Attention:
Dear Partner
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
My name is Malick Diop, I am the chief accountant of a commercial bank in Dakar,Senegal. This transaction am about to start with is a very serious transaction, we (my colleague and me) have been working on this particular project for the past three (3) years now and we have committed a lot into this transaction to bring to the level it is right now and advise you to handle this transaction very serious and confidential. We need your support and assistance to conclude this transaction as we cannot do it alone hence we are all still working under the bank.
PROPOSITION;
I am the account officer of a foreigner (name withheld) who died in an air crash along with his wife on the 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian
airline 990 with other passengers on board. You can confirm this from the website below which was published by CNN.WEBSITE: http://edition.cnn.com/US/9910/31/missing.plane.02/
Since his death, none of his next-of-kin are alive to make claims for this money as his heir, because they all died in the same accident. We cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be carefully worked out by me here before the application ,approval and transfer of the funds into your account.The basic reason i want to claim this money with your assistance is because after 6 years the money will be called back to the bank treasury as unclaimed bills and the money shared amongst the directors of the bank. so it is on this note i decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the next of kin/beneficiary to this funds rather than allow the bank directors to share this money amongs themselves at the end of the period.
It may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries. Please acknowledge receipt of this message on your acceptance of our mutual business endeavor by furnishing me with the following information if you are interested.
1.Your full name and address In order for me to prepare the PAPER WORK for transfer of the funds in your name.
2.Details particulars of your bank account
3.Your direct Telephone and fax numbers;.For our personal contact.
Upon your willingness to assist me then i shall tell you the total amount and we will discuss and agree on a sharing formular.If this proposal is acceptable by you, please endeavor to contact me via this email.Please keep every communication confidential until the process is over.
Thanks and best regards,
Malick Diop
