My name is Miss Susan Agu , I am an
Accountant/regional manager with First Citi Trust
Finance and Security Company (www.fctfsonlineplc.com)
I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my
bank (Kurt Kahle from the United States of America)
who was involved in a plane crash and died along with
his entire family on 25TH JULY,2000 CONCORDE PLANE
CRASH [ Flight AF4590] with the whole passengers
aboard see below Website for more information about
the plane crash.See weblink below:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm.
There is an account opened in this bank in 2000 by
this great late BUSINESS/INDUSTRIALIST/FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR. Since his death ,I personally
have watched with keen interest to see the next of kin
but all has proved abortive as no one has come to
claim his funds and no other person knows about this
account or anything concerning it, the account has no
other beneficiary and until his death he was the
manager of his company.
The total amount involved is $15,000,000.00 USD. We
wish to start the first transfer with
US$7,400,000,00.[7.4 million] and upon successful
transaction without any disappointment from your
side, we shall re-apply for the transfer of the
remaining balance to your account.
I have secretly discussed this matter with the General
Manager of my bank who I must involve in order to have
a smooth and a successful transfer of the fund to any
foreign bank account which you are going to nominate.
On this note, I decided to seek for a reliable
foreigner who will act as the foreign beneficiary of
the fund from the deceased by providing his/her bank
account where the fund will be transferred into for
immediate investment on any viable project as no one
has come up to be the next of kin.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to
stay more than six years without claim hence the money
will be recalled to the government treasury as
unclaimed after this long period of domancy.
In view of this I got your contact through my
personal search to see if you can assist by providing
your safe bank account,Open a new account for the
transfer.Or find a reliable person who will be capable
of receiving such amount in his or her personal
account. At the conclussion of the transfer 60% of the
fund will be for us here, we would give you35% of the
total transfer sum, 5% will be set aside to settle
expenses both parties might incure during the transfer
process.
TO PROCEED, I would like you to send me the
information of any account of your choice where you
will like this fund to be transferred into.This
transaction is totally free of risk and trouble as the
fund is a legitimate fund which does not originate
from drug,money laundry, terrorism or any other
illegal act.Upon th e receipt of your reply, I will
send to you a detailed information about the
transaction.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
business is 100% risk and trouble free and that you
should not entertain any fear as all modalities for
fund transfer can be finalized within 7 to 9 banking
days, after we apply to the bank as the beneficiary of
the fund from the deceased.
However, we shall meeet in your country three bank
working days to discuss what capital venture to invest
the fund into in your country with your
Technical-knowhow. Please do include the following
information in your response to this partnership Idea:
(1) Telephone & Fax numbers (2) Residential Contact
address With the above information about your person I
shall ask the legal advisor of the bank to prepare the
documentation in your name as the bonafide owner of
the fund.
Please send your reply to my private mail account:
susanagu70@yahoo.com
Best Regards.
Susan Agu
