Dear Friend,
I know that this mail will come to you as asurprise aswe have never met before.My name is Dr.Yakube Akim.I am thebill andexchange manager in African Development Bank.I Hoped that youwill notexpose or betray this trust and confident that I am about torepose on you for the mutual benefit of our both families.
I amwriting inrespect of a foreign customer of our Bank who perished alongwith hisnext of kin with Korean Air Line, flight number 801with the wholepassengers on 6th of augustus 1997 and for your perusalyou canview this sitehttp://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9708/06/guam.passenger.list
Since the demiseof this our customer, I personally has watchedwith keen interest tosee the next of kin but all has proved abortiveas no one has come toclaim his funds of US$8.3M (Eight MillionThree Hundred ThoudsandUnited States Dollars) which has been with ourbranch for a verylong time. On this note, I decided to seek for whomhis name shall beused as the Next of Kin since nobody is coming forthe fund again.TheBanking ethics here does not allow such money tostay more than 11years, because the money will be recalled to the Banktreasury asunclaimed fund after this period. In view of this I gotyour contactthrough the internet when I was making a research on aforeigner that Iwill use in this great opportunity because i dontwant the money to berecalled to our Bank treasury as uncliamed fund.Ihave also agreed tooffer 40% of the total sum and the rest
60% willbe for me. The reasonfor a foreigner in the business is for the factthat the deceased manwas a foreigner and it is not authorized by thelaw guiding our Bankfor a citizen of this country to make the claim ofthe fund.Sothe request of you as a foreigner is necessary to apply forthe releaseand transfer of the fund smoothly into your reliableBank account asthe surving relation to the deceased.
If you arereally sure of yourintegerity, trustworthy and confidentiality, andaccept not to cheat ordisappoint me after this business, reply withyour telephone and faxnumbers and banking account details whereyou wish to receive thefund.
Upon receipt of the abovementioned informations,indicatingyour interest in the business,I willsend you by fax or e-mail a letterof application which you will type and send back to our bank to enableus start this transaction.
Iwill not fail to bring to your noticethat this business is hitch freeand dont have any negative impact.Youshould not entertain any fearas all modalities for the smooth and easytransfer of this fund hasbeen finalized, this transaction will becompleted within 14 bankworking days immediately we start thebusiness. Waiting for yoururgent response and please kindly delete ifyou are notinterested. Regards, Dr.Yakube Akim AfricanDevelopment Bank.
