Dear Nick,
 
Thank you for your kind respond to my call for help.
It is good that I heard from you today. Due to my present condition of health is likely that I will be going for an intensive medical care in Mali as the doctors advice but before then, I will like to entrust the fund and everything concerning this transaction unto your care before I leave.
 
First, I want to seek your consent and to be sure that you will ernestly carry out this transaction .If all things being equal as I believed I will issue a power of attorney to the bank in your favour as the trustee / guardian. Once the power of attorney is issued to the bank, I will forward you the account details and the bank contact details so that you can procced on with the bank till the money arrives into your bank account.
 
In the meantime, I will like you to let me know your intension as soon as possible and also send me your personal details, like your full name, contact address, telephone and fax number which I will submit to the bank with the power of attorney before I leave. In my next email I will send you also some directives, details / terms in which you will share the money once it comes into your bank account. If this is agreed between us we shall put everything in a written agreement for future references between they parties involved.
 
Please send me the information as soon as you got this mail so that we can accelerate the transfer process.
 
Remain blessed in the Lord and have a wonderful day.

Dear Mr.Nick,
 
How are you doing today? 
I have all confidence, trust and believe that you will never let me down or betray my trust, in this regards, I am entrusting the entire transaction unto your custody by issuing a POWER OF ATTORNEY in your favour as the trustee to the fund. 
 
As I informed you previously in my mails that I will be travelling to Mali for medical care/cancer operation, please pray for me to come back alive and I will be very happy to hear about the progress of this transaction while there.
 
Today been saturday we got the power of attorney late when the bank is already closed  so on Monday morning my son will go to the bank to submit the POWER OF ATTORNEY to the person incharge with an attached letter from me introducing / presentating you as his guardian as already stated on the power of attorney. When he will be through with the bank he will send to you the contact details of the bank and the account deposit information so that you can contact the bank directly and send them your bank account where you will recieve the fund and also discuss with them regarding the transfer proceedures.
 
Please let me know about your ideas towards this mail.
 
I await for your response.
 
Remain blessed in the Lord.

Dear Mr. Nick

I recieved your mail which comprises 1,2,3 copies of power of attorney declaration, remittance form and 1 copy of your driver's license.

PLEASE NOTE:

The power of attorney otherwise known as AFFIDAVIT was declared by the family of Leonald issued to the BIAO BANK as an authorisation to transfer the fund from the depositor's account to your designated account as the new appointed beneficiary otherwise known as their TRUSTEE.

Here I advice you as being in this profession for 25 years now. As a financial associate / lawyer I prove to you here, that it is mandatory that we declare a JUDICIAL APPROVAL which must be endorsed by the MINISTRY OF JUSTICE COTE D'IVOIRE. This approval has nothing to do with the power of attorney which you sent here. The power of attorney is a legal approval from the Leonald's family as a legal agreement to the parties involved binding; the BIAO BANK, MR.Nick, MRS. SARAH MARIAM LEONALD and MR.DAVID LEONALD.

The JUDICIAL APPROVAL is an authority from the MINISTRY OF JUSTICE to the all concerned ministries comprising; the MINISTRY OF FINANCE, ECOWAS MONEY LAUDERING / MONITORING BUREAU & BIAO BANK to, transfer out the afforsaid fund to the UNITED STATES. (As) Certified proof that the fund is legal & genuine, that the government is aware of such transfer. Hence, the JUDICIAL APPROVAL DECLARATION is a mandatory for the successful remittance of the fund into your designated bank account / other transfer prevailings.

I therefore, put below the cost of all the necessary document/obligations:

Application/ Registeration fee:      $260
Judicial approval declaration fee: $3,250
Stamp duty fee: $115
T.V.A (0.01%):$1,200

Total fees in US Dollar Equivalent: US$4,825

Your transfer was earlier scheduled for Friday 19th May, but whereby I did not heard from you regarding these obligations, I quickly rushed to the bank to extend the transfer date otherwise you will be charges for the merginal differences. Try to send the money to me as soon as possible so that I can tidy up all the processes before the transferring date as was shifted to Wednesday next week. Due to the short space of time, I advice that you send the money to me through WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER, directly with my name:

Mr.Khalid Idris
01 BP 1232 Abidjan 01 Cote d'Ivoire
Tel/Fax:+225 2249 1867 

Cell: (00225) 08257430 

 

After you send it, you give the transfer control number on any of these email addresses for collection. khalididrisassociates@yahoo.fr   OR  cabinetavocatci@hotmail.fr.

