Dear Friend,
My name is Mr.Christ Bello, I am an Accountant with Standard Trust Bank
Plc. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank (Anthony O'Hamil
from your country) who had a plane crash and died (NOT MARRIED) on 25TH
JULY,2000 CONCORDE PLANE CRASH [ Flight AF4590] with the whole passengers
aboard,see below Website for more information about the plane crash.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
There is an account opened in this bank in 2000 by this great late INDUSTRIALIST/FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR who died without a written or oral WILL attatched
to the account. Since his death ,I personally have watched with keen interest
to see the next of kin 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 and until his death
he was the manager of his company. The total amount involved is $6,000,000.00
(USD).
We wish to start the first transfer with $4,400,000,00.[4.4million] 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 General Manager of my 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 nominate.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 into 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 six
years without claim hence the money will be recalled to the government treasury
as unclaimed after this long period of domancy. In view of this, I got your
contact through my personal search to see if you can assist me 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.
At the conclussion of the transfer, 65% of the fund will be for us here,we
would 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.
TO PROCEED,
I would like you to send me the information of any account of your choice
where you will like this fund to be transferred into or open a new account
where you will want this money to be transfered into.This transaction is
totally free of risk and trouble as the fund is a legitimate fund which
does not originate from drug,money laundry, terrorism or any other illegalact.
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 7to
9 banking days, after we apply to the bank as the beneficiary of the fund
from the deceased.
However, we shall meet in your country three bank working days to discuss
what capital venture to invest the fund into in your country with your Technical-knowhow.
Please do include the following information in your response to this partnership
Idea:
(1)Full Name
(2) Telephone & Fax numbers
(3) Residential Contact address
(4)Occupation/marital status
Please endeavour to reply me via my alternative email address(mrchrist_bello@yahoo.com.br
)
With the above information about your person I shall ask the legal advisor
of the bank to prepare the documentation in your name as the bonafide owner
of the fund.
Best Regards.
Mr.Christ Bello.
