Subject: Interesting Business Proposal...
From: Kofi E. Nene,
Badalona, Spain.
Tel: 0034 68523 6491
Dear Sir,
I have a proposal for you - this however is not mandatory nor will I in
any manner compel you to honour against your will.
I am 50yrs old, and work as a senior director with the Uganda Ministry of Mining and Natural Resources.
In our record, we have a contractor dormant record for the past 8 years which belong to an American national who is now late Mr & Mrs Raymond Beck who died on EgyptAir Flight 990
please check reference (<http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm>).
Recently, i discovered that there is an unpaid contract work to Late Mr. Raymond Beck,
for this long period, I decided to carry out a system investigation and discovered that non of the family member nor relations of the late persons is aware of his record with us.
This is the story in a nutshell.
What i want us to do is these...I will file you in as the next of kin and the beneficiary of this fund.
But you should be able to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank
account immediately to receive this money, even an empty account can serve to receive this money as long as you will remain honest to me till the end for this important business trusting in you and believing that you will never let me down either now or in future. I have all the details and will file you in if you are really willing. Your major role would be to open a bank account where the funds will be transferred and stand as the original next of kin and the beneficiary of this fund.
It is a careful network and for the past eleven months I have worked out the plan step by step to ensure a hitch-free operation.
Thereafter, I had planned to destroy all related documents to avoid any trace.
The total amount to be transfered is US$ 2.5 million (US dollars).
Your share of the fund will be 20% of the amount transfered into your account and
the rest 80% will be for me and my colleagues.
Now our questions are:-
1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can we give you this trust?
Please note that all expensis during the process of this transaction will be taken care of by me
and my colleagues.
Although as public officers, the law do not permit us to have a foreign account
and this is the more reason why we need your assistance. Consider this and get back at us as soon as possible.
Finally, it is my humble prayer that the information as contained herein be accorded the necessary attention, urgency as well as the secrecy it deserves. I Expect your urgent response if you can handle this project. Call me at this direct line 0034 68523 6491.
I am presently undergoing a course program at a University here in Spain and i have everything under the control of my partners at home.
So, please call or email me and we will proceed from there on.
Respectfully yours,
Kofi E. Nene,
Badalona, Spain.
