Dear Sir/Madam,
I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise as we have never met before.My name is Miss.Julie Ann Kone .I am the bill and exchange manager in African Development Bank Of Ivory Coast Annex.I Hoped that you will not expose or betray this trust and confident that I am about to repose on you for the mutual benefit of our both families.
I am writing in respect of a foreign customer(Mr.Lee Eunhee) of our Bank who perished along with his next of kin with Korean Air Line, flight number 801 with the whole passengers on 6th of August 1997 and for your perusal you can view this site http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9708/06/guam.passenger.list
Since the demise of this our customer, I personally has watched with keen interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his funds of US$8.3M (Eight Million Three Hundred Thoudsand United States Dollars) which has been with our branch for a very long time. On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the Next of Kin since nobody is coming for the fund again.The Banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than 10 years, because the money will be recalled to the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund after this period.
In view of this I got your contact through the internet when I was making a research on a foreigner that I will use in this great opportunity because i dont want the money to be recalled to our Bank treasury as uncliamed fund.I have also agreed to offer 40% of the total sum and the rest 60% will be for me.
The reason for a foreigner in the business is for the fact that the deceased man was a foreigner and it is not authorized by the law guiding our Bank for a citizen of this country to make the claim of the fund.So the request of you as a foreigner is necessary to apply for the release and transfer of the fund smoothly into your reliable Bank account as the surving relation to the deceased.
If you are really sure of your integerity, trustworthy and
confidentiality, and accept not to cheat or disappoint me after this business, reply with your telephone and fax numbers and banking account details where you wish to receive the fund.
Upon receipt of the above mentioned informations,indicating your interest in the business,I will send you by fax or e-mail a letter of application which you will type and send back to our bank to enable us start this transaction. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch free and dont have any negative impact.You should not entertain any fear as all modalities for the smooth and easy transfer of this fund has been finalized, this transaction will be completed within 14 bank working days immediately we start the business.
Waiting for your urgent response and please kindly delete if you are not interested.
Regards,
Miss.Julie Ann Kone.
African Development Bank.
