Subject: Hello Bong Dolatre
Hello Bong Dolatre,
Thank you for your prompt response to my emailed message. I really
appreciate your understanding and I consider it expedient to give you the
details of this transaction. I will say I did not contact you by a stroke of
luck but by destiny and the fact that it took concern effort to locate one
having a similar last name to this late customer of my bank.
The reason why I am contacting you is to seek your assistance in the claim
of the deposited sum with my bank.
Mr Francis Dolatre was a businessman and a big customer of this bank (where
I work). He operated a coded checking account with us before his death. He
owned F.I.D IMPORT EXPORT COMPANY WEST AFRICA LTD but folded up after his
demise.
This transaction is legitimate and in essence it will undergo normal
procedures as stipulated in the financial and allied matters act and all
legal documents will be issued in your name. I contacted you because you
share the same last name with the deceased and so you can lay claims to this
huge amount he left behind in my bank as his next of kin.
This claim is solidly based on documented proof. I have all relevant
documents to this claim at my disposal hence I work in the customer’s
service department where records and secured customer data information are
kept.
If you will to assist in this great opportunity, I will draft a text of
application which you will retype and send to my bank as the next of kin to
the deceased applying for the release of the fund which your deceased
relative have left in their custody. In this regard my bank will require
prove from you which will be my responsibility to provide to you and you
will in turn send to my bank for their scrutiny, hence the information that
I will pass on to you will be the same as what the deceased customer left
with my bank when this account was first open.
You must understand that in the finance industry, chances or opportunities
like this are common but not heard. People put their money in finance
companies and some of these accounts are either coded or confidentially
operated, therefore, when such people die suddenly what do you think that
happens to these money when nobody comes for their claims? Well, this is one
of the numerous avenues good "free" money are made within and amongst the
top director banks and financial institutions.
Pls note that no name was registered with my bank during the time he opened
this account before his untimely death and the final deadline given by my
bank management is just few days away, it will be frozen at the expiration
of the deadline given by my bank and the board of directors will share it
amongst themselves as a way of loans. I have worked very hard all these
years and will not just sit by and watch the money disappear like that into
thin air. When I strongly believe that with team work and trust between us
there can be no failure but a successful outcome at the end of the day.
Considering our both commitments in this project, I have decided to share
this money with you 50% TO 50% both ways after deducting 10% to cover taxes
or any expenses that we might come across in the realisation of this
inheritance claim. this is because of my contribution.
I will be waiting to hear from you ASAP, then I will send to you the text of
application that you will use in demanding the release of this fund.
This is an opportunity that comes once in a life time and I have decided to
make good use of it. I sincerely hope that we will work together in truth
and in faith without having any atom of greed to cheat each other as I do
believe that this business will certainly bring us together for good
friendship and serious business relationship as I will finally come over to
your country for settlement once this fund has been released to you.
I await your prompt reply.
Thanks and God bless.
Maggi Markson
