Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Banny Kama, I work in the Accounts/
Operations Department of a Prime banks here in
Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire. I actually have an urgent and
very confidential business proposal for you. I got
your contact from Internet and decided to contact
you immediately.
On January 30th 2000, An American Oil Consultant/
Contractor with the Societe Ivoirienne De Raffinage (SIR),
Mr. George Edward, made a number time (fixed)
deposits valued at US$8,750,000 (Eight Million,
Seven Hundred & Fifty Thousand United States Dollars). On
investigation, it was discovered that Mr. Edward died
along with his family in a plane crash.
On further investigation, I discovered that Mr. George
Edward did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace
his Next of Kin proved abortive. I therefore made
further investigation and discovered that Mr. Edward
did not declare any Next of Kin in all his official
documents, including his Bank Deposit paper work. This
sum of US$8,750,000 is still floating in the Bank and
the interest is being rolled over with the principal
sum at the end of each year. For the past 5 to 6 years
now, no one has ever come forward to claim the fund.
According to the Ivoireinne Laws, at the expiration
of 6 (six) years, the money will revert to the
ownership of the Ivoireinne Government if nobody applies
to claim the funds. That is what gave way to this deal.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a
foreigner to stand in as the Next of Kin to Mr. George
Edward so that the fruits of this old man's labour will
not get into the hands of some government officials.
To facilitate the transaction therefore:
1. I would like you to provide me with a viable account
details where this fund could be safely transferred
into as Next of Kin of the former depositor.
2. We do not anticipate any risk/problem whatsoever,
as all the loopholes has been taken care of and there is
no risk involved in this deal. All the Computer work for
this transaction will be done by me, including your
name as the new Beneficiary of this fund.
You will be entitled to 30% of the total amount as your
commission after the transaction. If you are interested
and capableof handling this deal, please call me
immediately or write. On receipt of your response, I
shall then provide you with more details on how to go
about it.
Please note that this is very confidential. And as I
am still a staff with the bank here. I would not like
to be known or mentioned as having knowledge of the
deal but I will be giving you inside information on
what to do.
Awaiting your urgent reply. You should call me on this
number: Tel: +22507711719 or send email to me. Do not
forget to include your direct telephone and fax numbers
for further communication.
Faithfully Yours,
Mr. Banny Kama
Tel +22507711719.
