TRANSFER OF FUND
From: Mr meroyi
I humbly wish to seek your assistance in this matter which is very
important and needs trust and understanding.
I am Mr meroyi, operational Director in the account management section
incharge of credit and foreign bills of one of the prime banks here in
my country . I am
writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank who perished on
EGYPTIAN
Boeing 737 PLANE CRASH into the red sea with the whole
passengersaboard.
There is an account opened in this bank by this great industralist
and
this fund is place in our bank without a written or oral WILL
attatched to the account. Since his death, I have been watching with
keen
interest to see his next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one
has
come to claim his funds.To my knowledge,the account has no other
beneficiary .
The total amount involved is 48,223,000.00 USD.[ Forty eight million
two hundred and twenty three thousand United States Dollar ]. We wish
to
start the first transfer with $8,000,000.00[Eight million] and upon
successful
transaction without any disappointment from your side, we shall
re-apply for the
transfer of the remaining balance to your account.
I have secretly discussed this matter with the manager of the bank
who
I must involve in order to have a smooth and a successful transfer of
the fund to any foreign bank account which you are going to provide.
On
this note,I want you to act as the foreign beneficiary of the fund
from
the
deceased by providing your bank account where the fund will be
transferred for
immediate investment on any viable project as no one has come up to be
the
next of kin.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than 2
years without claim hence the money will be recalled to the government
treasury as unclaimed after this long period of domancy.
At the conclussion of the transfer 65% of the fund will be for me, I
will give you 20% of the total transfer sum, 10% for charity both in
Africa and in your country while the remaining 5% will be set aside to
settle
expenses both parties might incure during the transfer process.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you a detailed
information about the transaction.I will not fail to bring to your
notice that
this business is 100% risk and trouble free and that you should not
entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be
finalized
within
7 to 9 banking days, after you apply to the bank as the beneficiary
of
the fund from
the deceased.
When you receive this letter. Kindly send me an e-mail me.
Respectfully yours,
Mr Meroyi
