Subject: Business Proposal
Attention My Dearest,I know that this letter may come to you as a surprise I will like to introduce my self to you. My name is Dr Makati Micheal I am the manager of bill and exchange BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A) at foreign remittance department. There is a business I would want you to champion for me In my department we have discovered an abandoned sum of ($18M.355 U.S) Eighteen million three hundred fifty five thousands US dollars) In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in 21st October 2003 in a auto accident. Since we got information about the death of our deceased customer, 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 relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin's or relation here died along side with him, leaving nobody behind for the
claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business 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 coming for 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 unclaimed after FOUR years (4yrs), the money will be transfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigners as next of kin in this business is concessionary by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an AFRICAN cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. I agreed that 20 % of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account 10 % will be set aside for expenses incured during the business and 70% would be for me. There after I will definately visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages
indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer 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 in the money will be remmited All modalities of this transaction have been carefully worked out and once started will not take more than fourteen (14) working days, with your full support. this transaction is 100% risk free it involve no any implication and no any precaution there after. 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 been made for the transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mail. Through my personal alternative email id
( dr_makatim1@yahoo.co.uk ) Trusting to hear from you immediately, Yours faith-fully, Bill and exchange manager, Bank of Africa (B.O.A)
