Subject: From Ms Mariam Ibrahim, Appeal for your Assistance.
From Ms Mariam Ibrahim ,
B F A BANK Cote D' Ivoire.
Dearest,
Compliments of the season and how you are today I hope fine. Before I
proceed I would like to introduce my self to you. My name is Ms Mariam
Ibrahim , a staff of the above BANK.I have urgent and confidential business
preposition for you.
On September 2nd 1998, an oil contractor with the ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE
National Petroleum Corporation Engeneer Caripides , William made a numbered
time (fixed) deposited for twelve calendar valued at US9M 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 Engeneer
Caripides , William died in plane 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 Engeneer Caripides William did not
declare any next of kin in all his official documents, including his Bank
Deposit paperwork. This sum of US$9.000.000.00 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 8 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 Engeneer Caripides ,
William so that the fruits of this old man labour will not get into the
hands of some corrupt government officials.
As an Accountant and a staff of this BANK, What we have to do is simple if
you ad heir to my instructions. You will send to me your complete names,
address and information’s which I will secretly programme in the computer
account file of late Engeneer Caripides, William in our bank as his
registered associate before his death and who is entitle to inherit the
deposit encase of his death. When this money is paid into your account, you
take 50% share of the total sum and 50% will before me. You will also help
me to invest my own share in your country. I will give you more details upon
receipt of your response.
Looking forward to see your urgent response.
Best regards,
Ms Mariam Ibrahim
