MyDEARPARTNER,
I guess this letter might come to you as a surprise since I had no previous correspondence with you, But with due respect I got your contact from my country's chamber of commerce in my researchfor a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to assist me
in handling a very confidential business transaction involving the transfer of US75 million dollars only.
The above fund is not connected with arms, drugs or Money laundering;neither is it related
to any terrorist sponsor of any sort.
I am Pradia morgan Akunne,an accountant and bank manager of this reputed bank. The Board members with the office of the Director, International Remmitance/Foreign Operation, has approved and accredited this reputed bank to handle and transfer all foreign inherittance funds this final quota of the year. I have a client involved a German and an oil merchant broker, who died in a plane crash with his wife and children in the Air France concord plane crash bound in their trip for a world cruise.
Hence the dormant nature of His account and without any traceable next of kin and if I do not remit this money out urgently,the account will be confisicated and the Board of Directors might
decide to re-channeled the funds and share it among themselfs,though I have tried to contact any of the relatives but to no avail.
All i need from you is to stand as the next of kin to my late client which i will present you and
provide either an existing bank account or set up a new Bank account immediately to receive this fund or you help to seek an honest and reliable businessman who can assist us.
I have decided to move out the fund and suggested we start the first transfer with thirty five million Dollars[35,000.000USD] and upon the successful transfer of the first 35million dollars without hitches or disappointment from you, We shall re-apply for the remittance of the
balance of the fund to your nominated account. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this fund cannot be approved for a local account here and I am not supposed
to be in possession of such amount of dollars,but the fund can only be approved to any foreigner whom i present as the beneficiary.
I will use my position in the Bank to do all the underground work and hasten the approval and release of the funds in your favour.I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the funds in your account and ask me to come over to your country for
subsequent sharing of the fund according by percentages. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction will be 100% risk free and will only take us 14 Banking days to finalize because as a banker, I know the Banking proceedures, so do not border or entertain
any atom of fear as all modalities has been mapped out to achieve success. You shall be compensated with 30% of the money for standing in as the beneficiary of the funds and 70%
to me the originator of the transaction.
I suggest we meet face to face to get acquainted, as the fund in question is a large onebefore we commence with the transfer. I need your full co-operation to make this work fine, as I will use my office to see that the transaction is hitch free and I will destroy entire documents relating to the transaction once we conclude the transaction. Please, you have been adviced to keep "top secret" as I am still in service andintend to retire from service after we conclude this deal.
Further details about this transaction will be discussed in the subsequent correspondence.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my personal email id(pradia_morgan2@yahoo.fr).
Best regards,
Dr. Pradia morgan
