BANQUE CENTRAL DU COTE D'IVOIRE

ATTN:
Dear Friend,
With due respect and humility I write to you this proposal.
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department
of Banque Central du Cote d'Iviore Abidjan . I am writing following the
impressive information about you through Ivoian Chamber of Commerce and
Industires of your capability and reliability to champion this business
opportunity.
In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of US$38.5m (Thirty Eight
Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars). In an account that belongs to
one of our foreign customer from Australia (Mr.Toney Hobson) who died along
with his entire family in november 2002 following the political crash in
the country.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next
of kin to come forward and claim his money because we cannot release it
unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased
as indicated in our banking guidelines and policies, but unfortunately we
learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with
him on the crash leaving nobody behind for the claims. It is therefore upon
this discovery that I and other officials in my department now decided to
make this businness proposal to you in order to release the money to you
as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent
disbursement since nobody is coming forth and we don,t want this money to
go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
According to our Banking policies and guideline here which stipulates that
if such money remained unclaimed after five years, the money will automatically
be transfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner
as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer
was a foreigner and an ivoirian cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner
here.
Based on this reason we are soliciting for your understanding and willingness
to stand as the next of kin to this funds. And We have agreed that 20% of
this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision
of a foreign accountand given an assistance to move this fund out of here,
10% will be for reimbursement of any expenses incured during the curse of
the transaction and 70 % would be for me and my colleagues. There after
I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement according to
the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer of this fund to you as arranged,you
must comply with us by forwarding all the stated information which shall
be used in obtaining all the legal documentation required in your name by
an attorney to legalize you lawfully and rightful beneficiary of the said
fund as next of kin to the deceased person.
The required information are as follows:
1, your full name and address
2, your nationality
3, your phone and fax numbers
4, your international passport or driving license.
All these shall be used in preparing all the legal document in your name.
Upon receipt of your reply, we shall proceed immediately to the table of
the attorney in order for him to proceed with the documents immediately.
Also, I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch
free, so you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements
have been made for the transfer. You should please contact me immediately
as soon as you receive this letter via my confidential email address: kazeem72@zwallet.com
for security reasons.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.Kazeem Mohammed
