FROM THE DESK OF BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
DR. UBAH ZUO
BANQUE INTERNATIONALE DE ABIDJAN.
ABIDJAN,COTE D, IVOIRE.
ATTN Dear
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance
department of Banque internationale de Abidjan (BIAO).
I am writing for your support and assistance to carry out this
transaction .
In my department i discovered an abandoned sum of $11.5m US dollars
eleven million, five hundred thousand U.S dollars) .In an account that
belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire
family in a
concord plane crash in the year 2000 at paris that almost took the
whole life of the pasengeres on board ,Since our bank got the
information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come
over and claim his money because we cannot release unless somebody applies
for it as next of kin
or relation to the deceased as indicated in our
banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed
next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving
nobody behind for the
claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this
businness proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of
kin or relation to the de ceased for safety and subsequent disbursement
since
nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the
Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money
remained unclamed aft five years, the money will be transfered into the
Bank
treasury account as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned
by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an Ivoirean cannot stand
as next of kin to a foreigner.I agree that 30 %
of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the
provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for expenses
incured during the business and 60 % would be for me . There after I
will visit your country for disbursement accoding to the percentages
indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of thisfund to you as
arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of
the
deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account
number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective
communication and location where the money will be remitted .
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text
of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction is risk free and that you should not
entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made
for the transfer .
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
DR. UBAH ZUO . [bill and exchange manager bib]
