Subject: Kind Attention Pls,
Kind Attention Pls,
I am the Bill and Exchange manager of a prime Bank in Cote d'Ivoire. I am
writing to seek your cooperation over this business deal.
In my Department, I discovered an abandoned sum of (US$ 20.5 Million) In an
account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his
entire family in a plane crash that took place in Kenya, a National of your
country and contractor with an oil servicing company.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin
or business associate to come and claim his money because it cannot be released
unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or business associate to the
deceased as indicated in banking guidelines but unfortunately, all his supposed
next of kin died along with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the
claim.
You can read more about the crash on visiting this site:-
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business
proposal to you, to release the money to your account as the next of kin or
business associate.
The Banking law and guideline stipulates that if such money remains dormant
after 8 years, will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. all
I require is your honest cooperation as a foreign citizen to enable us see this
deal through. I guarantee this will be executed under all legitimate arrangement
that will protect from any breach of law.
I will like us to share this money mutually on two equal halves between me and
you. I will indulge you at this point to understand that this is privileged
information and must be strictly confidential. If you can handle this with me,
reach me for more details.
Thanks.
Koffy Lumoh.
