Dear One,
I am a staff of BANK ATLANTIC, ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE, We had a client from Turkey resident in Abidjan, he was a Produce Buyer/Exporter in Abidjan
Cote d'Ivoire, He has in his account with my bank,the sum of (US$12.8M).he died five years ago with his family in Cote D'Ivoire War, Until today non-of his next of kin has come forward, for the money and none of his relativies have come for the money. Having noticed this, I,in collaboration with the Foreign Operations Manager and the Audit Director have covered up this deposit all this while to avoid the money going into the Governments treasury
as an unclaimed deposit. Now we want you (being a foreigner) to be fronted as next of kin and forward particulars and other relevant documents to be
advised to you by me to attest to the Claim. I will use my position to get all internal documentation to back up the claim. The whole procedures will last
only Seven working days to get the money transfered to your account. I will give you (25%)of the total sum at the end of the transaction. This transaction is risk free.Thanks as I await your earliest response to my private mail address:mr.steve_ntarezeb@yahoo.fr
Regards
Mr. Steve Ntarezeb.
