Subject: I need your trusteeship
Good day,
I am Mr.Edward Bumah, Supervisor Accounts/ Audit department in Guaranty Trust Bank Plc.I am contacting you base on some funds in my bank that will soon be send to the Government central bank if no one comes forward for claims.
DR.George Brumley Jr, who was a known philanthropists to many charitable causes. The late Brumley was for years the chairman of Emory University's Department of Pediatrics and later served as interim dean of the medical school, Died and left behind a deposit in our bank the valued USD$5.5Million
Dollars.( Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only) under a cross suspense account.
It happens that my relationship with Late Dr.George Brumley started in year 2003, We met in our annual end of the year 2003 party during one of his visits to Cote d' Ivoire that was when I was introduced to him by my Director, when he opened this account some few days later making me his account
officer and he operated this account until his death. On the 21st of July 2005, Dr. George Brumley, his wife and his two children were involved in a plan crash in Nairobi Kenya. All passengers of the plan unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to America Embassy
to locate or know if there is any of his extended relatives to confide on but unfortunately this has been unsuccessful.
To prevent the bank from claiming this money as Government treasure, I decided to contact you with hope to discuss under a mutual business understanding to get this money transferred to your bank account in your country through. I am asking for your assistance in transfering this funds out before
they will be confiscated as unclaimed funds, since the bank has declared the account unserviceable and since his death nobody has come forward for the claims of the fund or service the account and since I have been able to locate any of his relatives,I therefore seek your consent to act and
present yourself as the next of kin of the deceased, Late Dr George Brumley so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$5.5 Million Dollars can be transfer to your account. l have decided to share 50/50% of the total money for your kind gesture, then after the transfer of the funds,I will
make arrangement to travel to your country.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through, and very important the bank will not know my involvement with you because I will be inside taking control and any information need from me since I am in the bank. If you are interested, I will need your contact
information, private telephone number.
I guarantee that this transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please l look forward hearing from you soon.
Best regards,
Mr, Edward K.Bumah
