Subject: Your attention please
Your attention please,
Please I wish to humbly solicit for your assistance and business know-how to actualise this transaction. I am a senior staff of a bank in Zimbabwe and I have a business proposition below which I will like you to go through carefully, make up your mind and give me an urgent reply if you are satisfied to transact with me.
On June 6th 2001, a rich farmer/businessman made a Fixed Deposit of US$16,320,000.00 (Sixteen Million,Three Hundred and Twenty Thousand United States Dollars) in my branch office for twelve calendar months. Unfortunately before the maturity date he was killed during the land crises that erupted when Mugabe's administration took over the settlers land and handed it over to the original owners. This dispute withnessed a lot of killings between the setllers and the owners.
Over the years, this fund US$16,320,000.00 have been in the bank under my watchful eyes as the account officer of the account and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. Uptill this time I am writing this to you, no one has ever come forward to put up a claim due to the man's childlessness to stand-in as his next-of-kin.
Base on this therefore, I want to propose that you stand-in as his next of kin being a foreigner to claim this fund ($16.320m), such that this fund does not revert to the ownership of the government in the event that nobody applies to claim it.
Upon your willingness to transact this with me you will be compensated with 35% of the total sum and please note that all necessary procedure to claim this fund will be legal as we shall employ the services of an attorney overhere whose professional fee will be my responsibility for all legal procedure to secure this fund on your name.
I want to assure you that there is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney upon your instruction and my position as the regional branch manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.
On your return mail, I will provide you more details that will put you in a clearer picture of this pending transaction and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us and perhabs if you could provide me with your private phone number to enable me call and add a voice to this mail.
Thank you for reading through while I await your return mail.
My regards,
Yussuf Jubril
