Good day,
My name is Mr. Ebube Dikeh, I am a senior partner in the firm of Infinity Consultants "Private Investigators and Security Consultants". We are conducting a standard process investigation on behalf of "BIAO-CI", the International Banking conglomerate in Ivory coast, republic of cote d'ivoire. This investigation involves a client who shares the same surname with you and also the circumstances surrounding investments made by this client at "BIAO" headquaters, the Private Banking arm of BIAO. The BIAO Private Banking client died in testate and nominated no successor in title over the investments made with the bank. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail private and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail.
I contact you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.
You share similar details to the late fellow; I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct the firm to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you, that is, I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50. I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. But on the other hand, you with the same very name as the depositor's would easily pass as the beneficiary with right to claim. I assure you that I will have the deposit released to you within few days.
Bon, j'élimine la suite — aussi longue — pour vous livrer l'habituelle conclusion…
I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should plan a meeting, soon.
Le plus amusant, c'est que cela fonctionne, qu'il y a des internautes pour se faire attraper. Je vous renvoie au coup de la loterie qui était plus poétique…
Bon, juste un truc qui me chiffonne, je ne me nomme pas unlisted-recipients…!
