Attn: Pls,
Taking into considerations that we have not met before, l know this mail
although it's for good motive, may come to you as a surprise. l decided to
contact you for this reason believing that you would be capable to work-out
this deal for the interest of us based on what we have in the file here.
I am Dr. Albert Galut, the director in charge of auditing and accounting section
of Eco Bank in west Africa with due respect and regard. I have decided to
contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of
us at the end of the transaction . During our investigation and auditing in
this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a
deceased person who died on 21 april 2001 in a Auto crash and the fund has
been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and partners
to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of execution. The said amount was us$13M (thirteen million united states
dollars). Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate
any of my clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.After
these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact a foreigner who will
act as the next of kin to the deceased instead of the money going into the
federal government coffers. I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the
money and property left behind by my client before they get confisicated or
declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly,the Eco Bank Plc where the deceased had an account valued at about
13 million united states dollars has issued a notice for the next of kin to
surface or have the account confisicated within the next ten official working
days. since i have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 4 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased hence
we claim this fund for our own benefits so that the proceeds of this account
valued at 13 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share
the money. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law. I will procure all necessary Legal
documents furnish me with the below information to enable the bank transfer the fund to your bank account.
(1) Your phone and fax number for easy conversation
(2) Your age and occupation.
(3) Your full name and address
Once I hear from you I will tell you the next line of action.
Best Regards,
Dr. Albert Galut
