Subject: Detailed Clarification and please call me +234 1 89 75 729.
Dear Amarjit Sing,
Thank you so much for your response to my mail to you. I want you to know that this transaction is 100% real and legal. Please go through this mail for you to understand this transaction before we start.
Let me go straight to explain more on the event that led to this before I expatiate on the project proper. The deceased customer, Mr. Wahid Yoffe was a big customer of this Trade Bank Plc (where I work), he operated a coded account with us and died in this recent Tsunami that happede in Indonesia when he was on vacation.
He was born in Bandung in 1929 of Indonesian parents from Bandung but he was fully known as American in our bank because he married and stayed in America. He was a Civil Engineer who had handled so many projects here in West Africa. He had a wife named Mrs. Jennifer Yoffe and two children ofcourse all of them were together in the same tragedy.
The above is quite a few of his bio-data but if you need some more specific information on him or clarification please go ahead and ask as I just cannot figure out the precise information or details that you would want to know.
You must understand that in the banking industry chances or opportunities like this are common but not heard. People put their monies in banks and some of these accounts are either coded or confidentially operated, therefore, when such people die what do you think that happens to these monies when nobody comes for their claims? Well, this is one of the numerous avenues good free monies are made within and amongst the bankers. I did not master mind Mr. Wahid Yoffe's death and I did not operate or manage his account, if there was something that I could have done officially to have this money sent to his real relatives independent of the bank management, believe me, I would have done it.
Normally, when something like this happens in the bank, it is reported to the management. The Management can only wait for some years for a next of kin to show up without publishing it or making it public because of course, false claimants must definitely show up.
Therefore, it is not published and the bank only waits for the real heir to show up as the availability of such funds are expected to be in the late customers will which would be the only source of knowledge of it by anybody who is entitled to such estate. So the bank gives some years for this, and if no claimant comes forward then the Management sends the money to the Debt Re-conversion Department and the account is closed.
Now the question is, who runs the Debt Re-conversion Department and who is the Management? The answer is simple. The Chairman, Managing Director and Board members. These are individuals and these monies are shared by them and nobody asks questions period. In fact these issues are not even discussed outside board meetings. To explain myself properly, I am not a board member and of course, I am not part of the Management and I am not rich, therefore, if I have this opportunity and throw it to the wolves, then I must be the stupidest the most foolish-man that has ever lived.
I have fully put everything in place and since this is an opportunity open to anybody, we do not see anything wrong or fraudulent in what we are doing as long as we are not hurting who should not be hurt period. I can only tell you that it is just destiny that brought us together. You are a human being and you can draw your own judgement from the above explanations.
Because I am quite sure of what I am doing that is why I am committing all in this project because I know what the catch is and it is worth it, my conscience is clear and I have no genuine reason to worry about the dead. The procedure of establishing the next of kin would be taken care of by me since this has to be certified by my office, do not worry about this.
However, this project involves a large sum of money and I would want you to take your time before we commence. I occupy a very sensitive position here in the bank and I want to be very careful so that the project is closed very smoothly and successfully.
I need your response as soon as possible so that I will know what your position is before I give you details of the project. You can understand that the money in question is huge so we both have to be very careful and sure of what we are doing before we commence. I will explain how this payment is going to be processed and paid into your account in my next mail.
As soon as you state your position in this transaction I will send to you all the information needed and the Payment Application Form to you for completion and submission, this will automatically signal the commencement of the transaction as all other procedures will be forwarded to you as well.
Confirm this message by calling me on +23418975729. this projet remains confidential.
I hope to get your urgent reply.
Mr. Sam Godwin.
