Subject: Greetings,
Greetings,
I am Mr. Serge George , the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of Versus Bank (Abidjan) Ivory Coast . I have a business transaction that will be benefit both of us. One of deceased person died including his family in a plane crash and his fund has been dormant in his account
with our Bank without any claim . The said amount was U.S $5.2M (Five million two hundred United States dollars). Since nobody is ready to come for the claim and my co-workers has forgot all about this fund, I took my time monitored every situation to know whether there will be a problem, but
non. So I packaged the money in a Metallic Trunk box and deposited in a security company company here and signed it as Family valuable. Now, I am seeking for your assistance to help me get this fund claim out from here to your country so that I will resign and come down to your country with my
family. Without foreign partner, the security company said that they cannot release the consignment to me, that is why I need a second party. We will share the fund 60/40, you will have 40% for your noble assistance immediately we get the consignment claimed. Please if you are interested to
assist me, kindly get back to me immediately you read this mail so that I will tell you what next to do.
Yours faithfully
Mr. Serge George