I anticipate your earlier response.

Dear Mr.Nick

I am in receipt of your mail.
I have called the bank to let them deduct the fund from the capital sum, but they made me to understand that the fund in question (12,000,000.00) was deposited in a suspence account for foreign investment purposes which no one can tamper with or have access to it here in Africa until reactivated and transfered into a foreign account. And ever since the death of the late depositor, the account has remained dormant, that was the reason why Mrs Leonald was asked to present her  foreign partner who will stand as her trustee to recieve the fund in abroad.

From the documents that was shown to me at the bank, I understand that you are the legal trustee to the account and before the bank could have access to deduct any amount from the account or transfer the fund into your account, the account must have to be reactivated in your name hence it remained dormant. And for the account to reactivated, or the fund be transfered to your account in abroad, there must be an endorsed power of attorney from the ministry of justice Cote d'Ivoire. Please understand that the judicial approval is necessary and unavoidable.

I still advise you as your lawyer / legal representative here to send the fund so that I will obtain the judicial approval. Your urgent action to this message is very necessary.

Thanks.

Yours in service

Khalid Idris

You cannot tell me that you are receiving several email from people and you don't know whom you are dealing with. Remember that you first wrote me and attached to me the message which you received from the bank indicating that you needed my help to help you in procuring a Judicial Aprroval.
 
Please understand that I am legal associate with Cabinet De Avocat Cote d'Ivoire, I have been in this profession for more than 25yrs.
 
As I got your mail where you want me to get the judicial approval on your favoure to enable the Banque International De l'Afrique L'ouest(BIAO-CI) transfer the afforesaid fund accordingly into your designated bank account in US. It is the purpose why I took my time to make verifications regarding your request, I contacted the Bank in question to know what they required in prior to the document (Judicial approval that is needed, I gave you a list of the cost of the paperworks.
 
As I wrote, yesterday after the little boy (David Leonald) left my office, I was touched by his tears and that was why I wrote you a mail yesterday because I was highly annoid when you wrote to me that is upto me too as you are not going to send any funds until the bank wire the fund to your account. Are you supposed to say that to me? what is my interest? I am only trying to maitain my reputation because I have been rendering such services to other clients from various banks locally and internationally. I may send you my ID CARD, PRACTISING LICENSE or my PASSPORT if you need to know me more.
 
Regarding the transaction.
I want you to understand that amount (US$4,825) that was costed for your paperwork is obligatory / non negotiable and unavoidable. But I have a client's cheque of USD3,000 that will clear on Tuesday 6th of June which I am supposed to refund to the owner on the 15th of June as the case stands, but, if you we can reach a compromise, I will assist you with the amount $3,000 as you send the balance of USD1,825 to enable me get your job done. This is all I think I can do for you, believing that once the bank wired the fund in your account I will get the money back including my service charge. I will wait for your response and the balance to procceed.

This to highlight you on the position of the transaction today.

I have obtained all the legal approval / documents from the high court/ ministry of justice and all the appropriate authorities here in Cote dIvoire. I have also obtained the Drug / Money Laundering clearance from the Ecowas Monetary Inspection. I will submit these documents at the bank tomorrow morning but before then, I need to have a satisfactory result from the Ministry of Finance concerning the release / transfer order which I already applied for. This is not yet clarified because we need to pay 2% of the total fund before the Ministry of Finance will grant the transfer order as the country new policy stands. But I am still negociating with the officer in charge regarding this matter.

 

We have a meeting again this evening. I will call you after the meeting.

Find the attached, your reference copies of the documents.

 

Have a nice day.

