FIRST STANDARD BANK INTERNATIONAL.
(F.S.B.I)
COTE DIVOIRE: DESK OF Mrs AMA AHMED.
EMAIL: amaahmmed07@excite.com
DEAR FRIEND,
I am Mrs AMA AHMED. The manager, Bills and
Exchange at the Foreign Remittance Department of the
(F.S.B.I.) Bank of COTE D' IVOIRE. I am writing this
letter to ask for your support and cooperation to
carry out this business opportunity in my department.
On Dec 29, 2003,AN American oil consultant/contractor
with the IVOIRE National Petroleum Corporation, Mr.
KELLY BARRY made a numbered time (Fixed) deposited for
twelve calendar months, valued at
US$25,000,000.00(TWENTY FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES
DOLLARS) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but got no
reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally
we discovered from his contract employers, COTE D'
IVOIRE National Petroleum Corporation that Mr. KELLY
BARRY died from an automobile accident. On further
investigation, I found out that he did not leave a
WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were
fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and
discovered that Mr.KELLY BARRY did not declare any
next of kin in all his official documents, including
his Bank Deposit paperwork. This sum of $25,000,000.00
is still sitting in the Bank and the interest is being
rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each
year. No one will come forward to claim it. According
to the COTE D' IVOIRE Law, at the expiration of
6{Six} years, the money will revert to the ownership
of the COTE D' IVOIRE Government if nobody applies to
claim the funds. Consequently, my proposal is that I
will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next
of kin to Mr. KELLY BARRY so that the fruits of this
old man's labuor will not get into the hands of some
corrupt government officials.
This is simple;
1) I will like you to provide me immediately with your
full names and address so that the attorney will
prepare the necessary documents and affidavits, which
will put you in place as the next of kin.
2) We shall employ the services of two attorneys for
drafting and notarization of the WILL and obtain the
necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.
3) A bank account in any part of the world, which you
provide, will then facilitate the transfer of this
money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin to
Mr.KELLY BARRY. The money will be paid into your
account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and
40% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paper work for this
transaction will be done by the attorney, and my
position as the Foreign Remittance 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 then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand. Please
observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that
this transaction would be most profitable for both of
us because I shall require your assistance to invest
my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks and regards,
Mrs AMA AHMED.
