Subject: For your consideration.
Dear Sir
I am Mr.Coumba Kebe, i work with a financial establishment, in Dakar Senegal. Our firm is a frontline finance firm with clients all over the World. We are an independent financial institution with most secure operation in keeping financial deposits secret from any sort investigation. Our regulated position has attracted all manner of clientele to our organisation including heads of various governments, top-level executives, diplomats,etc requiring secrecy for their assets.
One of our clients, Late General Robert Guei, who was before his death, a former Head of State in Cote D’ Ivorie, had over fifty Million pounds lodged with us. On his death, his heir (Son) put a claim for his money and my firm paid him off in line with his request. However, his son did not know that his father had Eleven million United States Dollars (USD11Million) paid into an escrow coded account which is different with us. I therefore made further investigations and discovered that General Guei did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank deposit paperwork in my firm. This sum of USD11Million is still with us and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.
No one has and will ever come forward to claim it. According to ECOWAS law, at the expiration of 7 (seven) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Senegal Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. I have succeeded in consolidating the secured. Based on my position in this firm and with the collaboration of our CEO. We have kept the facts of this case closely to ourselves alone. The reason I have decided to contact you is because we are quite certain we can move these funds out immediately but would need your assistance. What this requires is that you open a premium account with us and we will simply make an internal database transfer of the funds to your account and destroy the data of the transfer immediately it is done. You will see your new balance in escrow and put in a claim to have your money transferred out for urgent business deal.
However, due to the fact that my firm would not entertain your request to open an account without a worthy referral from one of the existing customers, I have without divulging any facts spoken to one of our clients to give the referral as at when due. On grounds that you agree to do this with us. The money will be shared as we shall agree upon mutually. it is quite necessary that these are kept as private as possible for its successive completion within days.
Please contact me to enable us agree on the details of accomplishing this hitch free as already perfected. Once we reach agreement all information to help you claim the asset will be made available to you as at when due.
Mr. Coumba Kebe
