STRICTLY A PRIVATE BUSINESS PROPOSAL
I am Dr.Mark Kuku,a manager in the Bills and Exchange at
theForeign Remittance Department of the
ECO INTERNATIONAL BANK I am writing this letter to ask
for your support and cooperation to carry out this
business opportunity in my department. We discovered
an abandoned sum of$15,000,000.00 (Fifteen million
United States Dollars only) in an account that belongs
to one of our foreign customers who died along with
his entire family of a wife and two children in
November 1997 in a Plane crash.Since we heard of his
death, we have
been expecting his next-of-kin to come over and put
claims for his money as the heir,because we cannot
release the fund from his account unless someone
applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased
as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately, neither their family member nor distant
relative has everappeared to claim the said fund. Upon
this discovery, I and other officials in my department
have agreed to make business with you and relea!se the
total amount into your account as the heir of the fund
since no one came for it or discovered he maintained
account with our bank,otherwise the fund will be returned
to the banks treasury as unclaimed fund.
We have agreed that our ratio of sharing will be as
stated thus;20 % for you as foreign partner,75 % for
us the officials in my department and 5 % for the
settlement of alllocal and foreign expences incurred
by us and you during the course of this business.Upon
the successful completion of this transfer, I and one
of my colleagues will come to your country and mind our
share. It is from our 75 % we intend to import Agricultural
Machineries into my country as a way of recycling the
fund.
To commence this transaction,we require you to immediately
indicate your interest by a return e-mail and enclose your
private contact telephone number, fax number full name and
address and your designated bank coordinates to enable us
file letter of claim to the appropriate departments for
necessary approvals before the transfer can be made.
Note also, this transaction must be kept STRICTLY
CONFIDENTIAL because of its nature.I look forward to
receiving your prompt response Via my alternative e-mail
address kukumark@nyc.com
Regards,
Dr.Mark Kuku.
