Subject: I Need Your Help
TRANSFER OF FUND
From:Mr Meroyi
I humbly wish to seek your assistance in this matter which is very important
and needs trust and understanding.
I am Mr Meroyi, operational Director in the account management section incharge
of credit and
foreign bills of one of the prime banks here in my country . I am writing
in respect of a foreign customer of my bank who perished on EGYPTIAN Boeing
737 PLANE CRASH into the red sea with the whole passengersaboard.
There is an account opened in this bank by this great industralist and
this fund is place in our bank without a written or oral WILL attatched
to the account. Since his death, I have been watching with keen interest
to see his next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to
claim his funds.To my knowledge,the account has no other beneficiary .
The total amount involved is 48,223,000.00 USD.[ Forty eight million two
hundred and twenty three thousand United States Dollar ]. We wish to start
the first transfer with $8,000,000.00[Eight million] and upon successful
transaction without any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply
for the transfer of the remaining balance to your account.
I have secretly discussed this matter with the manager of the bank who I
must involve in order to
have a smooth and a successful transfer of the fund to any foreign bank
account which you are going to
provide. On this note, I want you to act as the foreign beneficiary of the
fund from the deceased by
providing your bank account where the fund will be transferred for immediate
investment on any viable project as no one has come up to be the next of
kin.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than 2 years
without claim hence the money will be recalled to the government treasury
as unclaimed after this long period of domancy.
At the conclussion of the transfer 65% of the fund will be for me, I will
give you 20% of the total transfer sum, 10% for charity both in Africa and
in your country while the remaining 5% will be set aside to settle expenses
both parties might incure during the transfer process.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you a detailed information
about the transaction.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
business is 100% risk and trouble free and that you should not entertain
any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within 7 to
9 banking days, after you apply to the bank as the beneficiary of the fund
from the deceased.
When you receive this letter. Kindly send me an e-mail me.
Respectfully yours,
Mr Meroyi
