My name is Jacque P. Woods; I am a senior partner in the firm of Midland Consulting limited, London.
I happened to have made consultations and investigations on behalf of HSBC Private Banking Division, concerning one Mr. Vance K. Walker,and an investment he made with the aforementioned Bank a few years ago. According to our reports to HSBC Private Banking, Mr. Walker Died last year in Cannes South of France. Prior to his death, he had instructed his account officer to liquidate and deposit his fund as cash totaling (Twelve Million, Six Hundred Pounds) with United Asset Management; a Security Consultancy Firm in mainland Europe.
United Asset Management; the Security Consultancy Firm had written to HSBC Private Banking, in respect to the inactivity status of the particular portfolio, which thus triggered the investigation into the where-about of Mr. Walker.
Since we now know what happened to Mr. Walker, and have exhausted all avenues to locate a next of kin to Mr. Walker, it is our intention therefore to nominate someone we feel we can trust, and we feel would be willing to help us as the beneficiary to his funds.
This will be easy as the Account Officer has the sole responsibility of endorsing who we bring forward as next of kin, and moreover this gives us 100 percent guarantee and full proof. We shall give you further information and discuss how the funds be shared amongst us involved as soon as you accept our proposal.
If you assist us in all expenses made before we get the funds transfered to your nominated account; the share shall be :60 percent for my collegue and I, 30 percent for you and 10 percent for any expenses we might incure before the money is fully transfered to your account, including phones call and any other expenses. But if we have to bring in a financier that will assist us in all expenses before transfer, the share shall be: 60 percent for my colegue and I, 10 percent for you, 20 percent for the financier and 10percent for all expenses.
Please do take note of this. Even though you may think that this is an aberration of our duties, but if you are familiar with Private Banking regulations, you will realize that as soon as this investigation comes to a close; which of course it will soon, the funds will be reclaimed by the Bank itself.
Should you be interested in my proposal, contact me immediately so that I can notify and provide you with the contact information of my Lawyer and have you both discussing the modus operandi of the business. I contact you independently of our normal investigation and no one knows about this communication and I respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail very confidential. Best regards.

He told us that he used my brothers name (Benjamin) as the next of Kin in depositing the money.
He then strongly advised us not to seek for assistance in the investment of the money from his lawyer nor any of his friend here but to seek for a foreign partner from a country of our choice (outside our country, Cote D'Ivoire) that willl assist us in the wise investment of the money.We have since left the money in the bank with the view of our making use of it for investment purposes after our education carrier here. But as you may be already aware by now, our country (Cote D’Ivoire) is presently at political crises. Rebels have already taken over t he whole Northern part of the country and making efforts towards the capture of the commercial center of the country, Abidjan, where we are now.
For this ugly development in this country, we have now decided to take quick actions and have this money transferred out of this country before it is too late to do that. We now want to transfer it out and use it for investment purpose like real estate management or hotel management. Because of this we are honorably seeking your assistance in the following ways:
(1) To serve as a guardian to us and then assist us transfer the money into your bank account. (2) To make arrangement for us to come over to your country to further our education and then settle there parmanently.
If you accept to stand as our guardian or foster parent to us, we need not discuss on any percentage with you as you have to see the whole money as yours and then assist us invest it. But if you still want a percentage, we are willi ng to offer you, 20 % of the total money as compensation for your assistance. Pleas tell us if you feel the percentage we offered is not ok by you.
As soon as we receive your concrete assurance to assist us with our proposal and also your full contact address/phone number, we will then give the bank your contact information and then tell them to transfer the money into your account as we want to come over to stay with you parmanently. The bank will then contact you and communicate with you on the transfer. You shall then be giving us information on when the transfer will be over. We shall also send our pictures to you and shall also need yours too.

I am Mrs Sandra Williams, the wife of Mr.George Williams My Husband was a highly reputable business magnet-(a cocoa merchant)who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously after one of his business trips abroad .Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by his uncle who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth!
Before his death he called me in the hospital and told me that he has the sum of fifteen million,five hundred thousand United State Dollars in a trunk box(USD$15.500,000) Which he deposited in one of the Security company here in Cote D Ivoire Africa.
Now I am just a widow with two children, and really don't know what to do now, I want an account overseas where I can transfer this funds.
This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.The death of my Husband actually brought sorrow to my life.
I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded and i will like you to come down here if possible so that we can meet face to face and i will take you to the security company were my late husband deposited the trunk box which contents the money.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:- 1. Can you honestly help me as a widow?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is been transferd in to your account?
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible. Email me through my personal box.
This mail will definitely be coming to you as a surprise, but I must crave your indulgence to introduce myself to you.
I am Mr.GODWILL KONE, a supervisory manager at the BICCICI Bank Ltd, ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE. However I got your contact through the International web directory.
Recently we discovered a Dormant Account with a huge Amount of Money Valued USD17, 600,000.00 (Seventeen Million, six hundred Dollars Only) that belongs to One of our late Customer MR. MAXWELL BORAGO who died In a plane crash. During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my Department came Across a very huge sum of money belongin g to MR.MAXWELL BORAGO from GAMBIA, NORTH AFRICA, who died along with his wife, MRS.FAITH BORAGO and Daughter, MS.ROSE BORAGO so the fund has Been dormant in his account with this Bank without Any claim of the fund in our custody either from his Family or relation before Our discovery to this developme nt.
The Banking law here stipulates that if such money re mains unclaimed for 15 years, it will be forfeited &nbs p;to the Bank Treasury as an unclaimed bill. It is only a foreigner that can stand as a next of kin and it is upon this discovery that I decided to contact you to collaborate with you to pull out this dormant fund. In order to avert this negative development. On behalf of my trusted colleagues we now seek your permission to have you stand in as next of kin to Our late Customer so that the fund will be released and paid into your account as the beneficiary?s next of kin now that the bank is still expecting a next of kin or relative of the deceased, MR.MAXWELL BORAGO.
We could have done this deal alone but because of our position in this country as civil servants, we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and that would eventually raise an eye brow on our side during the time of transfer since we still work in this bank, this is the actual reason why we required a second party or fellow who will assist us forward claims as the next of kin and also pro vide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c immediately to receive this fund, even an empty a/c can also serve for this purpose.
However, on smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 25% as gratification for your ass istance to us, while 5% will be set aside to take care of expenses on both sides that may arise during the time of transfer and also for telephone bills, and the remaining 70% will be for me and my colleague. What I want from you is for you to act as the deceased next of kin. I have in my possession, all the nece ssary Documents to successfully accomplish the operation. Bear in mind that this proposal is 100% ris k free. Further Information will be given to you as soon as I receive your positive response. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish.
