Dear SIR/MADAM,
I am Mr.IBRAHIM KHALIFA Country office Manager AFRICA
DEVELOPMENT BANK,DAKAR-SENEGAL.I have urgent and very
confidential business proposition for you & I.On
November 14th, 2000, Paul Stevens, made a numbered
time(Fixed)Deposit for Twenty Four calendar months,
valued at US$20,700,000.00 (Twenty Million,Seven
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in my branch.
Upon maturity which was supposed to be 14th November
2002, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding
address but got reply from The ABB Construction
Corporation,where he was a board member that Paul
Stevens was involved in a plane crash on October
25th,2002 on his way back from America to Africa,after
vacation. On further investigation,I found out that he
died without making a "WILL", and all attempts to
trace his next of kin was fruitless,as his wife Sheila
and daughter Marcia was also involved in the crash.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered
that Paul Stevens did not declare any kin or relations
in all his official documents,including his Bank
Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
US$20,700,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the
interest is being
rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each
year. No one will ever come forward to claim
it.According to Dakar-Senegal laws, at the expiration
of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the
ownership of the Senegal Government if nobody applies
to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a
foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Paul
Stevens so that the fruits of this old man's labor
will not get into the hands of some corrupt government
officials.This is simple, I will like you to provide
immediately your full names address and contact
informations(Tel & Fax Nos),to make the necessary
changes and also prepare the necessary documents which
will put you in place as the next-of-kin.
The money will be paid into your account for us to
share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this
transaction will be done by the Bank top Officials for
huge transfers like this,and my position as a Director
guarantees the successful execution of this
transaction.If you are interested,please reply
immediately via a return email.Upon your response, I
shall then provide you with more details that will
help you understand the transaction and the way
forward.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest
assured that this transaction would be most profitable
for both of us because I shall require your assistance
to invest my share in your country.
Thanks and regards.
Mr.IBRAHIM KHALIFA
Branch Manager
