Subject: GOOD DAY
Dear friend,
It is my pleasure to seek for your assistance, This proposal is real and I
want you to consider it very important and I am assuring you that it is not
a dubious mail.
I am Mr Maika Bama , of Eco Bank international , Audit and Account Unit,
during the course of our auditing, I discovered a floating fund in an
account which was opened in 1990 in Eco Bank and since 2000 nobody has
operated on this account again. After going through some old files in the
records, I discovered that the owner of the account died with his family.
Remain honest to me till the end of this important business trusting in you
and believing in God that you will not disappoint me.
The owner of this account who was Mr Charles Balassi, from California, a
foreigner and an Industrialist died along side with his next of kin, since
November 2,1999 in plane crash, until now no other person(s) knows about
this account or could give any documentary evidence concerning this account.
Meanwhile the total amount involved is Ten million United States Dollars
(U.S.$10,000,000.00 only.) I am only contacting you as a foreigner because
this money can not be approved to a local account, without valid
international foreign Agreement but could only be approved to any foreigner
with valid international documents: Passport or Driver’s license and Foreign
Account because this sum is in U.S. dollars and the former owner of the
account Mr Charles Balassi is a foreigner too, thus the money could only be
approved foreigner.
I will like you to keep this secret because we are still in service with
this bank and entend to retire as soon as you confirm the fund in your
account and inform us,we shall retire from service with the bank and travel
to meet you for the sharing of the fund and for future investment upon your
good advice on the possible area of investment .
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given you 35% of the total
amount, 55% will be for me, while 10% will be for expenses that might have
incurred during this process,This business is 100% risk free, be rest
assured.
I look forward to your earliest reply
Best regards.
Mr.Maika Bama
