Hello,
I apologize if the contents hereunder are contrary to
your
moral ethics.But please treat this proposal with absolute secrecy and
personal.
My name is Mr.Hassan Bello,the Head of Banking Operation of a
prominent
bank in African .I discovered a dormant account in my office
recently,
while auditing some accounts of our esteemed corporate
customers.On
further investigation I also discovered that the account
holder was
a victim of the last Bellview air disaster which claimed
about 117
persengers on board.Because I am the account officer
of this
esteemed customer,I contacted his family personally to help them
claim
his deposit with our bank.I called his home and asked to speak with
his wife but the young man who answered the call told me that his
mother was
late long ago so I requested that he meet meet me at my
office the following
day.Upon his arrival at the office I told him
about his father account with us
which is worth about $9,500,000.00
and informed him about his right to
the account because he was named
next-of-kin in the account holder record with us.
However,the young Mr.
Argungu told me that since his father died ,that life has
been hellish
for him and his only sister as his uncles bent at acquiring all their
father's properties since they are still minors besides the man did not
leave a WILL.
He however pleaded with me to help him get a foreign who
could claim
the amount and use same to sponsor their educational
pursuit abroad.
If you are ready to strike this "Deal" , you will
retain 30% of the total
amount at the end of the transaction. On
receipt of your positive reply with your
contact information, I will
detail you further.
Warmest regards,
Mr. Hassan Bello.
