Attention:
Sir,
I apologise if the contents here under are contrary to your moral
ethics.
I am Mr. Emery Ifegeme the manager of a prime bank in Africa.
I do not know you and you do not know me but for genuine
business reasons which will become obvious to you as read on,
you will understand.
I obtained Your email address from an Internet address listing
hoping and Believing God that you will be trustworthy reliable and
willing to assist me officially conclude this business deal.
Please Sir exercise some patience while you read through my
message.
I have a very urgent and confidential business proposition for you.
On June 6th 1999 an Engineer/Consultant/Contractor with a big
and Influential Multi national Oil Company and a foreigner here
made a time deposit in a bank Which I am presently the Manager.
He did not declare any next of kin in his application paper.
The money is very big and no one knows the source of this money
because apparently the time frame of his employment with the
company here in Africa does indeed preclude such a large amount
of money. It can be assumed that he brought his money over from
his country or from his previous place of work but that is open
to speculation.
However the point is that he is dead and his employers are not
aware Of this money and therefore it can be safely concluded that
no one will ever come forward to claim this money, he died in 2002.
The total sum(inclusive of accrued interests) is still sitting in my
Bank in the Dormant Account Portfolio. No one has and will ever
come forward to claim it now or in the future and according to our
banking laws after 5 years the money will automatically revert to the
Government Treasury if the Account owner is a foreigner and is
certified dead.
BUT with you as a foreigner applying for the transfer of this fund to
your nominated account anywhere in the world and all documents
backing the transfer legally secured and there is certification that
the funds being transferred are from non-criminal sources we will
have no problems.
In short this will be a proper and legal money transfer and there will
be no related risk!
We will have to process the initial paperwork to obtain approval from
the Probate Registry (Ministry of Justice) and obtain the Letter of
Administration empowering you as Sole trustee/executor to the
deceased Estate after which I will use my position and influence in
the bank to effect onward transfer of this money from our bank to
your nominated account.
If you therefore agree to be the Legal and official Beneficiary of the
fund, please note that you will be required to avail me with a bank
account (a bank account with zero Credit Balance is ok).
Your full address phone and fax,full name and brief background
information on you (CV).
As soon as I receive a positive response on your willingness to
assist me then I will initiate the processing of the transfer and in
about 7 working days the money will be in your nominated bank
account for us To share in the ratio of 50% for me and 50% for
you.
This transaction is guaranteed to success without any problems.
If you agree to assist me by sending me the above requested
Information I will give you my complete address including
phone/fax etc and any further clarifications you may require.
Looking forward to your urgent reply.
Regards,
Emery Ifegeme.
