Subject: Hello my friend,
Hello my friend,
I am Mr. Felix Mbaye, an accountant officer with My Bank here in Dakar
Sengal. I gathered your information from my country's international chamber
of trade and commerce,
The business I am about to introduce is based on sheer trust and with a
sense of purpose.I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the sum of
($7.2M)u.S dollars.
The money and property left behind by Dr.Solomon who died accidentally On
the 21st of April 2000, Dr Solomon Komana, his wife and their two Children
were killed by rebels on the past crisis in Liberia during the Time of their
formal president Charles Taylor near their village called Kuru .
I gathered all this information through a good source after my several
routine note to his forwarding address. Because he had served here in Dakar
Senegal as a business consultant with the Senegalaise National Petroleum &
Gas Corperation.SNPGC and a special ass advise to the OPEC.
Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy here in Dakar
senegal to locate any of his extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you as his
account officer to work with you before the fund get confiscate or declared
unserviceable by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly.
Now the management has been dlibrating on how to revert this fund to the
bank privacy and Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives
for over 3 years now,I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin
to the deceased since you are a foriegner so that the proceeds of this
account valued at $7.200,000:00 can be paid to you and then you and I can
share the money. 50% to me and 40% to you, while 10% will be maped out for
any miscellaneous expenses that might incure in the cause of this
transaction.
I have all the necessary legal documents to back up this claim, and this I
must do to make sure that this fund is not wasted or end up in the wrong
hands. All I require is your honest and sincere co-operation to enable us
see this deal through.
I guarantee you that this transaction will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you and I from any breach of the law.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr Felix Mbaye.
