Dear ONE,
I am MR ABDUL MOHAMMED A Banker in Dakar Senegal. I got your contact through a friend who attended a trade mission in your country, but I did not disclose the nature of the business to him.I have urgent and very confidential business proposal for you.
On June 6, 1999, an American contractor, Ms. Dorothy Foth, Dana Point, California made a numbered time (fixeddeposit for twelve calendar months, valued at ($15.2M) fiften million two hundred thousand U.S Dollars only.in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month, I sent a reminder and finally discovered from someone who introduced him to me that Ms. Dorothy Foth died in the plane crash of 31st October 1999 involving Egyptian 990 with other passengers aboard as you can confirm it yourself via the website below:
www.cnn.com/us/9911/02/egyptair990.list/index.html
On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and attempts to trace her next of kin was fruitless. I, therefore, made further investigations and discovered that Ms. Dorothy Foth did not declare any next of kin or relations in all her official documents, including her bank deposit documents in our bank. This sum of US$15.200 000 is still in our bank and the interest is being rolled over with the pricinpal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Senegalaise law, at the expiration of (five)years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Senegalaise Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Ms. Dorothy Foth so that the fruit of this old woman labour will not get into the hands of Government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full name and address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits which will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the service of two attorney for the drafting and notarization of the WILL and obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favour for the transfer. Any bank account in any part of the world which you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in ratio of
80% for me and 20% for you. There is no risk at all, the documentations
for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the
Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address below,upon your response, I shall provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assitance to invest my share in your country.
