Dear Friend,
I will like to solicit your help in a business proposition,which is by
nature very confidential and a Top Secret.I know that a transaction of
this magnitude will make anyone worried and apprehensive but I am assuring
you not to worry,as all will be well at the end of this endeavour. I
am Mr.Ahmad Joshua and I am the Accounts Manager of the African Development
Bank PLC and I and my partners have decided to seek your helpin transfer
of a huge sum of money requiring maximum confidence.
THE PROPOSITION
A foreigner,Dr.Edwards Marples who was an oil merchant and contractor with
the Federal Government of Nigeria until his death onboard the ill fated
Kenyan Airways bus{A310 flight-KQ431}Sunday January 30,2000 (you can
visit:usafricaonline.com/aircrashkenya.html for the full story on the crash)wasour
customer at the AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK and had a balance of US$32million
which the bank now expects his next of kin to claim as the beneficiary.Wehave
made valuable efforts to get his people to no avail as he had no known
relatives,due to this development our management and our board of directors
are making arrangements for the funds to be declared unclaimed and subsequently
paid into the federal government's purse and to avert this negative development
me and my colleagues have decided to look for a reputable person to act
as the next of kin to late Dr.Marples so that the funds with interest
will be released and paid into this person's account and this is where
you come in.
All documents to aid your claim will be provided by my colleagues and I,for
your help you will be getting a percentage of the total sum. Please be
assured that this transaction is risk free and will take a maximum of
9-12 working days and we will need your fax number and phone number for
more communication.
