Subject: VERY URGENT,
Dear Friend,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, I am Mr Sylla
Tahirou auditor General.
This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly Confidential and top
secret. However I was asked to audit the bank and there I came across of sum
amount been unclaim that belong to one of the bank customer Dr George
Brumley
During the above mentioned process, I discovered the abandoned sum of
US$10.5M (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 that happened in Kenya, East Africa.
Since we got information about his death, which the bank have been expecting
his next of kin to come over and claim his money because the bank cannot
release it unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the
deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and laws but unfortunately
we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with
him at the plane crash.
Please I want you to visit the website below for more information about the
Plane Crash:
http://www.wral.com/news/2345844/detail.html
It is therefore upon this discovery that I send this business proposal to
you so that the fund can be release to you as the next of kin or relation to
the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming
for it and the bank don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as
unclaimed bill.
I agree that 50% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account where the fund will be
transfer, and 50% would be for me and there after I will visit your country
for disbursement according to the percentage indicated. Therefore, to enable
the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first
to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you by email the text of the
application to fill and send to the bank. I will not fail to bring to your
notice that this transaction is hitch-free risk and this transaction will
only take us 14 banking days because as a banker, I know what to do and move
the fund into your account without any delay and you should not entertain
any atom of fear.
You should contact me as soon as you receive this letter so that I can send
to you the text of the application.
Yours faithful.
Mr Sylla Tahirou
Auditor General,
