FROM: MUSTAPHA IDIRIS.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT.
INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL BANK.
REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL OF
$10,500,000.00.
Dear Sir
I am Mustapha Idiris, the Director in charge of Auditing and Accounting section International
Commercial Bank in West Africa and also Chairman of Investigating and Auditing Department of this Bank.
With due respect and regard,I have decided to contact you on a BusinessTransaction that will be very beneficial to both of us and our families in future.During our Investigation and Auditing in this Bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to one Deceased Mrs.Sharon Fitzpatrick of Southold,New York America who died on October 31st
1999 with Egyptian Air line flight no 990 .You can as well confirm it by yourself through under stated Website of the incident.(http://www.greatdreams.com/plane990.htm)
Mrs.Sharon Fitzpatrick, a foreigner,As the fund has been dormant in her account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation because he did not indicate any next of kin to this account incase of death such as these. Although personally,I keep this information secret within myself and partners to enable the whole
plans and idea be profitable and successful during the time of execution.
The said amount is U.S $10.5 m (Ten Million five hundred thousand United States Dollars).As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through one of my good friends who works with Chamber of Commerce on foreign business relations here in Lome-Togo though I did not disclose the deal to him. Meanwhile as a Senior Staff in this bank,and the Director of Auditing and Accounting,I have in my possession all the necessary documents to perfect this deal by making you the bonafide next of kin/Partner whom this money will be transferred into his/her account.
I need your assistance and co-operation to get this deal done. Because as a foreigner,you stand a better position to be presented through documentation as the next of kin/Partner since the deceased is also a foreigner,this is the reason why I could not do this deal alone as a Togolaise and a Blackman as well. I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is
100% risk free.On smooth conclusion of this transaction,you will be entitled to 30% of the total
sum as gratification,while 5% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills,while 60% will be for me and my partners.
Please,you have been advised to keep this "Top Secret"as we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you.And I assure you that this transaction will not last more than 14 working days and you confirm the money in your account.I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your
account.And ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment,either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in.
All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from you.I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal.I am expecting your urgent reply as soon as you receive this message.
Please send your response through my alternative email addresses below for security
