your Company irrespective of the fact that we have not met before and because of the nature of the business I am about to introduce to you, I want to remain positive having the faith, the will and convincing myself that you will be interested and capable to do business with me. This business proposal I wish to intimate you with is of mutual benefit and its success is entirely based on mutual trust, cooperation and a high level of confidentiality as regard this transaction.
My name is Mr. Philip Sylva, the kind of the relationship and the confidential nature makes it imperative for me to contact you directly by email. An American, a late business magnate Mr. John Schelpert, until his death years ago aboard Egypt Air Flight 990, which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on October 31, 1999. To see the details of this plane crash, please click on the (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm). There is a fixed deposit of US$14,900,000.00 (Fourteen Million Nine Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) made in a Senegalese bank for purpose of investment in west African sub region till his untimely death, since 1999 and since then no claim or withdrawal have been made on that deposit.
Fortunately, I have been the person in charge of this deposit from the day of deposit to date. This great late business magnate died without a written or oral ' WILL' attached to the account with respect to his investment in Real Estate Company. It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any of his next of kin. Rapidly, I took the precaution of converting this fund worth US$14,900,000.00 Dollars to the [open secure programme] and deposited it with OPEN BENEFICARY-which allows anybody or person that has accurate information to the deposit can lay claim to it. The Governing Body of the Bank here in Dakar has contacted me on this matter and I am yet to provide the Next of Kin to lay a claim to the Fund. Under a clear and legitimate agreement with you, I shall seek your consent to be presented as the next of Kin without any risk involved so that my late Client's Fund will not be confiscated by the Government.
For your sincere and honest commitments in this transaction, I am willing to let you keep 30% of this fund for your assistance while we keep 70% to us. Your are free to make immediate contact with me through my email address or on the alternative, via my direct telephone number: 00221764676172 for further information related to this matter.
Thank you very much for your anticipated acceptance while I expect your prompt response.
Yours respectively,
Mr. Philip Sylva
