Subject: I am expecting a reasonable response
Attn:
I have a feeling that you are genuine and honest. Acting as a
partner/manager that I can rely on for an investment/claim totalling
US$10.5M as an individual in your country.
Source of Fund
.................
During our last audit exercise,some amount of money totalling
$10.5Million was discovered and traced to be owned by a foreigner who died
in a mysterious car accident . The source of this fund was further traced to
be a contract payment made to him by the Shell B.Petroleum since he has
always used our bank for his deposits during his stay here,but this fund has
remained unclaimed till now.Since his death, nobody has shown up to claim
this fund and this attracted our managments curiosity thereby declaring the
account dormant.
A panel setup by the Government on recovery of funds expects that this
fund should be unquestionably claimed by any of his available foreign
next of kin or alternatively be returned back to the central bank of my
country.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not going to be able to
locate any next of kin that the panel set to supervise this,under the
influence of our chairman, Dr.Sam that arrangement is being made for the
fund to be declared UNCLAIMED and account closed then be returned back to
the bank treasury with the central bank of my country.That I have taken it
upon myself to source for a foreign partner who could assist in claimimg
this fund for further transfer abroad as the next of kin irrespective of any
difference in name,as anybody could be next of kin to the deceased no matter
the age and sex.
There is absolutely no risk involved in this transaction since
the money is cleanly acquired by the deceased. If you are interested in
party to this deal, get back to me for more detailed informations
through mailbox:triciajames2005@yahoo.com
Mode of sharing
.....................
NOTE:That documents and proofs to enable you get this fund would be
carefully sent to you by a fully registered legal practioner attached to
this deal and I am assuring you a 100% risk free involvement. Your
share would be 60% of the total amount if you agree to assist while 10%
would be set aside to offset all expenses in the course of the transfer
and the rest would be for me. If this proposal is OK by you, and you
wish to take the advantage of the trust i am bestowing on you then kindly
reach me immediately for further important ideas on how to work with me
to actualise this before I loose the opportunity.
I can also be reached on this telephone number
