Subject: REQUEST FOR YOUR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP..
FROM THE DESK OF MR.ROBERT KAMARA.
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK(ANNEXE)
COTE D'VIOIRE (ABIDJAN).
My Dear,
I am the Assistant Manager of the Bill and Exchange Department, Foreign
Remittance Office of One of the Bank,in COTE D'VIOIRE (ABIDJAN). In my
department we discovered an abandoned sum of
$10.500.000US Dollars (Ten million, five hundred thousand US dollars). In an
account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his
entire family in a plane crash. Flight AF4590 which crashed shortly after
take off from Charles De Gaulle airport,outside Paris,at about 4:44 p.m.
local time July 25,2000,10.44
a.m.Eastern:-(http://www.aeronautics.ru/nws002/reuters044b.htm).
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it unless
some body 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 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 other officials in my
department now decided to make this business proposals to you and release
the money to you as 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 here
stipulates that if
such money remains unclaimed after five years, the money will be transferred
into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner in this transaction is necessary because our client
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 a foreign partner, in
respect to this provision of a foreign account 10% will be set
aside for expenses that you may incurre in the cause of this transaction
while 60% will be for me and my only colleague, after which we shall visit
your country for disbursement according to the percentage dictated above.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arrange,
you must apply first to the bank, and send your account number, your private
telephone and fax number for easy and affective Communication and location
where the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or E- mail the text of
the application Form. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction is risk-free as all required arrangements have been made for the
transfer.
N/B: You can also reach me on my private line:- +22508549026.
Regards,
Mr.Robert Kamara.
