Subject: From Mr Greg Mcarthy
*From Mr Greg Mcarthy
Estate Trust Bank
Kerewan-Branch
Gambia. *
*Dear Friend,*
*It will be a surprise for you to receive this mail.
I am Mr. Greg Mcarthy the Director of the Account & Auditing Dept.of Estate
Trust Bank (Etbank) . With due respect, I have decided to contact you on a
business transaction that will be beneficial to both of us. At the bank's
last account/auditing evaluations, I came across an old account which was
being maintained by a foreign customer who we learnt died on a sudden motor
accident along Togo -Gambia expressroad on his way back to Gambia with his
entire family (his wife and his only child) on the 6th Nov. 2003. *
*Since the deceased was unable to opearte this account since his death (
almost 4 years now) this account has remained dormant without the knowledge
of his family and no member of his family has applied for this fund because
he did not name his next of kin while depositing the fund. It was put in a
safe deposit account in the bank for future investment by "deceased" our
customer . Since our client is a foreign national and did not name any next
of kin here to file claims over the money,I with a few personnel in my dept,
have decided to seek ways through which to transfer this money out of the
bank to a foreign country . *
*The total amount in the accounts is Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand
U.S. Dollars ($12,5Million). With our positions as staff of the bank, we are
handicapped because we cannot operate foreign accounts or transfer this fund
without the asistance of a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to the
deceased. While contemplating on whom to use as next of kin to the deceased,
I came across your email contact in the internet directory and I decided to
ask you for help to transfer this money out of my country to a foreign
country. Since the deceased is a foreign national , you will only be asked
to act as his next of kin or business partner. I will supply you with all
necessary informations and bank data to assist you transfer this money to
any bank of your choice . *
*I have decided to give away 35% to you for your assistance,65% is for us
the officials and ten (10%) for any expenses that might arise during this
transaction . All documents and proof that will enable you claim this fund
successfully will be fowarded to you upon your response with the following:
*
*
1.) Your full names and address. 2.) Your age and occupation
3.) Your direct phone/fax numbers for easy communication.
I guarantee that this transaction will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law BUT please keep
this transaction a top secret Your urgent/honest responce will highly be
appreciated.
My Tel.No. is 234-805-043-3166.
Regards, *
