Subject: This business is legal
Dear sir,
Greetings and thanks for your mail. Please this business is not a gimmick. It is real, genuine and very profitable.
I am happy that you are ready to work with me. Note that as you are working with me, you are also helping yourself because at the end, you will gain immensely - since you have a share which of the money.
I wish to tell you that this transaction needs urgency, truth, trust, sincerity, commitment and confidentiality. We must observe these principles in order to succeed. I want you to see this transaction as a mutual benefit for both of us and not as my personal problem. All of us must show commitment to make the project a huge success because at the end both of us will gain tremendously.
Meanwhile these are the steps we have to take to actualize the transaction as directed by the bank official in charge of international operations in Bank of Africa, (BOA) Abidjan , Cote D'ivoire where the fund was deposited:
1: LEGAL BACKING -
I am going to back up the transaction legally with an attorney so that no authority will question the funds. You will be presented as the beneficiary and next of kin to Late Mr. Morris Thompson and court/legal documents will be obtained to support the claims since Mr. Morris Thompson died without leaving a WILL or a traceable next of kin.
I will consult and pay a high court attorney or justice of peace to get the legal documents which will confirm you as the beneficiary of the funds. The documents are very costly but I will take care of the expenses. They are 'the letter of administration without a "WILL' and 'the affidavit of facts'.
I will send copies of the documents to you as soon as the lawyer gets them.
2: APPROVALS -
After obtaining the court documents, the next step would be getting approvals and foreign exchange allocation from the federal ministry of finance. This will cost me money too. In this country, obtaining official documents is not easy without spending money especially when it involves transfer of huge sums of money as in this our project, but you don't have to worry as I am going to take care of the expenses.
3: SIGNING OF THE FOREIGN PAYMENT VOUCHER.
- Third stage will be the issuing of final approval by the bank of africa for the transfer of the funds. At this stage, you will be required to sign the final fund release order documents or foreign payment voucher in the presence of the management of my bank. This is a statutory obligation on the beneficiary and if such document is not signed, the bank will not transfer the funds.
After signing the final fund release order, if your bank operates the fund will be transferred to your nominated account within 48 hours. Once you confirm receipt of the money in your account I will get the vital travel documents and immigrate to your country to meet you for sharing and investment of the funds. I want you to know also that I want to invest my own share of the money in any business you may recommend and I hope that you will help me to find a better investment to invest on.
Therefore send to me without delay, your full address, direct phone and fax numbers including your nominated a/c information where you want the funds to be transferred. An empty account is okay.
Please don't be offended to answer the following questions:
a) How old are you?
b) Are you married?
c) What is your position in place of work?
d) Are you sure that you can handle this transaction and give a better advice when the need arises?
e) I need your direct phone number(mobile) as there may be the need to call you at any time.
Thanks and remain blessed.
Regards
Vincent Koma
