Subject: Business proposal
From The Desk Of Of Sami Lanner
The Head Of File Department,
Citi Bank New Zealand
Wellington- New Zealand.
( REMITTANCE OF $25 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE")
Compliment Of The Season,
On a very good day. I am Sami Lanner,The Head of file Department in
Citi Bank New Zealand.I got your contact from tourist search.
When i was searching for a foreign partner i assured of your capability
and reliability to champion this businees opportunity.In my department we discovered and abandoned Five million U.S.A dollars (us$25m) . In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family on (Monday 31st July 2000) in a
plane crash. PLANE CRASH WEB
SITE...http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his
next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it
unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relationto the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines, but unfortunately we learnt that
all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the
plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and one official in my
department now decided to make this businness proposal to you and
release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to
the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is
comingfor it and we don’t want this money to go into the bank treasury
as unclaimed bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money
remained unclamed after seven years, the money will be transfered into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in
this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner,
and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree that 30
% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the
provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incured
during the business and 60 % would be f or me and my woman colleague. There
after i will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages
indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer of this fund to you as
arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin
of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your
private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication
and location where the money will be remitted.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 that this transaction is hitch free and that
you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have
beenmade for the transfer.
I hope to receive your reply soon
Your’s faithfully,
Sami Edison lanner
