Subject: PLEASE KEEP CONFIDENTIAL
FROM THE DESK OF : ARIF SHAIKH
NATIONAL BANK OF ABU DHABI,
UNITED ARAB EMIRATE
DEAR FRIEND,
PLEASE KEEP CONFIDENTIAL
WITH DUE HONOUR AND RESPECT,I AM ARIF SHAIKH
THE MANAGER AUDIT AND ACCOUNTS UNIT, FOREIGN REMITTANCE
DEPT. OF NATIONAL BANK OF ABU DHABI. I GOT YOUR E-MAIL
ADDRESS
RECOMMENDED BY A BENIN BUSINESS CONSULTANT ELDER JOHN KAFUI
AND I DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU FOR BENEFICIAL AND A 100% RISK FREE
BUSINESS TRANSACTION.
DURING OUR AUDITING AND INVESTIGATIONS IN THIS BANK MY
DEPARTMENT CAME ACROSS THE SUM OF EIGHTEEN MILLION, FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLAR( US$18,500.000.00)
ONLY
BELONGING TO A DECEASED CUSTOMER OF THIS BANK WHO DIED
ALONG WITH HIS
NEXT OF KIN ON 5TH NOVEMBER 2001 AEROPLANE CRASH IN
ABIDJAN. BEFORE
OUR DISCOVERY TO THIS DEVELOPMENT, THERE WAS NO TRACE OF
CLAIM FROM
ANY
PERSON AS THE FUND REMAINS DORMANT IN HIS ACCOUNT WITH THIS
BANK.
ALTHOUGH I KEPT THIS INFORMATION SECRET WITHIN
MYJURISDICTION TO
ENABLE US PUT CLAIM AND TRANSFER THE SAID AMOUNT THROUGH A
TRUSTWORTHY
FRIEND OVERSEAS WHOM WE SHALL PRESENT TO THE BANK AS THE BONAFIDE
NEXT-OF-KIN TO THE DECEASED FOR A PROFITABLE AND SUCCESSFUL
DEAL.
MEANWHILE ALL THE ARRANGEMENT TO PUT CLAIMS AS THE
BONAFIDE NEXT-OF-KIN TO THE DECEASED, TO GET THE REQUIRED APPROVAL
AND TRANSFER OF THIS MONEY TO A FOREIGN ACCOUNT HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE.
THE DIRECTIVES AND THE NEEDED INFORMATION WILL BE RELAYED TO
YOU AS SOON
AS YOU INDICATE YOUR INTEREST AND WILLINGNESS TO THIS GREAT
BUSINESS
OPPORTUNITY.
INFACT, WE COULD HAVE DONE THIS DEAL ALONE BUT
BECAUSE WE CIVIL SERVANTS ARE NOT LEGALLY ALLOWED TO
OPERATE FOREIGN ACCOUNT AND IT WOULD EVENTUALLY RAISE
EYEBROWS ON OUR
SIDE DURING THE TIME OF TRANSFER BECAUSE WE ARE STAFF OF
THE BANK. THESE ARE THE ACTUAL REASONS IT REQUIRES A SECOND-FELLOW
WHO WILL FORWAR CLAIMS BY OUR SUPPORT AS THE BONA FIDE NEXT-OF-KIN
WITH COURT
AFFIDAVIT TO THE BANK AND ALSO PRESENT A FOREIGN BANK
ACCOUNT WHERE THE MONEY ON HIS/HER REQUEST WILL BE RE-TRANSFERED INTO.
ON CONCLUSION OF THIS TRANSACTION, YOU WILL BE ENTITLED TO
25% OF THE TOTAL SUM AS GRATIFICATION 5% OF THE TOTAL SUM WILL BE USED
TO REIMBURSE EXPENSES THAT MIGHT ARISE FROM TELEPHONE BILLS AND OTHER
EXPENSES DURING THE TRANSACTION WHILE 70% WILL BE FOR ME
AND MY COLLEAGUES HERE.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED,PLEASE GET BACK TO ME IMMEDIATELY FOR
MORE INFORMATION ON MY ALTERNATIVE/ CONFIDENTIAL EMAIL ADDRESS
