DEAR SIR,
I AM THE MANAGER OF BILL AND EXCHANGE AT THE FOREIGN REMITTANCE
DEPARTMENT OF THE AFRICAN BANK. IN MY DEPARTMENT WE DISCOVERED AN ABANDONED
SUM OF ( US$21 million ) IN AN ACCOUNT THAT BELONGS TO ONE OF OUR FOREIGN
CUSTOMER WHO DIED ALONG WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY IN THURSDAY, 26 DECEMBER
2003.PLANE CRASH.
For details of the plane crash,please
visit:http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html
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
SOME BODY APPLIES FOR IT AS NEXT OF KIN OR RELATION TO THE DECEASED AS
INDICATED IN OUR BANKING GUIDLINES AND LAWS, 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, I NOW DECIDED TO MAKE THIS BUSINESS
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 I DON'T WANT THIS MONEY TO GO INTO THE BANK TREASURY AS
UNCLAIMED BILL. THE BANKING LAW AND GUIDINE HERE STIPULATES THAT IF SUCH
MONEY REMAINED UNCLAIMED AFTER YEARS, THE MONEY WILL BE TRANSFERED INTO THE
BANK AS UNCLAIMED BILL.
I THEREFORE AGREE THAT 40% OF THIS MONEY WILL BE FOR YOU AS FOREIGNER
PARTNER, IN RESPECT TO THE PROVISION OF A FOREIGN ACCOUNT, 10% WILL BE SET
ASIDE FOR EXPENSES INCURED DURING THE BUSINESS AND 50% WOULD BE FOR ME THERE
AFTER I WILL VISIT YOUR COUNTRY FOR DISBURSEMENT ACCORDING TO THE
PERCENTAGES 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 INDICATING YOUR BANK NAME, YOUR BANK ACCOUNT
NUMBER, YOUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER FOR EASY AND EFFECTIVE
COMMUNICATION AND LOCATION WHERE IN THE MONEY WILL BE REMITTED.
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
IMMEDIATELY AS SOON AS YOU RECIEVE THIS LETTER.
This is my private box reply here
TRUSTING TO HEAR FROM YOU IMMEDIATELY.
YOURS FAITHFULLY,
MR.PAUL GEORGE .
