>From Mr Abdulahi Umer,
I beg your excuse for the inconveniences this mail may cause to you .I am Mr
Abdulahi Umar a Banker and accountant with our bank here in Abidjan. I am
the personal accounts manager to one of our clients, a Nationality of china,
who owned a construction company here in Ivory Coast (Cote D'Ivoire). My
client, his wife, and their three children were involved in the ill fated
earthquake that happens in china which about 34,000 peoples died. Since
then I have made several inquiries to embassies to locate any of my clients
extended relatives but has been unsuccessful.
After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relation over
the Internet, to see if I could locate any member of his family hence I
contacted you. Of particular interest is this huge deposit with our bank
here in, where the deceased has an account valued at about ($10.5,million US
dollars). They have issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or the
bank will declare the account unserviceable and thereby send the funds to
the bank treasury. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives
for over last 2 years now, I will seek your consent to present you as the
next of kin of the deceased since you are from the same country with him, so
that the proceeds of this account valued at ($10.5,million US dollars) can
be paid to you and then you and I can share the money 50 / 50
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through
I guarantee that this will be executed under all legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. In your reply mail, I want you
to give me your full names, address, date of birth, telephone and fax
numbers. If you can handle this with me.
Thanking you for your anticipated cooperation. Please send further response
