Subject: LET US DO IT TOGETHER
Dear Sir,
I am Mr. EDU OLIVER SUNDAY, a Manager with ECOBANK BOTSWANA PTY. So I will
be please to use this chance to introduce to you a business transaction
(deal).
You are to relax your mind, because this is REAL. Being the manager in the
bank (Ecobank) i have discovered a very good deal transaction which both of
us will benefit from provided we are in agreement.
As it stands, there is a foreign client (customer) in person of MR. EDWARD
Park, also a very good business man who has a very huge sum of amount
$18.500Million) in my bank (Ecobank) before his sudden death. It was a pity
and sorrowful that Mr. Park, the wife and their only son died sorrowfully,
that is, they were among the victims of the TERRORIST BOMB BLAST TRAGEDY,
that occurred recently (11th, September, 2001) in United States of America
(USA) during his visit for a business negotiation in America.
As the manager in the bank also a very good family friend to Mr. Park, I
have tried all my possible best to see(locate) if I can get or know any of
Mr. Park family member or relation, so that I can get them informed of the
latest development as regards to the huge sum of amount which belongs to Mr.
Park in the Ecobank. To your best knowledge this sum($18.500Million) is
floating in the Ecobank and I will not want it to be finally taken by the
management of the Ecobank.
But my greatest surprise is that Mr. Park did not have anybody or other
person left behind to stand as his NEXT OF KIN to this money ($18.500
Million).
Now, since this man has no person left behind for the claim of this very
huge sum of money as the NEXT OF KIN, i will want to liaise with you as a
foreign partner in respect of this money, so that this huge sum ($18.500
Million) could be paid (Remitted) into your private bank account as the NEXT
OF KIN to this our very good customer/ client (Mr. Park).
For your information all the necessary arrangement has been put in place to
ensure 100% success, while all the important document that covers this money
are also at my reach. As I have told you initially that I am a family friend
to this very man (Mr. Park). In a NUT-SHELL I will want you to stand as the
next of kin to Mr. Park, so that we can get this money out from the Ecobank
pty, into your private bank account for
safe-keeping pending my arrival for sharing in your country.
It is very important you indicate your wiliness, so that I can send across
to you all the necessary TEXT FORM document from the bank also talk on the
issue of the sharing modalities as i have planned.
Please this deal is REAL, SECRECY and 100% risk-free. Bear in mind that we
are concluding this deal between 28 working days, which starts from the day
your positive response is received. You are also required to send across
your private telephone and fax number for easy communication and oral
discussion, so as to avoid any delay. I come again; you are to stand as the
next of kin (Relation) to this very man (Mr. Park) for the claim of this
huge amount ($18.500M).
My regards to you and your entire family. Please send your reply to this
box:
Yours sincerely.
Mr. EDU OLIVER SUNDAY (Manager).
Ecobank Pty.
