FROM MR.OMABALA JOHNSON,
DIRECTOR OF FINANCE,
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT,
UNION BANK OF AFRICA,
COTONOU-BENIN REPBLIC.
THIS IS MY PRAVENT E-MAIL BOX johnson_cala@yahoo.de My name is Mr.Omabala
Johnson, I am the DIRECTOR AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT, UNION BANK OF
AFRICA,HERE IN COTONOU-BENIN REPBLIC. I am contacting you of a business
transfer, of a huge sum of money from a deceased account. Though I know that
a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried,
but I am assuring you that everything has been taken care off, and all will
be well at the end of the day. I decided to contact you due to the urgency
of this transaction.
PROPOSITION; I am the account officer of a foreigner named Gerald Welsh who
died in an air crash along with his wife on the 31st October 1999 in an
Egyptian airline 990 with other passengers on board. You can confirm this
from the website below which was published by BBC WORLD NEWS. WEBSITE.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm Since his death, none
of his next-of-kin are alive to make claims for this money as his heir,
because they all died in the same accident himself and his wife(May their
soul rest in peace). We cannot release the fund from his account unless
someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in
our banking guidelines.
Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next
of kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be carefully worked out
by me for the funds (USD 13,000,000.00) to be released in your favor as the
beneficiary's next of kin. Because after four years the money will be called
back to the bank treasury as unclaimed bills and the money shared amongst
the directors of the bank.
So it is on this note i decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as
the next of kin/beneficiary to this funds rather than allow the bank
directors to share this money amongst themselves at the end of the year.It
may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate an order of
mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries. Please acknowledge
receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavor by
furnishing me with the following information if you are interested.
1.A Beneficiary name. In order for me to prepare the document for transfer
of the funds in your name.
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers. For our personal contact and mutual
trust in each other.
I shall be compensating you with million dollars ( 4 Million Dollars) on
final conclusion of this project for your assistance, while the balance of 9
Million Dollars shall be for me for investment purposes. Because I intend to
retire after the conclusion of this transaction.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, please endeavor to contact me
immediately. Do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in
you, I await your urgent reply. to this address:
johnson_cala@yahoo.de
Regards,
Mr. Mr.Omabala Johnson
