STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
Dear friend,
I am Mr.DR. MUSTAPHA DIOP, credit officer of the BANK OF AFRICA DAKAR, SENEGAL. I have
a concealed business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war, our client Gen.Talfik Kubu who was with
the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18
calendar months, with a value of Forty Three Million, Six Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch.
Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even during the war.
Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came
from him. We later find out that the General and his family had been killed
during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Gen.Talfik Kubu
did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the
paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he
was at my office that no One except me knew of his deposit in my bank.
So, Forty Three Million,Six Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is
still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it.What
bothers me most is that according to the to the laws of my country, at the
expiration three years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Senegal
Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as
a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Gen.Talfik Kubu so that you
will be able to receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we
shall come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the
necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to
Gen.Talfik Kubu ,all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide
me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence
his job.After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file
in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter
of probate in your favour for the move of the funds to an account that will
be provided by you.There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going to adopt
a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary
documents.Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters
concerning this issue.
Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we
shall share in the ratio of 70% for me, 25% for you and 5%for any expenses
incurred during the course of this operation.
If you are interested please send me your private phone and fax
numbers for easy communication, you can write me via my private box
thus:(mustapha001@mail2world.com )
and i will provide you with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
DR MUSTAPHA DIOP
