ALPHA TRUST SECURITY COMPANY IvoRY CosT
I am contacting you in my position as the principal clerk officer of this
security company; I am 56 years of age. In the course of my routine work, I
discovered an unclaimed certificate of deposit in a file owned by a foreign
depositor with European citizenship. In the Deposit certificate issued to
the depositor who is resident in Ivory Cost the contents of the Trunk Boxes
deposited with us during the heat of Ivory Cost Civil War indicated
jewelries and personal effects.
In view of the fact that the period of deposit is about expiring, I now made
some efforts to locate the depositor, who was a very successful business
entrepreneur in the war ravaged country Ivory Cost in order to know when he
would come up to claim these boxes. Information I gathered upon my inquiry
through United Nation Humanitarian organ for refugees in Ivory Cost revealed
that he was killed with two of his brothers by rebel.
They were killed while he was trying to organize his business and industries
scattered all over the major cities in Ivory Cost Ever since he died no one
has come forward to claim these trunk boxes which I later discovered was
containing cash totaling US$7.4 Million Dollars, which he moved into our
company when the civil started. Now that it is established that no one is
coming to claim these Boxes, I need your assistance since you are a
foreigner to claim these boxes from my office. It is important we do this
urgently because the expiring date within which period the boxes would be
claimed according to the Deed of contract of the deposit is approaching.
Mean while my company is not aware about this development and I would not
want them to know otherwise the discovery I made would no longer be at my
advantage but to my company because it would be lodged into my companys
Account. By virtue of my position in office being the certificate issuing
officer I am capable of effecting some changes in the original papers with
which these boxes were deposited, I can do this without any problem or you
involving in any form of risk at all until the claim is successfully made. I
will retire as soon as this arrangement is concluded.
Please co-operate to enable me achieve this golden opportunity, that rarely
comes in ones lifetime. Furnish me with quicker communication. Urgent
response is highly awaited through above e-mail only, for your information I
have interest on business ventures like Real Estate and importation Note:
