Bank in COTE D'IVOIRE in West Africa. Forgive
myindignation if this message comes to you as a surprise.
AS IT MAY INTEREST YOU TO KNOW, I GOT YOUR IMPRESSIVE INFORMATION THROUGH THE INTERNET SEARCH HERE IN COTE D'IVOIRE.
I have decided to contact you on a project that will be very beneficial
toboth of us.During our auditing in this Bank,I came across some amount of money belonging to a deceased foreigner Mr.Sheu Yuan-dong who died with hiswife and their only daughter on February 16,1998 in a plane crash.The fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund n our custody from his relation before my discovery to this
development.
He was the Governor of Taiwan Central(Reserve)Bank.The said amount is U.S$10.5, 000.00 dollars(Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand

FOR YOUR INFORMATION BEEN YOU NOT A TAIWANESE WILL NOT POSE ANY PROBLEM FOR THE SUCESSFUL TRANSFER OF THIS FUND INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.
All the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the Bonafide
next of kin to thedeceased has been put in place and directives will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and also benefit your self to this great busine opportunity.
In this country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to
operate aforeign account. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin to the Bank and alsopresent a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request.
Our Banking law stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after
sevenyears, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as
unclaimed fund.The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business
is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a
Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin. I dont want this money to go into the Bank treasury asunclaimed Bill. Be assured this transaction is 100% risk free.
On conclusion of this Project, you will be entitled to 35% of the total
sumas gratification,while 60% will be for me. AND the rest of the 5%
will be forany expenses that we may occur during this transaction. Please you have beenadviced tokeep "topsecret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after I conclude this deal with you.
I will fly down to your country forsubsequent sharing of the fund
according to percentagespreviously indicatedand further investment will be discussed. On your acceptance to be my partner, please email for a brief discussion before we proceed. Please keep this proposal secret, even if you dont want to assist me. I look forward toreceive your urgent reply.
URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED.
