Greeting,
My name is Mr Paul Dickson, I am working as the credit manager with one of the leading bank here in abidjan cote d’ivoire west africa. I am contacting you of a business transfer, of a huge amount of fund which was deposited to our bank by a deceased customer Mr.Allan P.Seaman.
Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that everything will be taking care of by me since i am in the position to give the necessary information of moving this fund in to your account, I decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.
PROPOSITION; Mr. Allan P. Seaman, a foreigner, and an industrialist, and he died, since 1995. and 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 Allan P. Seaman until his death was the manager Diamond Safari [pty]. SA.
Since his death, none of his next-of-kin are alive to make claims for this fund as his heir, because they all died in the same accident himself and his wife(May their soul rest in peace). We cannot release these fund unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking and security guidelines.
Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be carefully worked out by me for the fund to be released in your favour as the deceased depositor next of kin, because after ten years the fund will be called back to the bank treasury as unclaimed properties. So it is on this note i decided to seek for your cooperation by presenting you with certified documents to the bank as the next of kin to the deceased.
It may interest you to know that i have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries. Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavor by furnishing me with the following information if you are interested:
1 A Beneficiary name.In order for me to prepare the document for transfer of the treasure in your name.
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers.
We will start the first transfer with FIVE million [$5,000.000] upon successful transfer without any disappoint from your side, we shall
re-apply for the payment of the remaining rest amount to your account.
The total amount is $35.million usd.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, please endeavor to contact me immediately.please also send down your direct telephone number for easy commnication as soon as you receive this mail to enable me call you and give you more informations.you advice to contact me on my private email: jimjim200200@yahoo.fr <mailto:jimjim200200@yahoo.fr>
Best Regards,
Mr Paul Dickson
