RE:TRANSFER OF (USD 10.3 MILLION)
Dear Good Friend,
With much sincererity of purpose I make this contact
with you in this divine year of 2006 as I strongly
believed in spiritual expect of life that control the
physical and the divine nature that governs the
universe.
My name is Dr victor an accountant in a reputable bank
in ECOBANK Benin Republic West Coast Africa. I am
contacting you with the hope of having a private and
confidential business with you. I am writing you to
ask for your assistance in the transfer of USD
(10.3.m) TEN Million, Three Hundred Thousand
Dollars. Before I go further with my request I will
like to inform you that I would loved if we could
discuss this transaction through Telephone due to its
magnitude, I am taking this urgent move in order to
make an acquaintance with you prior to the time I will
be due for an official assignment in Europe But first
I will like to put in the light of this transaction.
Durring the course of our Auditting Earlier January
2006 , I discovered a floating fund in an account
opened in the bank in 1996 and since 1998 nobody has
operated on this account again, after going through
some old files in the records, I discovered that the
owner of the account died without a [Heir/WILL],
Hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this
money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account Mr. Morris Thompson an
American Citizen and a great industrialist and a
resident of Alaska, who unfortunately lost his life in
the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which
crahsed on January 31 2000, including his wife and
only daughter leaving nobody to claim the money. You
shall read more news about the crash on visiting this
site
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
and
http://www.alaskaair.com/E_latest.asp
No other person knows about this account or any thing
concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary
and my investigation proved to me as well that the
account is a secret account.
The total amount involved is Ten million Three Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars only [$10,300.000.00]
and I wish to transfer this money into a safe
foreigners account abroad. But I don't know any
foreigner, I am only contacting you as a foreigner
because this money can not be approved to a local
person here, but to a foreigner who has information
about the account, which I shall give to you upon your
positive response.
I am revealing this to you with believe in God that
you will never let me down in this business, you are
the first and the only person that I am contacting for
this business, so I need urgent response so that we
shall proceed to next step . I' ve reposed my
confidence in you with hope you will never let me down
now or in the future.
Your's sincerely,
Dr. victor ola.
Chief Auditor,
ECOBANK,
