Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Mr/Mrs/Miss=2C=20?=
Mr/Mrs/Miss,
I wish to inform you that this mail should be handled as a very important
one and treated seriously. We want to transfer to an overseas account the
sum of $6,250.000.00 (Six million two hundred and fifty thousand United
States Dollars) from a prime Bank here in Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire.In contacting
you, I am convinced that you can handle this transaction to the satisfaction
of all parties involved.
I am Mr. Adama Toure Innocent working in one of the banks here in Abidjan
Cote d'Ivoire.I am the accounts officer to the account of Mr. Pierre Jean
Claude, a French national who was killed by the rebels due to his support
for this present government. During a routine check on files in my department,
I discovered that the owner of the account died without a next of kin. He
was a divorcee, which proves to me that nobody knows about the existence
of such account or the amount in it. If we do not remit this fund out immediately
it will be forfeited to the bank as unclaimed fund if the management of
the bank knows about his death and the status of the account and the amount
involved. This is a normal policy of banks here.
I guarantee you that this transaction will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. l will personally
ensure that all documents concerning the account is well taken care of,
immediately you receive this fund, leaving no trace to any place or person.
I will also use my position and influence to obtain all legal documents
and approvals that will facilitate the hitch-free transfer of this fund
into your account with the appropriate clearance from the relevant ministries
and high court of justice including that of the central bank here.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 30% of the total amount
and 70% will be for us. All expenses incurred in the process of this transaction
will be reimbursed before the sharing of the fund. Please treat this mail
as very important and do not disclose this information to the bank officials
when they contact you or while applying for the fund transfer into your
designated bank account.
I look forward to your earliest reply.
Best Regards,
