Dearest=20
with due respect and humility, I write to you this proposal. I am the m=
anager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of Ivo=
rian first bank plc. Abidjan. I am writing following the impressive inf=
ormation about you, l got your contact in my quest for a reliable and c=
apable person to assist me in this deal, can i trust your capability an=
d reliability to champion this business opportunity. In my department,
I discovered an abandoned sum of U.S $11,5000,000m us dollars (eleven m=
illion five hundred thousand us dollars). In an account that belongs to=
one of our foreign customer who died in the world trade centre along w=
ith his entire family on 11 September 2001 in New York. Since we got in=
formation about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to co=
me forward and claim his money because we cannot release it unless some=
body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indic=
ated in our banking guidelines and policies but unfortunately we learnt=
that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him =
at ugly attack at the world trade centre leaving nobody behind for the =
claims. It is therefore upon this discovery that i have decided to make=
this business proposal to you to transact this deal with you and to ac=
t as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequ=
ent disbursement since nobody is coming forth and l don=92t want this m=
oney to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
According to our banking policies and guideline here, which stipulates =
that if such money remained unclaimed after six years, the money will a=
utomatically be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund.
My request for a foreigner to ac t as next of kin in this business is b=
y the fact that the customer was a
foreigner and a citizen of this country cannot stand or put claims as n=
ext of kin to a foreigner. L agreed
to offer 30% of the total fund to you, for your assistance, to act as t=
he next of kin to the
foreigner, to provide account, 10% will be for reimbursement of any exp=
enses incurred during the curse of the transaction.=20
There after, my family and I will visit your country for disbursement a=
nd for investment in your country. Therefore to enable the immediate tr=
ansfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the ban=
k as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name,=
your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for ea=
sier and effective communication and location where the money will be t=
ransfer. Upon receipt of your reply, i will send to you by fax or email=
the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice t=
hat this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain an=
y atom of fear, as all required arrangements have been made for the tra=
nsfer.=20
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive through this m=
y alternative email account princebankole49@breakthru.com
hope to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
Prince Bankole