Dear Mr.Nick,
 
In regards to our telephone conversation now, I can not give a definate answer or conclusion until I meet again with the person incharge at the Ministry of Finance tomorrow.
 
The fixed price for the release order is normally 0.2% of any amount
.02% of the fund in question (12Million) should be approximately $24,000.00 but I am trying to tender my PERFORMANCE BOND to the ministry tomorrow if they accept it then, there will be no hinderance to the transfer tomorrow, so when the transaction is completed I will have my money back.
 
Secondary my Insurance guranttee is only to the tune of $20,000.00 equivalent. If ever the man will accept the performance bond then I will let you know after our appointment in the morning so that you can send the difference of $4,000 but if they insisted on a phisical cash then I am afraid. Though the man used to be an old friend of mine, I will try to persuade him, I hope there will be a positive response from him. I will keep you posted tomorrow.
 
I want to make sure that the transfer is enhanced successfully, so count on me for an excellent service. Other approvals are in place.
 
Have a nice day

Subject: Today's update:

Dear Mr. Nick,
 
The Ministry of Finance has refused to issue the FUND RELEASE ORDER / TRANSFER APPROVAL on contingency bases. The matter is pending until the receipt of 0.2% of the fund ($12.M) I also talked with the bank Manager and the Director of Foreign Remittance, they stated clearly that the bank has no any participation or contribution on this matter. They only guaranteed the wire and confirmation of the fund in your designated bank account within 3 bank working days once all approval and necessary required documents are in place. 
 
During our discussion at the Ministry of Finance, I discovered that the late depositor did not declare the fund at the office of Economy. This transaction is a high risk to me hence the fund does not have a certificate that is known as DECLARATION OF FUND ORIGIN. Though, when the certificate issue was raised, I defended it by convincing them that you have the certificate in your possession. I have called the little boy who came to my office last week to inquire about this certificate but the boy seemed not to have enough knowledge about any document. I called the hospital to make few enquiries from his mother who is in the hospital but the doctors said that she was not in a position to talk at all.
 
In order not to complicate issues or jeopardize our efforts, we should try to avoid the authority demanding about this certificate. Though with my position in the cabinet d avocat Cote dIvoire (Law cabinet of Cote dIvoire) I can obtain the certificate and have all date backdated but, only through under table business (settlement)
 
Nevertheless, let us avoid any trace and try to skip this issue of certificate completely as, I already convinced them that you have it in your possession. There would be no request for it if we did not blow the alarm.
 
Let us pray that my PERFORMANCE BOND will be approved. It is now on process.
 
We shall talk later.

thank you so much and may God bless you for your effort to transfer the money to your account. i don't know what to say about this 4000$ they want, i can no longer consentrate because my mother is dying gradually now she cannot get up or even notice who is by her side, she is under respiratory tube. i cannot talk to her or ask her anything about this money. but from my own idea i will say, if this 4000$ is the only amount they will take to complete the transfer, please if you can afford it, i will beg you to give it to them for them to transfer the money so that you can help save the life of my mother by sending some money from the money the bank transfered, so that we can carry her to pakistan for the major operation before she dies here. and all the expenses you make in this transfer you will take them out from the money when the money comes in your bank account. as i am typing this mail, i am crying because of the pain that my mother is passing through. she had cancer and they operated it but i think they did not do it very well, now she is breading and dying in pain she could no longer cry again, it also affect half part of her body and the doctors said is stroke. i don't know why all this things is happening to her since my father died.
 
please if you can give them the 4000 to make them transfer the money and after the transfer i pray that she will be alive so that we can carry her to pakistan as the doctor said.i cannot concentrate to write,please try to understand my mail.
 
God bless you. i hope to join you soon.

Dear Sir,
 
Call or email the Swiss Trust Canada right away and ask them to give you 1 or 2 days to come up with their requirement. This certificate they are talking about is never a common certificate that can just be obtained from the Ministry of Finance. This is a very sensitive issue, we have to pass through different offices in the Ministry of Finance before the certificate will be finally signed by the Minister of Finance and Economy it is not an easy process. Already I have find out the cost which is $26,300 USD, but I have to take my time to think on how to go about it so that further questions and investigations might not come up. I will call you this evening to give you a definate answer.

