Subject: FROM DR MARK KONE
FROM DR MARK KONEABIDJAN COTE D`IVOIRE WEST AFRICA Dear Sir
I am DR.MARK KONE,a staff of one of the Commercial Banks in ABIDJAN COTE
D'IVOIR(IVOIRECOAST). I have urgent and very confidential business proposition
for you. I got your contact from the world trade center (W.T.C.) regional
office in ABIDJAN COTED'IVOIRE the details of my intention was not made known
to them. On June 6 2001, An oil consultant / contractor with the
ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE National Petrolum Corporation, ENG. MUSTAPHA AZEEZ,made
a numbered time (fixed) deposit for twelve calendar months valued at
US$7,500,000.00 (Seven Million Five Hundred thous united states dollars)in my
branch. 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 contact employers COTE D'IVOIRE National Petroleum corporation that
ENG. MUSTAPHA AZEEZ, died along with his family in plane crash.
On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all
attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that ENG.MUSTAPHA AZEEZ, did not declare any next
of kin in all his official documents,including his Bank Deposit paperwork.
This sum of US$7,500,000.00 is still sitting in the Bank and the interest is
being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will
come forward to claim it. According to the ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE Law, at
the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money will evert to the ownership of the
COTED'IVOIRE Government if nobody applies to claim thefunds. Consequently, my
proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin
to ENG.MUSTAPHA AZEEZ, so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not
get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple,
1. I will like you to provide me immediately with your full names and address
so that the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents and affidavits,
which will put you in place as the next of kin to this fixed deposit.
2. We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting all the necessary
documents in your favour for the transfer.
3. A bank account in any part of the world, which you provide, will then
facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary / next of kin
of ENG. MUSTAPHA AZEEZ. The money will be paid into your account for us to
share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you. There is no risk as all the
paper work for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position
as a staff of this department, guarantees the successful execution of this
deal.
If you are interested, please reply immediately .Upon your response, I shall
then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you
understand the deal very well. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest
assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because
I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country. Awaiting
your urgent reply.
Thanks and best regards,
DR.MARK KONE.
