Dear Sir/Mam,
I know this letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and become great friends and business partners. I am Mr.Serg Zabo an Accountant & the Auditor General with bank of africa. Though, this medium (Internet) has been greatly abused, but I choose to reach you through it because it still remains the fastest and most confidential medium of communication. However, this correspondence is unofficial and private, and it should be treated as such. Well I have an urgent and lucrative business transaction that will Profit the both of us after completion. So I want you to patiently read through this email and get back to me.
In January 1998,a Saudi Arabian Oil Consultant/Contractor (Mr. Steve) made a numbered-time (fixed deposit) for twenty four calendar months valued at ($25.150 M) TWENTY FIVE MILLION ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND UNITED STATED DOLLARS Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification of Account status to his forwarding address but got no reply up till date.
After two months, we sent a reminder of same letter, and finally we discovered from his contact employers, (Halliburton Oil Services Company) that Mr. Steve died in a German Concorde AF4590 on Monday, 31 July, 2000. Please view more details about the crash: (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm)
This office has exhaustively made efforts to locate the next of kin/beneficiary, or any relative of our deceased customer, all to no avail and not successful.
I have contacted you to assist me in securing this money before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by this bank. The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such an account remains dormant or non-operational after a period of Ten (10) years, the money will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed fund.
However, attempts have been made twice by the Government Agency concerned to confiscate this account since the expiration of the Ten years if not for my intervention as the head account and audit dept. I have always told them that the next of kin has been in touch with us. The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner, and you sharing the same last name with the Deceased customer will help us achieve this goal.
Kindly Provide me with your details as follows to easy and effective communication:
Full name:
Country Location:
Cell:
Age:
Note that this transaction requires utmost trust and sincerity, get back to me so i can give you more details so we can proceed.
Best regards,
Mr.Serg Zabo
