Dear Friend,
I know that this mail will come to you as a surpriseas we have never
met before.My name is Dr.Taka Oji.I am the bill and exchange manager in
African Development Bank (ADB).I Ho ped that you willnot expose or betray
this trust and confident that I am about torepose on you for the mutual
benefit of our both families.
I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of our Bank who perished
along with his next of kin with Korean Air Line, flight number 801with the
whole passengers on 6th of augustus 1997 and for yourperusal you can view
this sitehttp://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9708/06/guam.passenger.list
Since thedemise of this our customer, I personally has watched with
keeninterest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one
has come to claim his funds of US$8.3M (Eight Million Three Hundred
Thoudsand United States Dollars) which has been with our branch for avery long
time.
On this note, I decided to seek for whom his nameshall be used as the
Next of Kin since nobody is coming for the fundagain.The Banking ethics
here does not allow such money to stay morethan 12years, because the money
will be recalled to the Bank treasuryas unclaimed fund after this period.
In view of this I got your contactthrough the internet when I was
making a research on a foreigner thatI will use in this great opportunity
because i dont want the money tobe recalled to our Bank treasury as uncliamed
fund.I have also agreedto offer 40% of the total sum and the rest 60% will be
for me.
Thereason for a foreigner in the business is for the fact that the
deceased man was a foreigner and it is not authorized by the lawguiding our
Bank for a citizen of this country to make the claim ofthe fund.So the
request of you as a foreigner is necessary to applyfor the release and
transfer of the fund smoothly into your reliableBank account as the surving
relation to the deceased.
If you arereally sure of your integerity, trust worthy and
confidentiality, andaccept not to cheat or disappoint me after this business, reply
withyour telephone and fax numbers and banking account details where you
wish to receive the fund.
Upon receipt of the above mentionedinformations,indicating your
interest in the business,I will send youby fax or e-mail a letter of application
which you will type and sendback to our bank to enable us start this
transaction.
I will notfail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch
free and donthave any negative impact.You should not entertain any fear as
allmodalities for the smooth and easy transfer of this fund has been
finalized, this transaction will be completed within 14 bank workingdays
immediately we start the business.
Waiting for your urgentresponse and please kindly delete if you are
not interested.
