Subject: Hello

Dear friend,

I am Mr.Egna Martin, the assistant Manager in one of the Prime Banks here in Cote D’Ivoire, West Africa. I wish to place your name as the beneficiary to US$4.2 (Four Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars). This fund originally belongs to one of our foreign Customer who died in the year 2009, and has been dormant for these years without Claim as the customer did not declare his next of kin in the bank official papers.

Since I gathered all the information about this abandoned money, I am contacting you because you share the same last name, hence my proposal that the money be released to you as next of kin to the deceased. Failure to do this the money will be forfeited into the government treasury as unclaimed fund. Understand that the deceased customer is a foreigner and an Ivorian cannot be next of kin to foreign customer. I discovered your contact through a comprehensive web search.

I have also agreed that 20% of this money will be for you as foreign partner in respect to the provision of your account for the transfer, 9% will be set aside for any expenses that might occurred during the business and 71% would be for me, after which I shall visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage as indicated.

On your confirmation of this message and indicating your interest, I will draft an application FOR CLAIM which you will sign and return to the bank for the claim, and transfer of the money into your designated bank account details.

Please I would like you to keep this transaction confidential and as a top secret, and understand I am in charge here as much as I have your co-orperation you are not to nurse any fear concerning the fund getting to your bank account.

Regards,
Mr.Edwin Egna Martin.
