Subject: hello
From; Dr. Edwin Johnson
106 Avenue Trans Plateaux
Carta Adjamir Abidjan
Cote d’Ivoire.
Hello,
I am Dr. Edwin Johnson, the director of Atlantic Bank Plc in COTE D'IVOIRE. I got your contact in my earnest search for a trustworthy partner,who will assist me with this confidential Business offer. One Mr. Morgan Fred made a numbered time {fixed} deposit for twelve calendar months up to US$21.7 Million US Dollars in my bank.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarded address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally I discovered from his contract employers National Gold Mining Corporation of Ghana, that Mr. Morgan Fred died in a motor accident on one of his business trips in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire. On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a will and all attempts to trace his relative proved Abortive. And Mr. Morgan Fred did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paper work.
Since nobody will ever come for the claims of this fund, and bearing in mind that after six years the money will be reverted to the government treasury if nobody applies to claim the fund, it will be forfeited into the National treasury account.Based on the above, I solicit for your cooperation as a foreigner to stand in as next of kin to Late Mr. Morgan Fred and file claims for this fund.
To achieve this as planned is below;
{1} We shall employ the services of an Attorney for drafting and obtain the necessary
documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer of the
funds into your account.
{2} You should provide an account in any part of the world where this funds will be
transferred to you as the next of kin /Beneficiary to Late Mr. Morgan Fred.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of:
{1} 30% for you as the account provider
{2} 65% for me
(3) 5% will be set aside for any expenses that may occur during the process of the
transfer.
NOTE:that this transaction is 100% safe and guaranteed. There is no risk at all as all
the paper works for this transaction shall be done by the Attorney and my position as
the bank Director guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.
Please observe ultmost confidentiality and urgency. Also include your personal data
viz; names, resident/office adresses, marital status and also phone/fax numbers, for
easy communication.
My Best Personal Regards.
Dr.Edwin Johnson.
