Subject: FROM MISS ANiTA JOHNSON.
FROM MISS ANiTA JOHNSON.BANK OFAFRICAABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE
Dearest Beloved One,
Compliments of the season, and how you are today I hope fine. Before I proceed I would like to introduce my self to you. My name is Miss.Anita Johnson, a staff of the above BANK. I have urgent and confidential business preposition for you.
On September 2nd 1998, an oil contractor with the ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE National Petroleum Corporation Mr Burckhard, Erich.. made a numbered time (fixed) deposit for twelve calendar valued at US7M in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contact employers COTE D'IVOIRE National Petroleum Corporation that Mr Burckhard, Erich., died in plan crash along with his entire family. See belowhttp://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/WORLD/9809/swissair.victims.list/http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/WORLD/americas/9809/08/swissair.02/
On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr Burckhard, Erich.,did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork. This sum of US$7.000.000.00 is still sitting in the Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will come forward to claim it.
According to the ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE Law, at the expiration of 9 years the money will revert to the ownership of the COTE D'IVOIRE Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr Burckhard, Erich.so that the fruits of this old man labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
As an Accountant and a staff of this BANK, What we have to do is simple if you follow to my instructions. You will send to me your complete names, address and informations which I will secretly programme in the computer account file of late Mr Burckhard, Erich.,in our bank as his registered associate before his death and who is entitle to inherit the deposit encase of his death. When this money is paid into your account, you take 50% share of the total sum and 50% will be for me. You will also help me to invest my owe share in you country. I will give you more details upon receipt of your response.
Looking forward to see your urgent response Best regards, Miss. Anita Johnson.
N/B: Please let this transaction be within you andme, Don't allow the next ear to hear about it for security reasons
