ENDEAVOUR TO CONTACT ME FOR THIS TRANSACTION
Good day to you,
It is my pleasure to contact you after my satisfactory appraisal and acceptance
of your proven track records. My name is ABEL CHENYI the Chief of foreign
Exchange in charged of auditing and accounting section of Union Bank of
Cameroon in West Africa, and also a special account officer of Mr KABONGO
NGOY ALPHONSE from the Republic of Congo. He was a Seasoned Contractor
with the Cameroon Cement Company in The Republic of Cameroon. He unfortunately
died in the plane crash of Air Kasai Antonov An-2 on the 9th of September
2005 in the Congo Republic.
Before he died on the 9th of September 2005, Mr KABONGO NGOY ALPHONSE had
a fixed deposit account valued at US $ 12.5 million with my bank and no
other person knew about this account or anything concerning it. The account
has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me that his supposed
next of kin died along with him in the crash. This account was not included
in an inventory list of property belonging to the late KABONGO NGOY ALPHONSE.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of his extended
relatives and this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful
attempts, I decided to get the deposited amount removed and lodged with
a security company here to be moved abroad to avoid any trace of the fund
and also to prevent the bank from declaring the account as abandoned to
the monetary authorities of the Republic of Cameroon that will lead to
confiscation of the fund.
I contacted you to assist me in securing the fund deposited with this security
company, since I have been unsuccessful in locating his relatives for over
6 months now. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of
the deceased so that the security company can release this fund to you
for our mutual benefit. I am willing to offer you 30% of the total amount
for helping to secure the funds in your country or any other safe country
before I can meet with you for disbursement.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim
we may make to get the funds. All I require from you is your honest co-operation
to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of
the law. All documents of transaction will be destroyed immediately we
receive this money leaving no trace to any place. If this proposal is acceptable
to you, contact me using my email address below so that we can commence
the process of actualizing this transaction within a shortest possible
time
Sincerely,
Mr. ABEL CHENYI.
