For Your Attention,
I know this mail might meet you in surprise, because we have not meet
before.
But despite that I will like you to take it as an opportunity in life.
This is a possible business that requires confidentiality and truthfullness.
Since this week I have been cross checking all the payment files in the
office
here at the Central Bank Of Nigeria, it was yesterday, that I was able to
find
one payment file that belong to a foreign Customer (MR. KURT KAHLE) who died
along with his entire family in 31st JULY , 2000 in a plane crash.
My name is Dr.Adams Kufoo, I presently work with the Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN) the Apex of the Government of Nigeria. I work in the remittance
department.
I am an account officer to One Mr. Kurt Kahle, who died along side his
family in
a plane crash. Since his death as his accounts Officer I have made frantic
efforts to locate any of his relative, because he has a substantial sum of
$25m
dollars with us here at the central bank of nigeria, Uptill date nobody has
showed up to lay claim on his deposit.
The Banking law and guideline here in my Country stipulates that if any
customer
account remains unserviceable or dormant, and unclaimed after (4) Four
years,
the amount in the account will be transferred into the Bank treasury on
grounds
of Money Laundering ,Drug and Anti -Terrorist activities. That means by end
of
this year, this $25,000,000.00 will be returned to the bank treasury as
unclaimed funds.
As a Banker I know what happens to such funds, the Executive Directors, the
Governor and the Deputy Goverors and the Chairman of the Board of Directors
will
share it amongst themselves and send down memos to us for reconciliation.
My request for a foreigner in this business is occasioned by
the fact that I can not come out openly to contest for the release of this
$25m
dollars, and no Indigene of this Country Nigeria will stand as next of kin
to a
foreigner. It is therefore on this premise that I seek your cooperation By
standing as a relative to MR KURT KAHLE.
As an Insider in this bank I will provide you with all relevant
Information/documents that will authenticate you as the next of kin to MR.
KURT
KAHLE, and present them to the management of the Central Bank, so that this
funds will be released to you without any doubts.
Note that your Physical presence is not needed at the Bank, I will Guide you
on
the Steps to take. The Bank will only ask for verifiable Documents which we
are
going to join hands and secure them from the respective offices and the High
Court. But it will cost us some money to secure these documents. If you are
ready to take up this opportunity, tell me so that I will detail you more on
the
transaction.
In All Fairness I am willing to split the money with you 50% 50% sharing
formal.
For your Information, I have done my home work very well, before embarking
on
the process of moving out the funds out of the bank through a Next of Kin.
The
Funds is much that no right thinking person can afford to let such
opportunity
pass him or her by.
For more Information to confirm the death of Mr. Kurt Kahle, see BBC News

call me throught this my private Telephone number 234 8023041768, so that I
will know your
readiness to work with me in this regards, but let truthfullness and
confidentiality be our watchword. If you can handle this one very well, more
like this will come and I will make you my business partner.
Thanks and waiting to hear from you ASAP.
Yours Faithfully
Dr.Adams Kufoo
