FROM THE DESK OF DR.PHILLIP KABORE
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER.
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
BANQUE DEVELOPPEMENT DU
AFRICAINE-ADB ANNEXE.REPUBLIC
OF BENIN-COTONOU.
GOOD DAY.
I am DR.PHILLIP KABORE the Manager in charge of BILL AND EXCHANGE DEPT
UNIT of BANQUE DEVELOPPEMENT DU AFRICAINE-ADB ANNEXE. COTONOU-REPUBLIC
OF BENIN with due respect and regard.
I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be
beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.
During our investigations and Accounting auditing in this bank, my
department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased
person who died with his entire family on FEBRUARY 14,2002 in an AUTO
CRASH along BURKINA FASO/LOME-TOGO EXPRESS WAY in WEST AFRICA and the
fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of
the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our
discovery to this development.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself to
enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the
time of execution.
The said amount was us$14M (Fourteen million united states dollars).
As it may interest you to know, I got your contact informations through
south african network online programme and after i prayed for GOD'S
devine mercies,i decided to contact you over this enterpresing
transcation that both of us must benefits from this business of such
magnitude without any problem.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangements to put claim over this fund as the
bonafide next of kin to the deceased,get the required approval and
transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place ,futher
directives and needed informations will be relayed to you as soon as you
indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and also benefit
your self to this great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my posi tion in
this country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a
foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during
the time of transfer because I work in this bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow
who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of
oath to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need
the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after
due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the
bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own esignation
bank account.
May I at this point emphasize that this transaction is 100% risk free as
I have made arrangements for a successful deal before contacting you.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 25% of
the total sum as gratifications,while 5% will be set aside to take care
of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also
telephone bills, while 70% will be for me .
Please, you have been adviced to keep top secret as i'm still in service
and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situations here in this bank until you
confirm the money in your account and ask my entire family and me to
come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according
to percentages previously indicated and further investments, either in
your country or any country you advice us to invest in.
All other necessary informations will be sent to you when I hear from
you.
I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible via telephone and also
through this email,stating your wish in this deal.
Yours Faithfully.
DR.PHILLIP KABORE
