Dear Confidant,
I send my greeting to you and your family, My name is Mr. David Ulrich a
Banker and accountant with a bank here in Cote Ivoire.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 anyone
apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the
end of the day.
I am the personal accounts manager to late Engr.Paul Ziegler, who worked
with an oil servicing company here in Cote Ivoire.
My client, his wife, and their three children were involved in the ill-fated
Kenya Airways crash in the coasts of Abidjan in January 2000 in which all
passengers on board died. 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 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 our
country Cote Diviore, where the deceased has an account valued at about $16
million US dollars.(sixteen million dollars)Since his death, nobody has come
forward to lay claims to this money and recently my bank issued a notice
that the account will be declared unserviceable and the funds called to the
government treasury since no relative of the deceased came up.Since I have
been unsuccessful in locating the relatives over last 6 years , I will seek
your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the
proceeds of this account valued at about $16 million US dollars can be paid
to you and then you and I can share the money.
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, occupation, telephone
and fax numbers.
These information will enable me work on the account file so that you can
now apply for the release of the funds as the next of kin to the account.If
you can handle this with me, reach me immediately for more details.
Thanking you for your anticipated cooperation.
Sincerely,
Mr. David Ulrich