Subject: RE : Certificate Issue

Dear Sir,
 
The Swiss trust Canada may not be aware that you have a representative here in Cote d'Ivoire so they are only coordinating with the BIAO bank to get the cost of the certificate here in Cote d'Ivoire and send them with the account information of the Ministry of Finance which they will relay to you for the payment. But all the same, as soon as you make the payment to them you let me know immediately so that I can follow the matter up at the same time in order to avoid any delay. Like I said, this is a very sensitive issue and it is not common so we still have to tip some offices so that further investigations, requirements or payment will not come up again. Normally, the certificate can be processed within 48hours so when they receive their payment it will take them about maximum of 3 days to have it done and issued to the Swiss Trust Canada. For your advise, please treat this matter very fast.

The bank in Spain is the Ministry of Finance Offshore account. You have to negotiate the payment with the Swiss Trust to see what will be possible. But you don't have to send them what you just sent to me that you will not advance any funds. This is a wrong approach. I think I have done my very best to negociate the cost of the certificate and also give you the best of my advise.

I am doing my very best to get the certificate as soon as possible.
To expedite the process, I have to split the sum of $1,600 to the INNER CAUCUS MEMBERS of the appropriate Ministries to get the certificate without upfronting the $26,300. From all indications it seemed that the process will take some time. But I will put in my best effort to get this matter solved as soon as possible.
 
Let me know your previous communication with the people in Canada, I want to base on that to advise you on what to tell them so that we can have all our time to procure and present all their requirement otherwise let the bank call the money back to Africa when we are ready with every requirement they will get the fund wired to your bank account directly. Meanwhile, let me go through your mails with them first (Canadian) and I will write you what you should send to them.  I await your respond.

Subject: My observations

Dear Sir,
 
Here are my legal observations:
 
1.The Swiss Trust Toronto Canada are entitled to refuse to transfer the funds to your bank account in the United States if the appropriate documents are not forthcoming. 
 
2.What they cannot do is to confiscate and keep those funds as, it does not belong to them and they cannot keep it.
 
3.No criminal offence has been committed either or recorded in relation to those funds.
 
4.There is absolutely no basis whatsoever for any court to authorise the confiscation of the funds. As an attorney & financial consultant I knew this and you know it.
 
5. If the firm in Canada refused the transfer to USA then, the fund must return to Cote d'Ivoire, from whence it came.
 
I understand that, the Cote d'Ivoire authorities are completely satisfied that this is your client's legitimate inheritance.  Once it has been returned to your client's bank, you may instruct the bank to establish a domicilliary account from where it can be wired in installments to your designated bank account. This will avoid the requirement for further documents and by so doing you cannot lose the money.
 
Therefore, you must let them know that you will not send any funds to anybody for the document. Let me know what their response is.
 
Have a nice day

Dear Sir,
 
Like I said before, they can refuse the trasfer if we doesn't come up with the document / $26,300 but they doesn't have any right to keep the fund or confiscate it. Government also cannot come in hence no criminal record has been found / reported against the funds.
 
They should be allowed to cancel the transfer as we cannot come up with the $26,300 / the certificate at this time. After their deadline we can ask the BIAO bank in Cote d'Ivoire to establish a non resident account in your favour through which the fund can be wired installmentally to your bank account.
 
Meanwhile, I am still doing my best to procure the certificate without upfronting the $26,300 but I am not seing the possibility that this will work irrespective of the fact that I have shared $1,600 in order to get this done. Rather they are only giving me a little discount out of the $26,300.00 so our best option is to wait after their deadline.

Sir,
I just spoke with Jacques Yao, he explained that the $6.000 is 0.050% value of $12Million while the $120.00 is 2% TVA on the 6.000, making up the total ($6.120.00) He made it clear that this charges is going to the BCAO (BANQUE CENTRAL) account not for the BIAO Bank. He said that they will wait for further instruction from the BCAO before they will establish the non resident account for you.  Nothing more is needed, on the receipt of the 6,120 at the Central Bank they will give instruction to the bank, then the bank will carry on with other formalities as requested by you. There is nothing anyone can do about this. As for the $1,000 for the reactivation of the account, the bank can deduct that from your funds after setting up the account.
 
