Subject: PLEASE CONFIRM THIS URGENT LETTER
PLEASE CONFIRM THIS URGENT LETTER
to: f_oyen@post.cz
Dear Sir,
With due respect and huminity, This mail is intended for the receipent only.
Please contact the undersigned, if you are not the intended receipent or
you received it in error. I should have contacted you through surface mail
or courier service, but considering the urgency needed to conclude this
transaction, we decided to contact you by e-mail.
My colleagues and I, are members of the board of Management of City Trust
Bank. We discovered during our interim auditing of the central accounts
of our bank that some expatriates invested in treasury bills totalling US$15,600,000.00
(Fifteen Million, Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) since 1998.
The treasury bills are now matured and due for collection, but the depositors
can no longer be traced as most of them have departed from the contact address.Majority
of the depositors were involved in the air crash of 31stOctober 1999 involving
an Egytian airline plane 990 with other passengers onboard as you can confirm
from the website below:
www.cnn.com/us/9911/02/egyptair990.list/index.html
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next
of kin to come forward 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 and policies but unfortunately we
learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation can not be traced leaving
nobody behind for the claims. It is therefore upon this discovery that and
other my colleague now decided to make this businness proposal to you and
release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased
for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming forth and
we do not want the fund to get into the corrupt Government officials in
the nation, as the fund will be retired into the Bank treasury as an unclaimed
Bill.
According to our Banking policies and guideline here which stipulates that
if such money remained unclaimed after five years, the money will automatically
be transfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner
as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer
was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a
foreigner.
We agree that 35 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 5 % will be for
reimbursement of any expenses incured during the curse of the transaction
and 60 % would be for me and my colleagues. There after I and my colleagues
will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer of this fund to you as arranged,
you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased
indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone
and fax number for easier and effective communication and location where
the money will be remitted
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text
of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of
fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer . You
should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter. Trusting
to hear
from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
From Mr.Francis Oyen.
N/B.my intention of writing you through email is because i belive it is
very confidential.
Kindly Send copies of all CONFIRMATION to: f_oyen@post.cz
