FROM THE DESCK OF
MR.KAZEEM MOHAMED
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT
BANK CENTRAL OF COTE D'IVOIRE
(BICICI) ABIDJAN.
Dearest,
I am Mr. Kazeem Mohamed, the director in charge of auditing and accounting section in the BANK CENTRAL OF COTE D'IVOIRE of west Africa.
With due respect and regards.we have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person, one Mr (Tony Hobson) who is dead, following the attack of the Rebels in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire in 2002, and the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.
Personally, I kept this information secret within myself and partners to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of execution. The said amount was us$38.5M (Thirty Eight Million, Five Hundred Thousand United State of American Dollars) Meanwhile, all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer of this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us, as well benefit your self to this great opportunity.
In fact, we could have done this deal alone but because of our position in this country as civil servants, we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye blow on my side during the time of transfer because we work in the same bank too. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to the Bank also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.
May we at this point emphasize that this transaction is 100% risk free as we have made every arrangements for a successful deal before contacting you. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 20% of the sum as gratification, while 5% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer, which will be deducted as soon as the funds gets into your account while 75% will be for me and my partners.
Please, you have been advised to keep top secret and confidentiality of this transaction as we are still in service and intend to retire from service as soon as you confirm the fund with the correspondent bank oversea in your name. We will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your bank account and ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the funds according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country of our choice. All other necessary information will be sent to you when we heard from you.
We suggest you get back to us as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal.
Thanks and God bless,
Mr.Kazeem Mohamed/co
