Hello,
I am Dr.John Wayas and i will fully introduce myself to you upon your acceptance to handle this urgent and beneficial transaction with me, i work with a finance company here in Dakar Senegal as Director.One of our clients, Mr.Mamadou William, whom before his death was an adviser to the Organization of Petroleum Export Country (OPEC), had over fifty Million United States Dollars lodged with us. On his death five years ago, his heir (his wife) put a claim for his money and my company paid off in line with her request. However,his wife did not know that the facts of Twenty eight Million United States Dollars(USD$28M) paid in by Mr.Mamadou William in a different private deposit was still laying with us. I therefore made further investigations and discovered that Mr.Mamadou did not declare any next of kin or relations in all the official documents including his Bank deposit paper work in our finance company.
This sum of USD$28M is still in our finance company but i have succeeded in secretely moving out the file of deposit. No one has and will ever come forward to claim it. According to Ecowas law, at the expiration of 7 (seven) years, The money will be reverted to the ownership of the Senegalese Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Based on my position in this finance company , I have kept the facts of this case to myself alone.The reason I have decided to contact you is because I am quite certain I can move these funds into your account Immediately i see that you are interested in this business.As i am the director in the telex department,I shall update the files of deposit placing your name legally as the next of kin on all the original files and deposit documents.You shall only require to put in an application with a letter of probate, which I will forward to you.
On grounds that you agree to handle this transaction with me, the money will be shared in the ratio of 50% for me and 40% for you. However 10% shall be mapped out in case of any expenses incured before or after this transaction, it is quite necessary that this issue is kept as confidential as possible for its successful completion within Some days.
Please contact me and I will direct you on every detailed steps we shall be required to take and i assure you that with your full readiness,we shall move out the deposit immediately within a few days. I will be expecting your reply in my private email box .
Best Regards.
Dr.John Wayas
