Date: Fri, 6 Oct 2006 05:11:08 -0700 (PDT)
Subject: FROM: DR. VICTOR VINO
FROM: DR. VICTOR VINO
NO - 12 JEAN STREET
ABIDJAN - COTE D'IVOIRE.
ATTN: The Honourable,
Sir, /Madam,
I am DR. VICTOR VINO, one of the staff in charge of auditing and accounting section of a bank here in Abidjan the capital city of Cote d’lvoire, with due respect and regards. I put-up my mind to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us.
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum belonging to a deceased person who died in a plane crash on Friday, 26 December, 2003 from boarding in Cotonou the capital city of Benin Republic, the BBC News media follows the news http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3348109.stm and the fund has been dormant in his account with this bank without any claim either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.
I keep this information secret within myself to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of execution. The said amount was US$30 Million United States dollars). As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through internet when I'm searching for somebody who will help me execute this transaction successfully.
Meanwhile all the arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased has been made, To get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place, any directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to do the transaction, but I will like you to benefit this great business opportunity with me.
In fact, I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this bank as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to the bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into,.
May I at this point emphasize that this transaction is 100% risk free as I have made every arrangements for a successful deal before contacting you. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while 60% will be for me and my family.
Please, you have been advised to keep this “top secret” as we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask us to come over to your country for subsequent sharing and investment.
Other information’s would be sent to you as soon I hear from you.
Yours faithfully,
DR. VICTOR VINO
