Subject: Hello,Trusstee wanted.
Hello,
Merry x-mas in advance and i wish you a great holiday and good tidings, well it is with trust and confidence that i make this urgent core strategic investment response
and important proposal to you in view of the fact that you are trust worthy and reliable as i got to know from my sources.
The proposal
I work with the African development bank group. However, there is an account that was opened in the bank in year 1990 and since the year 2001, nobody has operated
this account again. After carefull investigation, i discovered that the owner of this account was a staff of Empresa Nacionais de Diamantes de Angola, a foreigner who died
in the Year 2001 while on contract in angola.the account has no beneficiary at present and investigations has proved that his employers, Empresa Nacionais de
Diamantes de Angola does not know anything about the account, the total amount up to date now is 10.5million pounds sterling (ten million five hundred thousand pounds
sterling only).
In light of the above fact, i need your assistance to move this money out of the country. I need you to apply for the claim of the money as his next of kin by providing any
account of your Choice where this fund will be remitted only if you are capable to conclude this transaction with me.
Now that the management of the bank has ordered that all dormant account will be frozen. On the strength of this order, I wish to take advantage of this situation and
present you as beneficiary and get it transferred to your designated account.
Be informed that i will be a partner with you through out this transaction. Furthermore, once the money Gets into your account, I would apply for annual leave for our
face-to-face meeting in your country for the sharing. I will give you 50% of the total fund, which is for your assistance and i will not contact any other person until i am
convinced that you are not interested.
Also i would like to point out that as a banker I know that transactions like this would involve us incurring some expenses in the process of transferring the money, but do
not worry we would both share any expense that comes up and all expenses incurred by both parties would be deducted and refunded before we now share the total
money: ie the 10.5 million pounds.I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free.
Please you are advised to keep this as top secret as I am still in service and. Intend to retire from service after i conclude this deal with you. I will be monitoring the whole
situation here in the bank until you confirm the money in your account.
Please i believe you have read this dutifully so, if you are interested and ready to undertake this business with me and improve on both our life's because i need your help to
see this through,then contact me back urgently,kindly direct your response to my private email below:
