Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled
"Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am promised millions for
my assistance. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner
or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly
come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of
money. I will never see the millions, because they never existed.

Subject: Asking for your Urgent response
Dear Friend,
First, I must apologise to you for using
this medium
to communicate about this
transaction, though it is my great
pleasure
in writing you this letter on behalf of my
colleague and
myself. I am Mr. Idrissa Diop
the Director of Bill and Exchange at
the
Foreign Remittance Department in the bank
where I work. I am
writing to you this
urgent proposal following the impressive
information about you through one of my
friends who runs a
consultancy firm. Though,
I did not disclose to him the nature of my
proposal to you to avoid any leakage. My
colleague and I have
decided to contact you
on a business transaction that will be very
beneficial to both of us at the end. I would
be brief and direct to
ensure you understand
everything properly.
In my department we
discovered an abandoned
Sum of $13.7M USD (Thirteen Million, Seven
Hundred Thousand US Dollars), in an account
that belongs to one of
our foreign
customers, an American by name: Mr. John
Schelpert who
died along with his wife and
other passengers in EgyptAir Flight 990
-
October 31, 1999. Since we got information
about his untimely
death, the fund has been
dormant in his account with my Bank without
any claim, we have been expecting his next
of kin to come over and
claim his money
because we cannot release it unless somebody
applies for it as next of kin or relation to
the deceased and the
person must be a
foreigner as indicated in our banking
guidelines.
Before our observation in this
development, we discovered that the
owner of
the account died without a Heir/WILL hence
the money is
floating and if I do not remit
this money out urgently it will be
forfeited
for nothing. The Banking law and guideline
here
stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after Six (6) years,
the money
will be transfered into the Bank treasury
account as
unclaimed fund. It is therefore
upon this discovery that I and my
junior
colleague in the bank now decided to make
this businness
proposal to you and release
the money to you as the next of kin or
relation to the deceased for safety and
subsequent disbursement since
nobody is
coming for it and we do not want this money
to go into
the Bank treasury as unclaimed
Bill.
Meanwhile the whole
arrangement to put claim
over these fund as the bonafide next of kin
to the deceased and transfer this money to a
foreign account has
been put in place.
Directives and needed information will be
relayed to you as soon as you indicate your
interest and willingness
to assist us and
also benefit from this great business
opportunity.
We could have done this deal on
our own, but because of our position
in this
country operating a local account would
eventually raise an
eye brow on my side
during the time of transfer because I work
in
this bank.
This is the actual reason why it will
require foreigner
as second party that will
forward claims as the next of kin to the
Bank and also present a designated safe
foreign account where he will
need the money
to be transferred into after due
verification and
clearification by the bank.
May I at this point emphasize that this
transaction is a successful arrangement, and
as an insider of the
bank I have the
capacity to monitor that everything is
smoothly
perfected. On smooth conclusion of
this transaction, you will be
entitled to
your own share of the total sum as
gratification We
have agreed that 20 % of
this money will be for you as our foreign
partner, in respect to the provision of a
foreign account, 5% will be
set aside for
expenses incured during the business and 75%
would be
for me and my colleague. There
after I and my colleague will visit
your
country for disbursement according to the
percentages
indicated.
This share of yours is negotiable as long as
it is
reasonable. Please, you have been
adviced to keep this information a
topsecret
as we are still in service and intend to
retire from
service after we conclude this
deal with you. I will be monitoring
the
whole situation here in this bank until you
confirm the money
in your account and ask us
to come down to your country for
subsequent
sharing of the fund according to percentages
we shall
agree upon. All other necessary
information will be sent to you on
your
acceptance to champion this transaction with
us. I suggest you
get back to me as soon as
possible, stating your wish in this deal.
Please do call me on my direct line for more
clearifications: 00 221
560 3589.
Thanks and best regards.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Idrissa
Diop
