Attn: Pls,
Taking into considerations that we have not met before, l know this mail although it's
for good motive, may come to you asurprise. l decided to contact you for this reason
believing that you would be capable to work-out this deal for the interest of us based
on what we have in the file here.
I am Dr. Albert Galut, the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of Eco
Bank in west Africa with due respect and regard.
I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial
to both of us at the end of the transaction . During ourinvestigation and auditing in
this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased
person who died on 21 april 2001 in a Auto crash and the fund has been dormant in his
account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his
family or relation before our discovery to this
development.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and partners to
enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of
execution. The said amount was us$13M (thirteen million united states dollars). Since
then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients
extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact a foreigner who will
act as the next of kin to the deceased instead of the money going into the federal
government coffers. I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and
property left behind by my client before they get confisicated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly,the Eco Bank Plc where the deceased had an account valued at about13
million united states dollars has issued a notice for the next of kin to surface or
have the account confisicated within the next ten official working days. since i have
been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 4 years now I seek your consent
to present you as the next of kin of the deceased hence we claim this fund for our own
benefits so that the proceeds of this account valued at 13 million dollars can be paid
to you and then you and me can share the money.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may
make.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. guarantee
that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law.I will procure all necessary Legal documents
