Subject: MESSAGE FROM MR QUATTARA
Dear Friend,
It's my Pleasure writing to you at this moment of the day, I am Mr. IBRAHIM QUATTARA. I am chief accountant officer with the one of the prime banks here in Cote D棚voire. I deem it fit to contact you regarding a transaction that will favour both of us at the end, I want to know if I can
trust you in claiming the fund in question.
I discovered the sum of Fifteen million United States Dollars (USD15MILLION) belonging to a deceased customer of this bank. The fund has been lying in a suspense account without anybody coming to put claim over the money since the account owner late Dr. Hamid Ayed from Lebanon, WHO DIED in the
December 2003 Benin plane crash. Here is the air crash website unfiltered= http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html
The said fund is now ready for transfer to a foreign account whose owner will be portrayed as the beneficiary and next of kin to the deceased customer of the bank.
The foreign account owner will act as the next of kin to the deceased and respond positively like a true next of kin who wishes to speed up the release and transfer of his inherited fund. If the over due fund is not claimed by the end of next quarter of this fiscal year, the government of the
Republic of Cote D棚voire will take over the ownership of the fund in line with the Federal Edict Act of 1979. Honestly I do not want the government to take over the ownership of this money, that is why I'm contacting you for us to work this out together, so that I will portray you as the confide
next of kin to the deceased whose name is Dr. Hamid Ayed.
If you accept to carry out this TRANSACTION with me, I will offer you 40% of the total sum, while I will take 60% of the total sum which you will transfer into my private account which I will open after the successful transfer of the inheritance into your account . Upon your acceptance to
execute this deal with me I will advise all the modalities involve which carries no risk and no extra responsibilities on your part, except the above mentioned roles . normally you will be required to maintain absolute information and absolute secrecy through out the duration of this transaction,
because discussing it with a third party might jeopardise the entire transaction.
Before we proceed in this great deal, I want you to forward to me ASAP the following information below INORDER to establish a mutual RELATIONSHIP.
1) Your Residential/Office Address.
2) Your Telephone/Fax Number.
3) Your profession.
4) Your Age/Marital status.
Once I receive the above mentioned information, I will send you a specimen claim application which you will fill and submit to the Bank management for the claim.
I am looking forward to receiving your interesting response on this PROPOSAL as this will greatly enrich both of us at the end. Your urgent response will be appreciated.
Faithfully,
MR.IBRAHIM QUATTARA
