Subject: Attention: Provision of Account for urgent fund transfe
This is a very confidential matter of extreme urgency. My name is George Kramo. I am working at the Accounts department of Bank of Africa, here in Abidjan-Cote D`Ivoire as the Head of Foreign Accounts Services.
I am contacting you to see if you can be of assistance in a very urgent, but confidential business transaction that involves fund transfer totalling US$38.5 Million, (Thirty- Eight Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only).The fund is currently floating in a dormant fixed
deposit account of a foreign customer who died in air mishap six years ago alongside his entirely family with no next of kin indicated in his file.
Please note that details of the account and other necessary information required to make the claim will be released to you as soon as you signify your interest to partner me in repatriating the fund out of this country to any valid account you will provide as long as the account is outside
Africa.
As an insider here in the bank, I m aware that nobody has ever come forward as the next of kin to the deceased, and none will ever come, hence my decision to act fast before the management of the bank declares the fund as unclaimed in accordance with the Banking and Financial Acts of our
country. I have already taken my personal Lawyer into confidence regarding my intention and he advised me to search for a capable and trustworthy person in overseas who will act as the next of kin.
As a resident Attorney here, the involvement of the Lawyer will give the transaction full legitimacy as his duty is to stand on behalf of the would be beneficiary and procure the necessary documents required by the bank in your name as the next-of-kin/ beneficiary.
Your physical presence doesn稚 matter much, though it will help to quicken the process, as well as build more confidence and trust between us. It is a risk-free transaction, but trust and absolute confidentiality remains the key to successful execution.
Indicate your urgent response and willingness with the following information.
Your full names and address
Your direct telephone number and securedfax line where I can fax important document related to the fund.
Upon receipt of this information, I will proceed to furnish you with the details you need to make formal application to the Bank Board. I want you to trust in my capability as an insider to push your file through for approval and transfer to your nominated account within 7 working days.
Please act without delay.
Sincerely,
George Kramo
