ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE
IVORY COAST
Hello My Dear One
Pls read this message and get back to me urgently. Pls I am serious about
this. May this mail find you in good condition in this year .
Permit me to inform you of my desire to go into business relationship with
you. I have the belief you are a reputable responsible and trustworthy
person I can rely on as a partner and as a matter of trust I must not
hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere transaction.
I am MR.James Gbohou a SENIOR MANAGEMENT Staff in Foreign/Operations
Department with one of the local banks here in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire IVORY
COAST .
On June 6 2000 an American Oil Consultant/Contractor with the Ivorien
National Petrolum Corporation MR.GEORGE EDWARD operated a Domiciliary
Account with my bank and made a numbered time fixed deposits amounting to
US$10 750 000 Ten Million Seven Hundred & Fifty Thousand United States
Dollars .
However on investigation it was discovered that MR.GEORGE EDWARD died in a
plane crash with EGYPTIAN FLIGHT BOEING 990 on 31st October 2003 along with
his family.
On further investigation I discovered that MR.GEORGE EDWARD did not leave a
WILL or NEXT OF KIN and all attempts to trace his Relatives to come for the
claim of this fund proved abortive till date. This sum of US$10 750 000 is
still lying in the Bank untouched and the INTEREST is being rolled over with
the principal sum at the end of each year. For the past 5 years now no one
has ever come forward to claim the fund.
According to Cote D'Ivoire IVORY COAST Laws at the expiration of 7 Seven
years the bank will return the money direct to Central Bank of Cote d'Ivoire
if nobody applies to claim the funds. However my proposal is that I will
like to FRONT you as a foreigner to stand in as the Next of Kin to MR.GEORGE
EDWARD so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into the
hands of these corrupt government
officials who might divert the fund direct into their personal pockets at
the end of the seven 7 years.
Also kindly consider the following Terms:-
1. I will like to present you as the legitimate Next of Kin to MR.GEORGE
EDWARD as the beneficiary of this fund.
2. You will provide our bank here with a viable account details where you
would like the bank to transfer the fund safely into your account as Next of
Kin of the former depositor - MR.GEORGE EDWARD.
3. Please note that there is NO RISK attached to this as all the Computer
Programming work will be done by me inserting your name as the legitimate
Beneficiary of this fund. This Transaction has nothing to do with government
of any country or individual. The main owner of the account is dead so feel
very free to co-operate with me so that we shall benefit from it at the end.
4. You will be entitled to 40% from the total amount as your compensation
after the transfer of fund into your account. As soon as I receive your
acceptance to participate in this transaction I will furnish you with the
necessary modalities to commence. Finally I am relying my confidence in you
believing that you will not disappoint me.
Therefore if you are interested please reply immediately for more details.
reach me now through this mail box.:
Awaiting your urgent reply.
God bless you.
Sincerely Yours
MR.James Gbohou
