Subject: DO NOTIFY ME YOUR INTEREST......
Seasons greetings,
I pray my message meets you in good condition.
It's Just my urgent need for a foreign partner that made me to contact you for this transaction. I am a Banker by Profession from Nigeria in West Africa and currently holding the post of chief auditor in charge of debt recovery in our Bank.
I have the opportunity to transfer an unclaimed funds ($22.3 Million) belonging to one of my Bank's client who died along with his entire family in Benin Plane Crash 2003.
Upon your positive response to this covenant, I will make all necessary information known to you, as I attached here the website of the incident, http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html
Hence, I am inviting you for a business deal where the deceased fund can be transferred into your account successfully as next of kin to the deceased person.
Upon this achievement we share in the ratio of 35% for you, 60% for myself and 5% for any incurable expenses that will come during the transfer, If you agree to my business proposal,further details of the transfer will be forwarded to you as soon as I receive your mail.
This is the agreement you must abide before we move further so there will be not misunderstanding ( on percentage) when the funds arrived into your account.
Have a green day.
Yours Faithfully,
MR TOBIAS ELVIS.