I will advise you to make arrange the $6,120 and send it to them. Tell Jacques Yao to send you the information where you can send them the money.
 
Furthermore, I will advise you to stop further communication with this people in canada.
 
Have a wonderful day.

I have several concerns regarding Dr. Yao. The fact that they want this money up front prior to me receiving any funds is suspect. They are not acting in good faith and this is starting to smell like a scam.......I can have the funds sent to me in Europe if needed as UBS has offices all over the world. I will upon receipt of the funds pay the fees they are requesting. I will not pay any more funds up front. You will also be paid upon receipt of funds. I hope this can be resolved for all without having to get in a legal mess. The bank needs to provide proof that the funds do in fact exist. I am very concerned over the group in Canada as why would this bank not use another bank in Canada instead of a group that is not even registered in Canada to sell securities and or banking this makes no sense at all. Please let me know what you believe my recourse is and if we can get this done with out any more surprises or new costs.

Dear Sir,
I am completely into this transaction with you therefore; I want you to erase that suspicious attitude completely from this transaction and stop feeling that this is scam or whatever. I want you to understand fully well that I devoted my time to this transaction and I am following it legally and with all honest that was the reason why Dr.Jaques Yao are granting us some right and privileges against their bank rules.
 
In the first place when you contacted me to represent you in this transaction I went to the BIAO BANK by myself and confirmed that the fund is existing in the bank before I ever involved myself, my service and my money into it.
I was told that the company in Canada is the offshore clearing company of most african banks and they know the level they operates. But why I want you to discontinue everything with them is because of the fact that I have never known them or heard about them before besides, we don't have available the $26,300 for the document but meanwhile, the bank might be using them to remit funds to their foreign customers due to one reason or the other. I suggested that the money should be returned to Africa so that we can take our best time to know the easiest procedures to have the fund wired to your account accordingly and I think this is working out accordingly.
 
I was in the bank this morning and Rev Dr Jaques Yao made me to understand fully well that he is just granting us some privileges because of my position at the Huissier De Justice & Cabinet dAvocat Cote dIvoire because he knows I am competent and cannot betray the right and privileges hes giving to me, not that it is the normal process of the biao bank but with his position as one of the directors in the bank.
 
1. It is not a usual process that a non resident account should be opened with without getting a clearance from the Ministry of Foreign affairs but I intervened and pleaded to wave that proceeds.
 
2. You are supposed to pay from 5000 upwards for the establishment of the account but I personally talked to Dr Yao about it, he used his position as a director in the bank and decides to establish the account at the range of  1000 only. Normally the account should be opened from $5000 upwards and the money is supposed to be there in cash for the account reactivation.
 
3. It is never a normal process and rule to deduct any money from any account / fund which is in a restricted/bonded account. This is never done anywhere both in the United States. But I stood on your behalf here and pleaded with him to make everything easy because we have some financial difficulties that was why he decided to open the account without demanding for the money upfront. Meanwhile, he is not deducting the 1000 for from the fund but he will put in his 1000 to establish the account then once the account become active you will sign for detuction of the 1000. It is against the banking rule to do otherwise.
 
4. The charges of the Flotation Marginal difference is not going into the banks treasury rather it must be paid to the Ministry of Finance, it can never be deducted from anywhere but if you dont know or believe this you can ask your bankers.
 
Finally I have crosschecked and verified from every angle and I am hereby telling you that: No additional document or fund will be required from you once you pay this charges of the Marginal difference ($6,120.00) My best advice to you is for you to find a way and send them this money. And I am giving you my word of honor that this is legit. I will be glad if you can call me to inform me that you have sent them the money and we will have everything concluded before Wednesday.

Dear Sir,
 
As per your request:
 
1. Hence the transfer has been cancelled the fund is definately held back here in Africa.

2. The only money you have to send here is the $6,120 there is no other additional expenses / payment.

3. Once the Ministry of Finance confirmed the receipt of the $6,120 they will signal the BIAO BANK to proceed with the formalities.

