Dear Friend,
This letter might surprise you because; we have not met neither in person
nor by correspondence. But I believe it is one day that you get to knowsomebody
either in physical or through correspondence.
I am Mr Koffi John.the director in charge of auditing and accounting section
of Bank in Abidjan Ivory Coast in West Africa with due respect and regard.I
have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very
beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction . During our investigation
and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of
money belonging to a deceased person who died on November
1st 1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with
this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family
or relation before our discovery to this development.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and partners
to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the
time of execution. The said amount was (U.S $28M UNITED STATES DOLLARS),As
it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through my
good friends who works with chamber of commerce on foreign business relations
here in Abidjan Ivory Coast .
It is him who recommended your person to me to be viable and capable to
champion a business of such magnitude without any problem. Meanwhile all
the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of
kin to the deceased, get the
required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been
put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you
as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also
benefit your self to this great business opportunity. In fact I could have
done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civi
servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a foreign account an would
eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because
I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second
party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit
of trust of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he
will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be
after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of
the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designation
bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk
free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to
30% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take
care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone
bills, while 60% will be
for me and my partners. Please, you have been adviced to keep 'top secret'as
we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude
this deal with you. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this
bank until you confirm the money in your account. and ask us to come down
to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according
to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your
country or any country you advice us to invest in. All other necessary vital
information will be sent to you when I hear from you.
I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this
deal.
Regards,
Koffi John.
