Hello Dana Evans ,

Thanks for your email received this morning. I know you have been
taken by surprise but this is not the first time we have done
something similar as this.Like I earlier said,I am the principal
treasury officer with one of the prime banks here in Cote
d’Ivoire.,West Africa and I am soliciting for your cooperation in this
business project that will profit us both. I am contacting you about
an unclaimed estate belonging to a deceased customer of mine who
probably may be your relative or perhaps a coincidence of the same
surname

The reason why I am reaching you now is that the management of our
bank where my deceased customer had a deposit of about $8,726,405.00
million USD has given me a final notice to present the next of kin of
my customer to claim the money he left behind in their bank or they
will declare the account non-serviceable and confiscate the funds as
in line with the banking regulation since he died intestate. I
contacted you because of the need for me to provide the next of kin to
the bank, because I cannot claim the money alone as I am a staff in
the bank.

This late customer Egr James Evans, died leaving no WILL behind and as
i mentioned above,what is going to happen now is that the bank may
possibly confiscate the fund he deposited if nobody comes up to claim
it. Since you share the same name with this depositor,I what i am
going to do is present you to the bank here as his next of kin because
in his account file there is no next of kin.The fund is held in a
coded suspense account and I have all the access information which I
will give to you thereafter.When the money will be transferred, it
will be labeled as inheritance so there will not be any problem with
any government authorities

The sum above is still sitting in the bank and the interest is rolled
over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will come
forward to claim it. According to the law of Cote d’Ivoire, at the
expiration of {five}years, the money will l revert to the ownership of
the Cote d’Ivoire government if nobody claims the funds.Consequently,
my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the
next of kin to deceased person for the fact that you have same last
name with him so that this money will not be reverted by the
government.

With your co operation,I am going to ensure that all adequate measures
are in place to ensure the speedy transfer of this funds in the
custody of Bank Atlantique Cote D'ivoire to your account.I would
want to re affirm that my intentions are in the right places.I see
this as an alluring opportunity for us to get this funds rather than
having the bank officials confiscate and share it if no ones comes for
it.

This transfer will be done under the legitimate (BTO) Bank Transfer
Order of my country and are going to be coordinated by me and shall
conform to all the laws and principles of international bank to bank
wire transfer.All I want from you is your honesty and to be steadfast
all through.I am proposing a 50:50 sharing ratio between us. After the
transfer, I will come over to your country to take my own share of
the money and invest with you in any good profitable ventures.

I will need to secure and submit to the bank on your behalf, a letter
of administration which will give you the right to claim before the
bank can transfer the funds so in lieu of this, I will also require
the following from you;

* Address:
* Occupation:
*Telephone number

there are provisions where it will be filled here in the account form
to make changes of the initial ownership of the account in your own
name to enable the fund remittance in your favor.Upon receiving this
information from you, I will change all the ownership guarantees of
the Account in your name as the fund beneficiary to enable you
contact the holding bank here with the application i will forward to
you which you will copy and return to the bank here requesting them
to transfer the funds to your account. In fact this will be mere
formality as i would have arranged all the necessary back ups to
ensure that the funds is released to you.

However please because of the short time ,i want to re emphasis on
the need for us to try and speed up the process and also to keep every
information relating to the transaction strictly between us until the
whole process is completed.

As soon as the funds are release to your account here ,I will make
arrangements for my travel to meet you for disbursement then we can
decide together how to re transfer the funds.For all concern, I will
prefer we communicate only through this particular email address for
security reasons.As i wrote earlier,I cannot in any way handle
thistransaction by myself since i am a staff of the bank so this has
to remain strictly confidential between us to avoid raise of eyebrow
or necessary exposure when the funds is remitted to you.

Here is my direct telephone number (+22506717706). Please, do not call
me during office hours as I cannot discuss this business with you on
the phone while in my office, I hope you understand. My address is 78
Rue des Jardin, Cocody, Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire. Email me to acknowledge
this email. Please, all emails concerning this transaction should only
be directed through this email account.

Once more thank you and I hope I really can count on you.

Hello Dana Evans,

I have carefully taken care of the account file and all is ready now
in your name. Please find text of application below that i have also
sent separately with your address included.You should put down your
name at the bottom part of the application text before forwarding the
filled application to the bank here requesting them to transfer the
funds to you.Send it to the bank through the email
([email protected]) or fax given on the top page.

I will advise that you send it through email provided so that
whatever response you will get from the bank will come through email
too.Very important,ensure that you do not copy me in on it like "cc"
when sending to the bank or let the bank see my email address while
sending to the bank.I am to stay anonymous while you work with the
bank directly until the transaction is completed in your favor.This is
very important so that our bank will not question my own interest,you
will only be dealing with them as the said beneficiary without me.

Again,before we go on, I want you to really understand the role you
are going to play. I am a staff of the bank here so on no account
should my name be mentioned. You are coming in from an official angle
this time. You should not be afraid of anything; You have the account
codes quoted in the application which gives you right to the said
money.

I will always remain in the background as an insider here and be
given you every relevant information that will lead to successful
transfer of the funds to your account fast. Please also note that it
is very risky if another person sees these information that is why a
high level of confidentiality must be maintained.

My friend, I want to remind you again that I am giving you a blind
trust. You now have the right over this money based on the work I did
in the account file and in less than no time the money will be in your
favor. I know that I cannot do this myself that is why I contacted
you. Your role in this is even more important than mine but I would
want us to work out this in confidence, as you have trusted me with
the assurances I gave you, I want to trust you also that after the
transfer, my own share will get to me as agreed.

Please do this possibly today so that bank can start the remittance
process immediately.I want the funds to be transferred before end of
next week then we will celebrate big.It is very necessary because we
are dealing with a large financial transaction therefore,since we have
now reached to this point,please try as much as you can to adjust your
program to be checking your email at least twice or more a day for
effective communication and quick completion of this transfer to your
account.

I am sure that this transaction will not take us more than 7 working
days to conclude right from the moment you contact the remitting bank
with the request.

After you send the application, drop me a line to inform me.If you
need any clarification, reach me immediately.

I implore you to make this a little bit confidential at this early
stage till we have advanced and put everything in place.

Lambert Kouadio
