Subject: CAN WE DO THIS
Compliment of day.
My name is Mr. Jumbo Williams, a consulting auditor with one of the prime banks
here in Africa. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my client
bank who perished with his whole family on in CONCORDE PLANE CRASH [Flight
AF4590] with the whole passengers on board.
During the course of my auditing work with my client bank, I discovered an
account opened in the bank in 1980 by this great late geologist who died
without a written or oral 'WILL' attached to the account. Since his death, I
further investigated with keen interest to see if I can get any relative of the
late geologist but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his
funds and no other person knows about this account or anything concerning it.
The account has no other
beneficiary. Until his death, he was the Manager of his company.
On this note, I decided to seek for a reliable foreigner who will act as the
foreign beneficiary of the fund from the deceased by providing his/her bank
account where the fund will be transferred.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than six years
without claim hence the money will be recalled to the government treasury as
unclaimed after this long period of dormancy. In view of this, I got your
contact through my personal search to see if you can assist by providing your
safe bank account for the transfer or find a reliable person who will be
capable of receiving such amount in his or her personal account.
The total amount involved is $60,000,000.00 USD [Sixty Million United States
Dollar]. We wish to start the first transfer with $26,000,000.00 [Twenty six
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.
At the conclusion of the transfer, 60% of the fund will be for me. I will give
you 30% of the total transfer sum, 5% 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.
I look forward in hearing from you through this e-mail or jumbo_wllm1@sify.com
I am waiting.
Yours truly,
Jumbo Williams
