Subject: I Need Your Co-Operation
Dr.{Sir}John Adams{bank manager}
from reputable bank here in Africa
Greeting to you ,
I am contacting you with the hope of having a private and confidential business
with you. I am writing you asking for your assistance in the transfer of USD.
27.8M (Twenty Seven Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars). Before I go ahead
with my request I will like to inform you that I loved if could meet to discuss
this transaction in person due to its magnitude, I am taking this urgent move
in order to make an acquaintance with you prior to the time I will be due for
an official assignment in America and Europe But first I will like to put in
the light of this transaction.
Close to the end of 2001 my bank decided to take a major step by changing the
policy of all its branches due to the merger with another bank. Hence due to
the change in policies and top management it became necessary for some majors
customers to determine their positions with the bank. Due to the large amount
involved, some of the foreign customer who believed that that new policy would
not benefit them found it hard to transfer their funds as result of procedures
involved and limited time.
A foreign customer approached me in confidence and asked for my assistance in
the transfer of his funds, which I agreed to. I offered my assistance in the
little way I could and I gave him some recommendation. Apparently the fund was
moved from my bank shortly after this time. To my surprise I did not hear from
him afterwards, which really was not what I expected, to more of my surprise I
was contacted by the financial institution I recommended him to late last year
that he has not come to finalize its transaction.
After proper investigation I discovered that he was involved in an auto
accident that took is life. And the deceased customer did not have on records
with the bank any close relation. Prior to this discovery, I was compelled to
assume responsibility for monitoring this fund, which is quite difficult for me
due to my position in my bank.
My proposal to you is for us to conclude this transaction together, as I cannot
claim this fund by myself. I am ready to share it at ratio 70:30, 70% for me
and 30% for you. I will like to assure you that this transaction is risk free,
but privacy is required and cannot be compromised. Please send to me your
private phone number and fax, so I can give you more details
I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me .
Regards,
Dr.{Sir}John Adams
