Subject: GREAT DEAL...RESPOND URGENTLY!!!
Hello,
Good day and Compliments,I am writing this letter in confidence believing
that if it is the wish of God for you to help me,God almighty will bless
and reward you aboundantly and you would never regret this.
I am MR.SALAM USMAN,the director in charge of auditing and accounting section
of International Bank Of Africa (IBA) Ouagadougou Burkina-faso West Africa
with due
respect and regard.I have decided to contact you on a business transaction
that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end.I came across a very
huge sum of money belonging to MR.BUD STEWART,who died on 10th of May,2001
in a Car Crash with his wife-TESSA,and his only two children-CHUCK and CLARK,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.
The said amount was US$5.2M (Five Million Two Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars).Honestly,after this man died with his family my Bank (iba) searched
for his next of kin to come and claim his money but they were no where to
be found.Infact,nobody came up to
claim the fund.
I in my department,have decided to look for a trusted foreign partner who
can stand in as the next of kin to the deceased and claim this money,as
well as providing Bank account for the remittance of the fund.As it may
interest you to know,I got your Contact through your
Country Email Directory on Internet.
Please don't say that you did not relate to the deceased because not relating
to him makes no meaning,You must not be a blood relation before you become
next of kin to somebody.All though i know that a transaction of this magnitude
will make any one apprehensive and worried,but i am assuring you that all
will be well at the end of the day.
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 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 me and also benefit your self to this GREAT BUSINESS
OPPORTUNITY.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in
this country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate
a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during
the time of transfer because I work in this bank.
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 and 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.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free.On
smooth conclusion of this
transaction,i have agreed that 40% of the money will be for you for your
assistance and 60% will be for me.Any expenses that may likely to arise
during the time of transfer of this fund into your account- we will paid
it together.So,if you are Capable to handle this Transaction,indicate your
interest by replying this letter with a PROMISE that you won't BETRAY me
when the fund arrives your account.Once I receive your urgent reply,I will
send you more DETAILS and TEXT OF APPLICATION which your will fill with
your personal datas and submit to my Bank as the real next of kin to MR.BUD
STEWART.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm
the Fund in your account successfully,and ask me 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 may even
advice.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME ON 00226-76-55-61-45 FOR
MORE CLARIFICATIONS ON THIS ISSUES!!!
Thanks for your anticipated assistance.
Yours faithfully,
MR.SALAM USMAN.
