Subject: TREAT URGENTLY AND CONFIDENTIAL.
FROM THE DESK OF MR ALI KERIA.
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
BANK OF AFRICAN.
WEST AFRICA.
TREAT URGENTLY AND CONFIDENTIAL.
Dear,
How are you,first i will explain my self in brief for you before we
proceed.I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign
remittance department of BANK OF AFRICA (BOA) I am writing to Seek
your interest over a business , In my department we discovered an
abandoned sum of $20m US dollars ( twenty million US dollars).
In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer ( MR.
ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany) who died along with his entire
family in July 31st 2000 in a plane crash.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his
next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release
it unless his next of kin or relative applies for it as next of kin or
relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but
unfortunately we learn t that all his supposed next of kin or relation
died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for
the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and two other officials in
my department now decided to escape with the fund,and as such we vial
to make this business proposal to you so that my bank will release the
fund into your account as the next of kin to our bank deceased
customer for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming
for claims and we don’t want this money to go into the bank treasury.
In fact i know the fund will not even go into the bank treasury,but
our top bank officials(directors)will only share it among themselves
into their accounts.
The Banking law and guideline here in country stipulates that if any
customer account or property remains unserviceable or dormant,and
unclaimed after five years, the account will be confiscated and
transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned
by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and origin cannot stand
as next of kin to a foreigner.
We agree that 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner,in
respect to the provision of a foreign account,and your immense
contribution to champion the course of transferring the fund to your
account. 10 % will be set aside for expenses incurred by the both
party during the business and 60 % would be for me and my colleagues.
There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for
disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable my bank transfer the fund into your account,i will
send to you the text of application which you will send to my bank as
next of kin to the deceased customer and that will be when you
indicate your interest in the business, you must apply first to the
bank as relations or next of kin of our bank deceased indicating your
bank name, your bank account number,
your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective
communication and location where in the money will be remitted .
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the
text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice
that this transaction is risk-free and that you should not entertain
any atom of fear as all required information’s will be perfectly made
for you to champion the course of the transaction with my bank without
any hitch or risk .
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours sincerely,
MR ALI KERIA.
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER(BOA).
