Urgent Request.
Please kindly Reply me with This E-mail:koffimonana_30@hotmail.com
Safe Trust security and finance co.
From Mr. Edem Komla.
Attn: Sir/Madam.
My Name is Mr. Edem Komla. I am the Manager of Safe Trust Security and Finanace Co,Based in Afica . I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.On December 8, 1999, an Egyptian Oil consultant/contractor with the chevron oil Corporation, Alhaji hesham. made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$10.6,000,000.00(TEN Million, Six Hundred thousand Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, that Alhaji hesham. died from a ghastly automobile accident.
However, On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Alhaji hesham. did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents, including her Security Deposit paperwork in our security and finance co. This sum of US$10.6,000,000.00 is still sitting in our security and finance co, and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each
year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to the Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies to claim this fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Alhaji hesham. so that the fruits of this man's labuor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits which will put you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the services of two Attorneys for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/ administration in your favour for the transfer. We would need you as a Foreigner acting as the next of kin and sole benefactor to the inheritance of Alhaji hesham. to travel and claim this money through our Security COMPANY based in Afica Or Through our coresponding Bank which is used by our security and finance co, as an offshore Bank. The money will be paid to you for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 30% for you then 10% for any expensee that may come up. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and my position as the Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply
Thanks and regards.
Mr. Mr. Edem Komla
