Season 2007,Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise
and may offend your personality for contacting you without your prior consent
and writing through this channel.I got your contact from the proffesional data
base found in the internet Yahoo tourist search.When i was searching for
a foreign reliable partner.I assured of your capability and reliability to
champion this businees opportunity.
After series of prayers/fasting.i was divinely directed to contact you
among other names found in the data base Yahoo tourist search.I believe that
God has a way of helping who is in need.
I am (Dr Tokunbo Okoloegbo Williams Esq),the Head of file Department in
Zenith bank (ZBN).
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 15 million U.S.A dollars
( fifteen million U.S.A dollars) . In an account that belongs to one of our
foreign customer who died along with his entire family in (Monday 31st July
2000) in a plane crash. Since we got information about his death, we have
been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we
cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relati on
to the deceased as indica ted 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 one official in my department now decided to make
this businness proposal to you and release the money to you as the 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 and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclamed after five years, the money will be transfered into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this
business is occasioned by the fact that the customer 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 foreign partner, in respect to the provision of
a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incured during the
business and 60 % would be for me and my woman colleague. There after i will
visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer of this fund to you as arranged,
you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased
indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone
and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the
money will be remitted.Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax
or email the text of the application I will not fail to bring to your notice
that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any
atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
You should contact me on my cell phone number 234-8077439401 immediately as
soon as you receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you immediately
through my private Email----- (mrtnkbwilliams@myway.com). Your’s
faithfully, Dr. Tokunbo Okoloegbo Williams (Esq.)FROM (ZBN)
