Subject: Get Back To Me Asap.
Dear friend,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this letter. I am Mr.Ibou
Idrissa, the director of Assets and Treasures in a deposit company where I
work. I am writing you this letter to seek your partnership
co-operation in receiving a total amount of $4.1M (Four Million,one Hundred
Thousand United States dollars) which was deposited with our company here in
Senegal. This total amount was deposited as a family treasure with my
company by late Mr.Samuel Dokie, a Liberian citizen and personal aid to
President Charles Taylor.
Mr.Samuel Dokie,his wife and two Children were killed by rebels loyal
to the President near Kuru village during the past crisis in Liberia.
Since the untimely death of Mr.Samuel Dokie and his family, the
management of my company has mandated my office to make several enquiries to
locate any of his extended relatives, but no fruitful result was achieved
as all my efforts also proved unsuccessful to locate any member of his
family. Before my observation in this development, I discovered that
late Mr.Samuel Dokie did not make an HEIR/WILL.
The management has been deliberating on how to revert this fund to the
company's account since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over 3 years now. It is therefore upon this discovery that I
and my junior colleague in my department decide to seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased so that we
will quickly move this money out of Senegal to be delivered in your care
as the next of kin or relation entitled to inherit this fund.
All arrangement to move this deposited fund has been put in place and
all I require is your honest and sincere partnership co-operation to
enable us see this money secured into a reliable custody. As an insider in
the company, I have all the necessary legal documents that will back
up the claim of this deposit and I guarantee you that this fund movement
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect both
of us from any breach of the law. On smooth completion and receipt of
this total deposited fund, you will be entitled to your own share of
the total sum as gratification. We agreed that 35% of this money will be
for you as our receiving partner, while 65% would be for me and my
junior colleague.
Thereafter I will visit your country for disbursement and further
investment plans.You have been advised to keep this information a top secret
as we are still working in the company and intend to resign from
service after this money is received in your secured bank account. I shall
furnish you with further details and necessary procedures with which to
make a quick shipment progress. I suggest you get back to me
immediately through my confidential
email address (idrissaibou@mail.az) stating your wish in this
urgent matter.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation and best regards.
Yours sincerely,
Mr.Ibou Idrissa
