Attn: President/C.E.O
REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL OF $25.5MILLION DOLLARS.
Dear Sir,
I am Mr Brown Cole, the Director in charge of Auditing and Accounting
section ZENITH BANK INTERNATIONAL PLC, in West Africa and also Chairman
of Investigating and Auditing Department of this Bank. With due respect
and regard, I have decided to contact you on a BusinessTransaction that
will be very beneficial to both of us and our families in future.
During our Investigation and Auditing in this Bank, my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to one Deceased Mrs. Sharon Williams
of Southold, New York America who died on October 31st 1999 with Egyptian
Air line flight no 990 .You can as well confirm it by yourself through under
stated Website of the
incident.(www.cnn.com/us/9911/02/egyptair990.list/index.html)
Mrs. Sharon Williams, a foreigner, As the fund has been dormant in her
account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either
from his family or relation because he did not indicate any next of kin
to this account incase of death such as these. Although personally, I keep
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 is U.S $25.5millon Dollars. As it may interest you to know,
I got your impressive information through one of my good friends who works
with Chamber of Commerce on foreign business relations here in Abuja-Nigeria
though I did not disclose the deal to him. Meanwhile as a Senior Staff in
this bank, and the Director of Auditing and Accounting, I have in my possession
all the necessary documents to perfect this deal by making you the bonafide
Next Of Kin/Partner whom this money will be transferred into your account.
I need your assistance and co-operation to get this deal done. Because
as a foreigner, you stand a better position to be presented through documentation
as the next of kin/Partner since the deceased is also a foreigner, this
is the reason why I could not do this deal alone as a Nigerian and as a
Blackman as well. I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is
100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled
to 35% of the total sum as gratification, while 5% will be set aside to
take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also
telephone bills, while 60 will be for me and my partners.
Please, you have been advised to keep this "Top Secret" as we are still
in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal
with you. And I assure you that this transaction will not last more than
10 working days and you confirm the money in your account. I will be monitoring
the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your
account. And ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing
of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment,
either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in.
All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from
you. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish
in this deal. I am expecting your urgent reply as soon as you receive this
message. Send your mesage to this
E-mail:<brown_cole123@yahoo.com>
Regards,
Mr Brown Cole (Banker)
The Director of Auditing and Accounting.
