Subject: With warm heart I offer my friendship and greetings,
With warm heart I offer my friendship and greetings, may the blessings and
peace of God be upon you and upon your family. And I hope this mail meets
you in good health. However strange or surprising this contact might seem to
you as we have not met personally or had any dealings in the past, I humbly
ask that you take due consideration of its importance and the immense
benefit it will be to you and I in the nearest future.
After careful deliberation and consideration with my colleagues we resolved
to contact you for your most needed assistance in this manner. On the other
hand, I duly apologize for infringing on your privacy if this offer/contact
is notacceptable to you, as I personally make this proposal to you as a
person of integrity.
In a nut shell, the purpose of my writing to you exclusively is that I want
to pull out an unclaimed fund amounted to the total sum of Seven million,
five hundred thousand Euros that belong to one of our late Customer, who
died in an accident some years back.
Ever since we gathered the information about his death, we have been
expecting any of his relatives, collaborators or next of kin to visit our
bank and put claim to the fund, but up till this time of writing, no next of
kin or relation of him has come forward to claim his money with us.
Therefore, I need your maximum co-operation and reliable assistance by just
doing the following for me:
1. Given an immediate reply to this proposal upon receipt of it and agree
with my terms.
2. Provide your direct private telephone and fax number for effective
communication.
3. You willact as the next of kin, relation or business collaborator to the
deceased customer.
For your co-operation and efforts 35% of the money will be for you as our
foreign partner, 63% will be for my colleagues and myself that will
eventually visit your country for disbursement of our fund portion, while 2%
will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and also
telephone communication bills.
Furthermore, I need your assistance and co-operation to get this deal done.
Because as a foreigner, you stand a better position to be presented through
documentation as the next of kin/Partner since the deceased is also a
foreigner, this is the reason why I could not do this deal alone as a
Burkinabè. As a matter of fact, it is pertinent to inform you that all
modalities have been accomplished and all logistics in good shape to effect
payment immediately.
Looking forward to a mutual beneficial business relationship. I will prefer
allfurther communication and future correspondences in English language.
While I strongly advise you to treat this communication with top maturity
and confidentiality for future prospect. Preferably and advisably, show up
your willingness and readiness to assist me in this bussiness by replying
this email immediately.
Upon receipt of your quick and positive response, I will equally send you
all the vital information concerning the deceased person himself, my own
contact information/CV, detail information of the paying bank here in
Burkina Faso and all other coverage that you might needed to achieve 100%
success at the end of the whole deal.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Rahman Ahmed.
