Dear VICTIMNAME,
Thanks for your mail. This transaction is 100% legal. I contacted you to assist me in this transaction so that you will be presented to the bank as the next of kin/ beneficiary to late Mr Choi Soohyun fund in the bank i work with,
Without any delay i will want us to proceed immediately with this transaction. Late Mr.Choi Soohyun opens this account with our bank in when he has a company here in our country. He open the account because every company owners here in our country are required to have a deposit with the apex bank and that is why Late Mr.Choi Soohyun open his account with our bank and deposited the fund with our bank before his death in August 6,1997.
The filling and recording department of the bank have tried to contact his next of kin but no fruitful information about the next of kin and the bank have abandoned his account file since they are unable to trace his next of kin.
Three months later before our last year auditing our bank received a letter from the co-operate office saying " Late Mr.Choi Soohyun does not registered with kin" which means he did not specify anybody as his next of kin before his death. Presently this account is dormant and needed to be activated but nobody can activate this account because it was unclaimed.
I am now using my position in the bank to influence my assistant in the office so that we can contact you and claim this fund with your name since all the required documents to fortify this claim is with us here in the desk in the office therefore me and my assistant will be successful to claim the fund with your name as soon as you are willing to comply and take the offer of 30% of the total amount after the claim and transfer of the fund into your designated account.
Me and my assistant in the office can not claim this account our self because we are working with the bank and the bank knowing full well that we are citizens of the country and this is why me and my assistant in the office have contacted you so that you can apply to the bank with your name and lets claim this account/fund successfully and transfer into your account in your country.
We also need absolute confidentiality when claiming this account because I don’t want my bank to know that we are the people whom contacted you about this fruitful opportunity and that is why you must keep this transaction to yourself and do not let anyone around you to know about this transaction until these fund is transferred directly into your account successfully.
transaction does not require any type of delay because the bank will close the account after three months and this is why we need to work toward this claim immediately and claim the fund within 7 seven bank working days to enable the bank approve the claim and remit the funds into your account.
In other for me and my assistant to confide your trust in this transaction we require you to forward the following details immediately to enable us proceed:1.Your Mobile Telephone number2.Your Country Of Residence/Origin3.Contact Address4.Age5.Profession
I need you to provide the above details immediately so that we can proceed for the claim of the account. By applying you will require filling the claim application form which will qualify you as the next of kin. The claim application form will be forwarded to you immediately, I receive the details requirement above.
I will send the claim application immediately I confirm your willingness to accept the 30% after this transaction by applying as the next of kin.
Waiting to hear from you immediately,Mr.Richard Koffi
