DEAR SIR,

I AM FRANK EDWARD, BANK MANAGER; LONG TERM FIXED DEPOSIT DEPARTMENT, OF TRADEVCO BANK OF LIBERIA.  I HAVE URGENT AND VERY CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSTION FOR YOU.

ON JUNE 1999, AN AMERICAN MINNING CONSULTANT/CONTRACTOR WITH THE LIBERIAN MINNING CORPORATION.  MR KEN POWER NUMBERED TIME (FIXED) DEPOSIT FOR TWELVE CALENDAR MONTHS IN MY BRANCH.  UPON MATURITY, WE SENT A ROUTINE NOTIFICATION TO HIS FORWARDING ADDRESS BUT GOT NO REPLY.  AFTER A MONTH, WE SENT A REMINDER AND FINALLY WE DISCOVERED FROM HIS CONTRACT EMPLOYER, THE LIBERIAN MINNING CORPORATION THAT MR. KEN POWER DIED FROM AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT.  ON FURTHER ENQUIRY, WE FOUND OUT HE DIED WITHOUT MAKING A WILL AND ALL ATTEMPTS TO TRACE HIS NEXT OF KIN WAS UNSUCCESSFUL.

I THEREFORE MADE FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND DISCOVERED THAT MR. KEN POWER DID NOT DECLARE ANY NEXT OF KIN OR RELATION IN HIS OFFICIAL DOCUMENT, INCLUDING HIS BANK DEPOSIT PAPER WORK IN MY BANK.  THIS SUM US$14,200,000 IS STILL SITTING IN MY BANK AND THE INTEREST IS BEING ROLLED OVER WITH THE PRINCIPAL SUM.  ACCORDING TO LIBERIA FINANCIAL LAW OF UNCLAIMED DEPOSIT AFTER FIVE YEARS OF EXPIRATION THE FUNDS WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO TREASURY ACCOUNT, WITH THE FEDERALRESERVE BANK AS FREE FUNDS FOR THE GOVERNMENT.

CONSEQUENTLY, THE NEED TO CONTACT YOU IN ORDER TO STAND IN AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO MR. KEN POWER SO THAT THE FRUITS OF THIS OLD MAN'S LABOUR WILL NOT GET INTO THE HANDS OF SOME CORRUPT GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS.  THIS IS LEGAL, SIMPLE AND CLEAR.  I WILL LIKE YOU TO RPOVIDE IMMEDIATELY YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS SO THAT AN ATTORNEY WILL PREPARE THE NECCESARY DOCUMENTS AND AFFIDAVITS, WHICH WILL PUT YOU IN PLACE THE NEXT OF KIN.  WE SHALL EMPLOY THE SERVICE OF AN ACCREDITED ATTORNEY FOR THE DRAFTING AND NOTARIZATION OF THE WILL AND TO OBTAIN THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND LETTER OF PROBATE/ADMINISTRATION IN YOUR FAVOUR FOR THE TRANSFER.  A BANK ACCOUNT IN ANY PART OF THE WORLD, WHICH YOU WILL PROVIDE, WILL THEN FACILITATE THE TRANSFER OF THIS MONEY TO YOU AS THE BENEFICIARY/NEXT OF KIN.  THE MONEY WILL BE PAID INTO YOUR ACCOUNT FOR US TO SHARE IN THE RATIO OF 60% FOR ME AND 40% FOR YOU.

THERE IS NO RISK AT ALL AS THE PAPER WORK FOR THE ATTORNEY AND MY POSITION AS THE BRANCH MANAGER GUARANTEES THE SUCCESSFUL EXECUTION OF THIS TRANSACTION.  IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, PLEASE REPLY IMMEDIATELY VIA TELEPHONE, FAX OR E-MAIL ABOVE.  UPON YOUR RESPONSE, I SHALL THEN PROVIDE YOU WITH MORE DETAILS AND RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT WILL HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE TRANSACTION.

PLEASE OBSERVE UTMOST CONFIDENTIALITY, AND REST ASSURED THAT THIS TRANSACTION WOULD BE MOST PROFITABLE FOR BOTH OF US BECAUSE I SHALL REQUIRE YOUR ASSISTANCE TO INVEST MY SHARE IN YOUR COUNTRY.

AWAITING YOUR URGENT REPLY THROUGH THE ABOVE TELEPHONE, FAX OR E-MAIL ADDRESS.


BEST REGARDS,

FRANK EDWARD
