FROM MS.SARAH AMUDO
ACCOUNTS / OPERATION DEPARTMENT,
OF A BANK IN ABIDJAN
COTE D'IVORE (IVORY COAST)
Dear Sir,
Compliments of the day and how are you today I hope you are fine. Before I
proceed I would like to introduce my self to you.
My name is MS.SARAH AMUDO, a staff in accounts/ operation department of of a
BANK in ABIDJAN COTE D' IVOIRE. I have an urgent and very confidential
business proposition for you. I got your contact from the world trade centre
(W.T.C.) regional office in ABIDJAN COTE D' IVOIRE the details of my
intention was not made known to them.
On June 6 2001, An oil consultant / contractor with the ABIDJAN COTE
D'IVOIRE National Petroleum Corporation, MR CACAO AMMARI, made a numbered
time(fixed) deposit for twelve calendar valued at US$ 8,000,000.000( Eight
Million united states dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we
sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contact employers COTE
D'IVOIRE National Petroleum Corporation that MR CACAO AMMARI, died in auto
crash along with his entire family.
On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all
attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that MR CACAO AMMARI , did not declare any next
of kin in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork.
This sum of US$ 8,000,000.00 is still sitting in the Bank and the interest
is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one
will come forward to claim it.
According to the ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE Law, at the expiration of 6 (six)
years, the money will revert to the ownership of the COTE D'IVOIRE
Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Consequently, my proposal
is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to MR
CACAO AMMARI,so that the fruits of this old mans labour will not get into
the hands of some corrupt government officials.
As am still working in this Bank, what we have to do is very simple. You
will send to me your complete names, address and information’s which I will
secretly programme in the computer account file of late MR CACAO AMMARI , as
his registered associate/next of kin before his death and who is entitle to
inherit the deposit encase of death.
After that, I will send to you a text of an application letter for claim
which you will reprepare your self and submit it to the banking and
operation unit of our bank for their approval, for the successful releasing
and transfer of the fund to your account in your country.
May I inform you that secrecy and honest should be a base for the success of
this transaction, base on this, Me and you are much expected to keep this
business very secret and confidential.
I am promising that as soon as we get this fund transferred into your
account, I will give to you 40% of the total sum as a compensation for your
full assistance, while 60 % will be for me and I will be interested in
investing part of my own share in a good investment in your country.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email
address below or up. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more
details that will help you understand the deal very well. Please observe
utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most
profitable
for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in
your country.
Best regards,
MS.SARAH AMUDO
