Hello Gentleman,
I am Mr. Mike Okiki, an accountant officer with Citi Bank,Plc here in
Dakar Sengal. I gathered your information from my country's
international chamber of trade and commerce, The business I am
about to introduce is basedon sheer trust and with a sense of
purpose.I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the
sum of ($15.2M)u.S dollars.The money and property left
behind by Dr.Solomon who died accidentally On the 21st of April 2000,
Dr Solomon Komana, his wife and their two Children were killed by rebels
on the past crisis in Liberia during the Time of their formal president
Charles Taylor near their village called Kuru .I gathered all this
information through a good source after my several routine note
to his forwarding address. Because he had served here in Dakar Senegal
as a business consultant with the Senegalaise National
Petroleum & Gas Corperation.SNPGC and a special ass advise to the
OPEC.
Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy here
in Dakar senegal to locate any of his extended relatives, this has
also proved unsuccessful to locate any member of his family hence
I contacted you as his account officer to work with you before the
fund get confiscate or declared unserviceable by the bank where
these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly. Now the management
has been dlibrating on how to revert this fund to the bank
privacy and Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over 3 years now,I seek your consent to present
you as the next of kin to the deceased since you are a foriegner
so that the proceeds of this account valued at $15.200,000:00
can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money.
50% to me and 40% to you, while 10% will be maped out for
any miscellaneous expenses that might incure in the cause of
this transaction.
I have all the necessary legal documents to back up this claim, and
this I must do to make sure that this fund is not wasted or end up in
the wrong hands. All I require is your honest and sincere co-operation
to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee you that this transaction
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you
and I from any breach of the law. Reply me through my e-mail address
