Dear Sir / Madam,
I am the Bill and Exchange (assistant) Manager of the African Development Bank,
MR. JOSEPH YANA.
In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of USD$9.900.000 in an
account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his wife
and two children in July 2002 in a plane crash. Since we got information about his
death, we have been expecting his next of kin (近亲属) to come over and claim his
money, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died
alongside with him in the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I in my department now decided to make
this business proposal to you and release the money to you as next of kin or relation
since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the bank
treasury as unclaimed fund. The banking law and guidelines here says that if such
money remains unclaimed after ten years, the money will be transferred into the bank
treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of the foreigner in this transaction(办理) is necessary because our
late customer was a foreigner. We agree that 30% of this money will be for you as
foreigner partner, 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business
and 65% would be for me, after which I shall visit your country for disbursement
(开支) according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate
transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank, and send
your account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective
communication and location where the money will be sent.
Upon receiving your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail the text of the
application which you shall retype and fax to us. Trusting to receive your urgent
reply through my alternative Email: jyana96 @ yahoo.com.id Best regards.
