Subject: Hello Dear,Get Back To Me
Hello Dear,Get Back To Me
Greetings to your family.
I hope this mail meets you well. I duly apologize if am interfering on your
privacy if this request is not acceptable to you. First, I didn't come to
you by chance nor by accident, I have come to you because your names has
planted you in the centre of relevant in my life and my professional career
as a banker at this very moment of my life. But before I go further I will
like to introduce myself to you for better understanding. My name is
Mr.Charle Mosco, Banker with a reputable bank here in Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory
Coast) and I am contacting you in regards to a business transfer of a large
sum of money from a dormant account. Though I know that a transaction of
this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring
you that all will be well at the end of the day.
I was the personal accounts manager to a deceased customer, Mr Raymond, a
foreigner, who had an account with us here in Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast).
On July 7, 2005, series of coordinated terrorist bomb blasts hit the London
Subways, resulting in the loss of more than 52 people and unfortunately my
client, his wife, and their three children were among the people that died
on that fateful day. Since then I have made several inquiries to your
embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives but has been
unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his
last name 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 my country
Cote d'Ivoire in West Africa (Ivory Coast), where the deceased has an
account valued at about (15 million British Pounds Sterling). They have
issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or our bank will declare the
account unserviceable and thereby send the funds to the bank treasury. Since
I have been unsuccessfu l in locating the relatives for the past years, I
will seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased,
since you share the same last name with the deceased so that the proceeds of
this account valued at (15 million British Pounds Sterling) can be paid to
you and then you and I can share the money.
If you will not work with me or see this mail as a scam or spam as they call
it, please endeavour to delete it and forget I ever contacted you so that I
can move on with my life, I am a family man and this is an opportunity to
provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward for this project and
it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only
risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank.
I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you
with a name that has planted you into the centre of relevance in my life.
Let's share the blessing. If you find yourself able to work with me, contact
me through this email. If you give me positive signals, I will give you the
relevant details and initiate this process towards a conclusion.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under all legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. I am the only
