Dr. Malik Musa ALIYASHI,

African Development Bank (ADB)
Dakar Senegal.
With due respect I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be beneficial to both of us.
At the bank's last accounts/auditing evaluations, I came across an old
account, which was being maintained by a foreign client who was among
the passengers of an airline crash in 1999. (MR Andreas Schranner) a German nationality who died alongside his supposed next of kin in an air crash on the 31 of July, 1999. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm <javascript:ol('http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm');>.
So, since the deceased was unable to run this account as a result of
his death, the account has remained dormant without the knowledge of his
family since the client put it in a safe deposit account in the bank
for future investment. Since his demise, nobody, not even the members of
his family have applied for the claim of this fund, and it has been in
the safe deposit account until I discovered that it cannot be claimed
since our client is a foreign national and we are sure that he has no
next of kin here to file claims over the money. As the managing director
of the dept, I humbly solicit your immediate assistance to transfer
this money out of the bank. The total amount in the account is (Twenty
Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only) USD$20,500.000.
With my position as the manager bill and exchange dept of the bank, I am handicapped because the present code of conduct act of the bank makes it an offence for me to operate foreign account and cannot lay bonafide claim over this and out of the country. Once you indicate your good intention to
have this fund in your account, I bring the deceased file before the desk
of all the Executive Directors of the Bank, so as to identify you as
the through Next Of Kin to the deceased.
A friend of mine from the Overseas Chamber of Commerce industry
recommended your personality to me and advised I should ask you for help, to transfer this money out of the country. The client is a foreign national
and you will only be asked to act as his next of kin and i will supply
you with all the necessary information's and bank data's to assist you
withstand the eligibility in transferring this money to your bank
account or any safe place of your choice where this money can be successfully transferred to.
For your assistance, 20% of the total amount will be for your effort.
Lastly, I urge you to keep this transaction strictly confidential for
our security reasons while I hope to retire with my own share of this
money at the end of the successful transfer of this fund to your
designated bank account in your country. I assure you that this transaction is absolutely risk free since I work in this bank, that is why you should
be confident in the success of this transaction because you will be
updated with information as at when desired.
Feel free to contact me through my e-mail address.
Thanks and remain blessed.
Dr Malik Musa ALIYASHI.
