Ayo Richard
Managing Director,
Guaranty Trust Bank Limited, (Gambia)
Banjul,Gambia
Good Day,
I crave Your indulgence to kindly attend to this mail in good faith as i do
not mean any disrespect approaching you through this medium,it is due to the
time constrain of this matter.
I am Ayo Richard Managing director of Guaranty Trust Bank Limited, (Gambia),
Banjul.I came to know about you in my search for a reliable and reputable
person/company to handle a confidential business transaction that requires
huge transfer of funds into an oversea account.
On June 6, 2005,a Foreign auditing firm named Deloitte and Co,was contracted
to audit the financial records of all the branches of my bank by the board
of directors of my bank.It was observed by this team of financial expert
that my branch financial records was in excess of $26.5(twenty six Million,
five hundred thousand Dollars).
Records indicated that this funds that were afloat in my branch resulted
from accrued interest of unclaim dividends of funds for over a period of
ten(10) years that were invested in unit trust by investors in shares of
companies quoted on Gambian stock exchange(GSE)in real
estate-investment,money market instrument(such as treasury bills),fixed
income investments,and goverment bonds issued by the apex bank of Gambia.
I am yet to brief the Directors of my bank about this unclaimed funds,My aim
is to transfer this funds into an oversea account and for this I seek your
assistance so that the proceeds of this
unclaim dividends can be paid to you, so that we can both share the
money,60% to me and 40% to you.
Can I trust you on this?.
The board of directors of my bank if aware of this unclaim funds will adopt
a resolution that will see my branch forfeiting the money as an abandoned
fund.The directors will invoke the
abandoned property decree of 1994 which gives them the power to confiscate
funds that are dicovered as unclaimed funds.
I have no doubt in my mind that the directors will divert this funds into
their private accounts for their own interest under the excuse that i am
unable to look for a Beneficiary to make the
claim,the money will be made unserviceable and that means submitting the
funds to the federal government of my country and some to the bank
management which is not their main intention.Well I have reasoned very
professionally and I can use my professionall knowledge to move the funds
out
of my bank,this is legally possible and would be done in accordance with the
laws of the land.
Consequently,I seek your consent to provide a foreign account that will
receive this funds for safe-keeping pending when i meet with you for the
disbursement of the funds.
I am writing you because I cannot operate a foreign account due to the
conditions of my employment as a bank official.
The money will be moved out to any account in any part of the world that you
will provide for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you.
If you are interested, please make sure you reply immediately and Upon your
response, I shall then provide you with more details that will help you
understand the transaction.
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 any viable
business that you will advise on within
your country.
Awaiting your prompt response.