4. The bank will set up the account on thesame they they got the signal and you will have access or withdraw money from the account on the sameday.

5. Once you made the payment to the Ministry of Finance, you will made it known to the bank without any delay so that they will reconfirm from the Ministry of finance then, set up the account and give you all the account key/information so that you can access your account. 

6. Paying the Marginal difference is a usual/normal process hence the fund is still under the Cote d'Ivoire government minitoring and routine. You should also be grateful that the fund was recovered earlier.
 
You have to ask the bank for the information where you will send the money. On the contrary, you can send it to me so that I can relay the money to them, to insure that they get it instantly and I will therefore follow them up at thesame time so that all proceeds will will be completed on thesame time.
 
Count on me with trust and confidence.

Dear Sir,
Tell the Police or whosoever that is contacting you in this regards that, you have traced the company in Canada and found out that they are listed in the lists of fake and scam companies. And ever since then, you have with-held whatsoever transaction you had with them. Presently, you are not receiving any funds or sending out any money to anybody in regards to the fund and the entire transaction.
 
Now listen very carefully to what I have to tell you here:
 
1. You are fully aware that the money in question ($12Million) is a very big amount so everybody might be interested in it.
 
2. Once the transaction is mentioned to this people that is contacting you they must raise their eyes brow therefore, you must seize every communication with the fake company in Canada or any other person that is contacting you or might contact you again, so that nobody will not threaten you with police or whatsoever.
 
2. These people will try all their best to threaten you so that you will neither share the funds with them, or the government when it gets to your account or you share it with the police or the monetary organisations.
 
3. In the above regards, you have to completely deny ever having any further interest on the transaction. This is what you will always tell whosoever that is contacting you from Canada, America or wheresoever they might be contacting you again from.
 
You should always deny the fact that you are no longer having any transaction in regards to the funds, in order to divert their attention from the fund and the entire transaction.
 
Finally, try to send the charges at the Ministry of Finance Cote d'Ivoire Immediately so that the bank can set up the Non resident account in your name here and the fund will conveniently moved into the account while, you give the bank instructions on how to send it to you in a bit by bit( installment)
 
Be strong and confident.

Subject: RE : sending funds

Dear Mr Nick,
 
I called again to let you know that after my discussion with the YAO and the Ministry of Finance, nothing has changed, their position still remains the same.
 
Though, I am beginning to notice that sometimes you creat an avenue of difficulty while sometimes you sounds very comprehensive and compromising, but I want you to bear in mind that success can only be acheive by our co-operative effort not only your effort or my effort. When an answer is given to a demand the best is to wait patiently for the result not to creat an impression of threat. For instance, when you said you cannot send the $6,120 what impression are you creating? suspicious? untrue transaction?? Or are you being skeptical or something ? because did not see any ugly development in this transaction but you allowed yourself to be drained by fear irrespective of the fact that we all have invested our money and lots of energy. It is a pity that we are in this position today and our immense involvement has effected my respective clients as I have delayed there case.
 
Well, I think I have done my possible best to creat an avenue of future services and cordial relationship, and I have done my best to save all situation but it seems you willfully do not want to compromise rather, you keep on and repeatedly sending me here and there while i have given you their definite position , of which, I have virtually made you to understand the reason why the money is needed.
 
Now this is a decision you have to sincerely make for the interest of we all because it will be absolutely impossible for the ministry of finance to authorise the release of the fund to you and it will not do us any good if we stand to lose this transaction at this point simply because of fears of sending $6,120. Though the banking rules or policy here might not be the same as yours, but what I am assuring you here is that this transaction is legit and safe.
 
If you want us to actualise and realise this aim, you will find a way to send the fund to the Ministry of finance as directed, so that all our effort, energy and resources will not be a waste.. and be aware that the rapid completion of this project depends largely on you. Meanwhile, If you need a kind of proof of my profession like; identity or my internatiuonal passport copy do let me know, I think this can build more confidence.
 
Have a nice day
