With due respect and humanity, I write to you this proposal. I am the Director General of Auditing and Accounting Department of Sototoles Bank Of Africa, Cotonue Branch, in WEST AFRICA.
I am writing following the impressive information about you which i got from Internet web site when i was searching for a reliable person with good profiles to assist me for a business opportunity.
In my department, i discovered an abandoned sum of US$8.5 million (Eight million five hundred thousand united states dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family .
Since i got information about his death, i have been expecting his (Next of Kin) to come forward and claim His (The deceased) money because my Bank cannot release it unless somebody Applies for it as NEXT OF KIN or RELATION to the deceased as indicated in (Our Banking Guidelines) and policies, but unfortunately i learnt that all his supposed (Next of Kin) or (Relations) are among the
plane crach in that 1997, hence nobody remains for the property.
It is therefore upon this discovery, 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 deceased for safety and
subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming forth and i don't want this money to go into our (Bank treasury) as unclaimed Bill. According to our Banking policies and guideline here, it stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after five years, the money will automatically be transfered into the Bank/Government treasury as unclaimed fund.
I am ready to give you 30% of this money upon receipt of it in your Account Overseas in respect to the provision of a (Foreign Account), 5% will be share 50-50 after removing all expenses incured by you or by me during the curse of the transaction while 65% will be for me and my family. Though, I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated above as soon as you confirm receipt of the money into your account.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as (relation or next of kin) to the deceased customer indicating your Bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easier and effective communication and location where the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply to me Today, I will send to you by fax or email a text of APPLICATION which we will use to apply for claiming/withdrawal of the Fund from our bank to your Bank account that you will submited.
Meanwhile, I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch 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 so that i will give you more details and our next action.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Best Regards,
Dr. GRANT UWA
