Dear
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of Banque internationale de Abidjan (BIAO). I am writing for your support and assistance to carry out this transaction .
In my department i discovered an abandoned sum of $5.2m US dollars Five million, Two hundredthousand U.S dollars) .In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in a concord plane crash in the year 2000 at paris that almost took the whole life of the passengers on board. Since our bank got the information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation tothe deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines, but unfortunately we learnt thatall his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobodybehind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this businessproposal 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 moneyto go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill. The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after seven years, the money will be transfered into the Bank treasury account as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customerwas a foreigner and an Ivoirean cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.I agree that 40 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, and 60 % would be for me . There after I will visit your country for disbursement accoding to thepercentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of thisfund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceasedindicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be remitted .
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application. I will not failto bring to your notice that this transaction is risk 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 youreceive this letter. Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
DR. UBAH ZUO 0022507605509
