Dear Friend,
I know this message will come to you as a surprise since we do not know each
other before, but for the purpose of introduction, I am MR.KEVIN COLEMAN,
Operations manager, ecobank plc lagos Nigeria. There is an account opened in
this bank in 1991. After going through some old files in the records, I
discovered that nobody has operated in this account since 2000. And the banking
law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after
ten years (10 years), the money will be transferred into the bank treasury as
unclaimed fund.
From our records, the owner of this account is MR.ANDREAS SCHRANNER, {a
foreigner, a miner at Kruger Gold. Co. and a geologist by profession}. After
several notifications as a routine to the address of this distinguished
customer of ours, his employees told our management that ANDREAS SCHRANNER,
died with his entire family on Monday, 31 July, 2000, in a plane crash.
My investigation proved to me that no other person knows about this account or
anything concerning it, the company does not know anything about this account
as well, the account has no beneficiary. This account presently accommodates an
amount involving $41.5 Million United State Dollars. With all due respect, I am
contacting you because of my need to involve a reliable foreign beneficiary
with a foreign account, who will coordinate this transaction. I would like you
to assist me and claim these funds to your bank account.
In the recent meeting held by the Board of Directors of our bank, who
deliberated on the issue of unclaimed funds in our bank, and thereafter they
the motion as contained in the article 13 (b) sub-section (iv) of the minutes
of the BOD's meeting. I need your full co-operation to make this transaction
successful, the bank will approve the payment to any foreign party who has
correct information regarding this account. Which I will transfer to you
immediately if you are capable and willing to handle the amount in question
with confidence and trust according to my instructions and advice for our
mutual benefit. This my friend is a life time opportunity I wish to share with
you.
I need a trustworthy person due to the nature of the business transaction, I
need your assurance of discretion.I assure you that with my present position in
the office I am able to transfer this money to foreign account of which you can
provide assurance that this money will be safe and well guided pending my
arrival in your country for distribution.
I will destroy all documentation of this transaction at my office immediately
after the transfer thus leaving no trace to any place. I will use my position
and influence to guarantee legal approvals and transfer of this money to your
bank account with the appropriate clearance forms according to the ministry for
foreign exchange.If you want you can also come down to discuss with me face to
face after which I will make the remittance in your presence and two of us will
fly to your country for withdrawal, sharing and other investment plans.
Please reply quickly so that I will inform you the next steps to relinquish
these funds immediately. At the conclusion of this business you will receive
45% of the total amount, while 5% will be for any expenses incurred during the
transaction and 50% would be for me. Thereafter, I will visit you for
disbursement according to the percentage indicated. Please note that your
ability to keep this transaction secret is very important for the sake of my
job and reputation.
I look forward to your earliest reply.

MR.KEVIN COLEMAN.
