Dearest, Complements of the season I am the manager United Bank of Egypt(UBE). in my bank we discovered an abandoned sum $33.3usd (thirty three million three hundred thousand U.S. dollars only) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer, by name, Mr. Bob Robert Chapman, African area director for Wycliffe bible translators international,who died along with his wife, Ruth Chapman, in January 2000 in a Kenyan plane crash in the coast of Abidjan, ivory coast. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his m0ney because we can not release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. unfortunately, we learnt that his supposed next of kin died along with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. it is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in the bank now decided to make business with you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation of the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into federal goverment account as unclaimed bill. the banking law and the guidelines here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after three years the money will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an Egyptian cannot stand as next of kin for a foreigner. we agree that a certain percentage of this money will be for you as our foreign partner. thereafter my colleague and I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage agreed. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of the fund to you as arranged. you must apply first to the bank as a relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank account number and location wherein the money will be remitted. upon receipt of your reply I will send to you the text of the application. As soon as you receive this letter, you should contact me through my e-mail address above. Trusting to hear from you immediately. Yours faithfully Maher Labib Abou Steit General Manager, UBE. Note: all transactions will be through email as calls are strictly monitored down hear in the complex. ___________________________________________________ GO.com Mail Get Your Free, Private E-mail at http://mail.go.com
