My name is MR KUMAR BELLO, I am an Accountant with STARNDARD TRUST BANK
PLC I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank (Anthony O'Hamil
from the United States of America) 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 $18,000,000.00 USD. We wish to start the first
transfer with US$7,400,000,00.[7.4 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 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 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 you30% of the total transfer sum, 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.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 illegal
act.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 we
apply to the bank as the beneficiary of the fund from the deceased.
However, we shall meeet 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) Telephone & Fax numbers (2) Residential Contact address 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 KUMAR BELLO.
