I NEED YOUR HELP:
PLEASE SEND YOUR REPLY TO: jmaree_1999ceo@mighty.co.za
Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not a
hoax mail and I want you to treat it serious. My name is Mr. Maree Jacko;
I am the C.E.O of Standard Bank of Senegal, here in Dakar, Senegal.I am writing
in respect of a foreign customer of my bank, MR. ANDREAS SCRANNER who perished
with his entire family on the 25th July,2000 CONCORDE plane crash [Flight
AF4590] along with the
whole passengers aboard. For further detail visit;
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm.There is an account opened
in this bank by this great late diamond and oil magnet who died without
a written or oral WILL attached to the account. Since his death I have personally
watched to see his next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has
come to claim his funds and my investigation shows that no other person knows
about this account or anything concerning it. The account has no other beneficiary
and until his death he was the manager of his company. I therefore request
for your assistance to help me move this fund out of the country for unweard
investment. All I need from you is your honest cooperation to make this deal
work out as planned. I also need you to send me your account information
where you would want the fund to be transfered; it can be an empty account
or you can creat a virgin account without any money in it provided it can
receive this fund.
The total amount involved is US$31,823,000.00 USD[Thirty one million eight
hundred and twenty three thousand United States Dollars] but we wish to start
the first transfer with $10,000,000.00[ten million].Upon successful transaction
without any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the transfer
of the remaining balance to your account.
I have secretly discussed this matter with the operational manager in account
management section who is incharge of credit and foreign bills of the bank
whom I must involve in order to have a smooth and a
successful transfer of the fund to any foreign bank account which you are
going to nominate. On this note,I want you to act as the foreign beneficiary
of the fund from the deceased by providing your bank account where the fund
will be transferred for immediate investment on any viable project.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than 4 years
without claim hence the money will be recalled to the government treasury
as unclaimed after this long period of domancy. I therefore contacted you
because the banking ethics here in Senegal ,Dakar does not equally permit
us, the bank management to approve the money to an indiginous name or into
a local account but we can only approve it to a foreigner who has good information
to the deceased dormant accountwhich I will provide to you on your positive
response.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you a detailed information
about the transaction. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
business is 100% risk and trouble free and that you should not entertain
any fear as all modalities for fund transfer
can be finalized within 7 to 9 banking days after we apply to the bank on
your behalf as the beneficiary of the fund from the deceased. I will on receipt
of your positive response, send you an application for the release of the
fund which you will mail to the bank for the bank management to start the
immediate processing of the fund for transfer to your account.
At the conclussion of the transfer 55% of the fund will be for us, we will
give you 30% of the total transfer sum, 10% for charity both in Senegal Dakar
and in your country while the remaining 5% will be set
aside to settle expenses both parties might incure during the transfer process.
PLEASE, THE CONTENT OF THIS LETTER IS A TOP SECRET AND I WILL WANT YOU TO
KEEP IT TO YOURSELF ONLY. Do send me your reply to my secure private email:
jmaree_1999ceo@mighty.co.za
You should also include your private phone numbers for easy and safe communication.
Sincerely yours,
Mr. Maree Jacko
