When I discovered that there had been no deposits nor withdrawals from this
account for this long period, I decided to carry out a system investigation
and discovered that non of the family member nor relations of the late
person is aware of this account.
This is the story in a nutshell. Now I want an account overseas where thses
fund will be transfer according
to the due process of our bank in order to avoid voilation of any country
and international Monetory law on fund transfer. Thereafter,I had planned to
destroy all related documents for this account. It is a careful network
and for the past eleven months I have worked out everything to ensure a
hitch-free operation.
The amount is not so much at the moment and plus all the accumulated
interest
the balance in this account stands at-(US$15.million US dollars). Now my
questions are:-
1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I give you this trust?
3. What will be your commission? If you can sponsor this transfer
. Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.
To commence this transaction, we require you to immediately indicate your
interest by a return e-mail and enclose (1) your private contact telephone
number,(2)
fax number(3) full name and address( 4) your designated bank coordinates(
your bank account and swift code)and any form of identification like your
international passport to enable us file letter of claim to the appropriate
departments for necessary
approvals before the transfer can be made.
Finally, it is our humble prayer that the information as contained herein
be accorded the necessary attention, urgency as well as the secrecy it
deserves.
I expect your urgent response if you can handle this project.
Write to me at this direct contact email address: drcharles_okafor@sify.com
OR dr_charlesokafor004@yahoo.com
I am expecting your urgent response as soon as you receive my message.
