Dear Sir,
With due respect and humility, I write to you this proposal. I am a staff of BIAO BANK, ABIDJAN,COTE D'IVOIRE . I am writing following the impressive regards to you about this business opportunity.
In my department, I discovered an abandoned sum of $11.5M US dollars)eleven million five hundred thousand united states dollars in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer from Germany Mr Klaus Becker who died along with his entire family in september 2001 in a
plane crash in France. Since we got the information about his death, we have been expecting
his next of kin to come forward and claim his money because we can not release
it unless somebody applies for it as his next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines and policies but unfortunately we learnt
that all his supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him at the
plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claims.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased. since nobody is coming forth to claim the money and we don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Money.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an ivoirian cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
I agree that 25% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner.In respect
to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be map out for any expenses incured during the course of the transaction.
There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
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 of the deceased 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, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the
application. 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 as soon as you receive this letter.
Hoping to hear from you.
Your's faithfully,
Mike Edwards.
