Subject: Good Day,
Good Day,
I am Mr. John Mushiringa of one of the prime bank in Abidjan, Ivory Coast; I
am asking for your co-operation to present you to my bank as a beneficiary
to my deceased client, before his death, he has a bank balance with my bank
of about ($17.4 M.), He is late Mr. Morris Thompson, a businessman based
here in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
He died on 16 September 2007 in air crash along with his wife in Phuket
International Airport, southern Thailand with Flight 269 with other
passengers on board.
No other person knows about this account. The Strategy is to use our
influence as staff of the bank to approve the fund to you as the next of kin
to the deceased. And for your assistance in this deal, you will get 25% of
the total funds, while the rest will be for me and my colleague.
So if you're interested forward your full names, age, address and phone
numbers, this will enable me to contact you for further more information on
how to proceed. If you decide not to assist, just delete the message. Please
don't divulge it to anyone.
Regards,
Mr. John Mushiringa
