Subject: I Need Your Help
Mr.Martins Beke.
Commercial Bank Of Senegal
118 Rue Dial Grandyorff
Dakar Senegal
West Africa.
Dear Friend,
I cant imagine how you will feel receiving a sudden business letter
from
a remote country in far away Africa and probably from someone you are
not closely related with. But all the same, I believe we do not need to
be of blood relatives before we can establish cordial/business
relationship. Having said this,I think it is very important at this
juncture to introduce myself to you.
I am Mr.Martins Beke, Head: Enterprise Wide Risk and member of the
executive and risk committees of Commercial Bank Of,Senegal.I got
your information while browsing through internet in search of a
reliable
person who will assist me.This is an urgent and very confidential
business proposition.
On June 7, 2000,a Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the Senegal
Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Mr.Kurt Kahle made a
numbered time(Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at
US$10,500, 000.00,(Ten Million, five hundred thousand Dollars).
Upon maturity,I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address
but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we
discovered from his Private Business School. employers, that On the
31st
of July 2000, our client, with his 37-year-old wife and his son
Michael,
aged eight died in the Air France concord plane crash bound for New
York
in their plan for a world cruise, with other passengers abroad as you
can confirm it yourself via the website below:
<http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm>
On further investigation,I found out that he died without making a
"WILL",and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I
therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr.Mr.Kurt
Kahle did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official
documents,including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
US$10,500,000.00 has carefully been fixed in my bank for safekeeping.
No
one will ever come forward to claim it.According to Senegal Law,
at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money will revert to the
ownership of the Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand as the next of kin to Mr. Kurt Kahle so that the fruit of this
old
man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt Government
officials.I am writing you because I as a public servant,i cannot
operate a foreign account. I want to present you as the owner of the
funds so you will be able to claim them with the help of my attorney.I
will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so
that
the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents which will put you in
place as the beneficiary of the funds.
The money will be moved out for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me
and 40% for you. The paperwork for this transaction will be done by the
Attorney If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email
address and upon your response,I shall then provide you with more
details that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall
require your assistance to invest my share in real estate within your
country.
Due to the nature of confidentiality in this Transaction our
communication can only be via email and fax mostly.
Awaiting your urgent reply via email.martinsbeke@yahoo.com </ym/Compose?To=email.martinsbeke@yahoo.com>
Thanks and my regards.
Mr.Martins Beke.
PLEASE REPLY TO MY PRIVATE EMAIL:martinsbeke@yahoo.com

this email in view of the confidentiality of the proposed transaction
and interest of personalities involves.
