Dearest Beloved,
I am Dr.Eric Morgan
an account officer with Bridge Bank Group De L' Ouest Cote D' Ivoire. I am
writing following an opportunity in my department here in the bank that will
be of immense benefit to both of us.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $35 million united
states dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer
the Late Mr Smith B.Andrea an American oil engineer with Petro Technical
Services Sarl who unfortunately lost his life in the plane
crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31 2000,
including his wife. You
read more on the crash on visiting this Site.
http://www.cnn.com/2000US/02/01/alaska.
airlines.list/smith.html. Since we got information about his death, we have
been expecting his next of kin or relatives to come over and claim his money
because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin
or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately I learnt that his supposed next of kin being his wife [Patty
Andrea] died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the
knowledge of this fund behind for the claim. *
*It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make business
with you and release the money to you as the next of kin or beneficiary of
the funds for safety keeping and subsequent disbursement since nobody is
coming for it and we don't want this money to go back into Government
treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such money remained
after six and half years, the money will then be transferred into Government
treasury as unclaimed funds. I agree that 30% of this money will be for you
as the foreign partner, while the balance will be for me. I will visit your
country for the disbursement according to the percentages indicated above
once this money gets into your account.
Please be honest to me and trust is our watchword in this transaction. Note
this transaction is confidential and risk free. As soon as you receive this
mail you should contact me by return mail.Please note that all necessary
arrangement for the smooth release of these funds to your yet to be provided
account has been finalised. We will discuss much in details when I do
receive your response. Please in your response include your telephone
number for easy communication between us.
Best Regards,
Dr Eric Morgan.
