Hello Dear,

I am Mr. Kone Ado, the principal treasury officer with one of the prime banks in Ivory Coast. I have decided to contact you through this medium based on a business proposal, which will be of mutual benefit to both of us. I discovered your email through comprehensive web email search on directory so I decided to contact you. I know this might sound strange to you because of the activities going on in the internet today. But I assure you that this will workout for us.

I am the account manager to one of our late client, from your country, he worked with an oil servicing company here in Ivory Coast, the late client made a numbered time (fixed) deposited for twelve calendar months, valued at $10,200,000.00 (Ten Million Two Hundred Thousand American Dollar) in my branch. Upon maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.

After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, PETRO-CI Corporation that my client died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a will and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that the deceased person did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents, including his bank deposit paperwork.

This sum of ($10,200,000.00) is still sitting in the bank and the interest is rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will come forward to claim it. According to the law of Ivory Coast, at the expiration of 10{TEN} years, the money will be reverted to Ivory Coast government if nobody claims it.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to deceased person for the fact that you have same last name with him so that this money will not be reverted by the government. If this request matches with your inward intention for success and greatness, then you are urged to make a quick response indicating your interest and readiness to participate and work with me to make this successful.

Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country. In your return mail, please do forward your information as listed below if you are willing to complete this transaction with me, to enable me put the total fund in your name for claim as the next of kin to the deceased person:

Your full name:
Occupation:
Your contact address:
Your phone number:
Your age:

I wait for your urgent reply.

Regards,

Mr. Kone Ado.
