Full Details;

He died in a plane crash on his way to Ivory coast to clear off his containers from the sea port. Prior to the discovery of this consignment, there was no trace of claim from any person(s) over the consignment according to my investigations and the deposit file, this consignment had been deposited under our bank Escrow security department for five years and since this transaction falls within my office, i kept the information top secret to enable me search for a foreign trustworthy person like you who can claim and repatriate the consignment abroard in his/her name as a family beneficiary to Mr. Williams Jones, i have the intention to retire my appointment after the repatriation of the consignment to you through our controlling security office abroard to enable me joing you in your country for joint investment deal.
Initial proceedings, upon confirmation of your interest, you would need to send an application to us for the release/repatriation of the consignment to your nominated destination any where in the world through our associate abroard, i have the original copy of the death registration certificate of our deceased customer, the deposit agreement certificate of the consignment in that case, all i require of you is to indicate your interest, ability to clear this consignment off our security vault here in africa which most be done first before the repatriation proceedings to enable the bank security department release the consignment to you through our associate abroard.

As a matter of fact, i could have carried out this deal alone but for the fact that i am a senior staff in this bank, it will be impossible for me alone to carry out the deal without the assistant of a reliable foreign partner and it would therefore look suspicious of me as a staff in this bank to come forward as to claim the consignment hence i decided to contact a second party and i am happy it is you as you can see, these are the actual reasons why this transaction requires your urgent assistance and can not be done without your assistance. On conclusion, i shall meet you up in your country upon the final release of the consignment to you as to enable us manage the consignment into estate ventures.
