TRANSFER OF USD $35.9M
Private/Confidential.
Attn: Managing Director.
Deear Friend,
I am Dr. Rex Michel ,The head of auditing and accounting department of
Pan-African development finance institution established in 1964 to
foster economic growth and social progress in Africa.
It is my humble wish to bring to your notice a transaction which I
consider most strictly confidential and I will like to let you know
that I have made series of enquiry on this issue.
To start with, may I solicit your trust worthiness and confidence on
this issue, for the nature of it and my position in the Pan-African
development finance institution established in 1964 to foster economic
growth and social progress in Africa, it is unlawful to expose any
account owner customer banking information to a third party, but
for business sake, let it be a secret between both of us.
I was made the head of auditing and accounting in the year 1995,in that
same year, I carried out a general auditing, then I discovered that
there was an account opened in this bank in 1991.After going
through some old files in the records, I went further to
investigate this account, it was then that I realise that the owner
of this account Mr.Haward Crawford a Belgium national, who died
some years ago, unknown to the relatives that such account is still
existing.
My investigation proved to me that no other person knows about this
account or any thing concerning it, as well as the account has no
trace of other beneficiary.
In 1995, this account contained the sum of $8.3million, but in 1998,I
noticed that about $20.6 million was transferred to this account from
Switzerland and another $7million from South Africa was also
transferred to it, but up till this day, no withdrawal has been
made.
In the recent meeting held by the Board of Directors in our bank, it
was deliberated on the issue of unclaimed funds lying in our bank, but
decided to adjourn the motion as contained in the article 13 (b)
sub-section (iv)of the minutes of the BOD's meeting.
I need your full co-operation to make this subject successful because
the management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner
who has the correct informations of this account, which I will give
to you immediately if you are capable and willing to handle such
transaction with confidence and trust according to my instructions
and advise for our mutual benefit because this is a life time
opportunity I do not want to miss.
I have to assure you that with my position now in the office I can
transfer this money to any reliable foreign account which you can
provide with full assurance that this money will be safe and well
guided. I will destroy all document of transaction in my office
immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to any place.
I will use my position and influence to effect legal approvals and
onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate
clearance forms of the ministries and foreign exchange
departments.If possible You can come to Cotonou Rep. of Benin to
discuss with me face to face after which I will make the remittance
in your presence and two of us will fly to your country for
withdrawal and sharing.
Please reply urgently, also send your private telephone and fax
numbers,Bank Account details (Name of Bank, Address, A/C Name
etc).I would like us to meet face to face or to sign a binding
agreement to ensure that we can receive this money with trust to
each other.
I will look forward to your earliest call through my Private telephone.
