The World Complex gets mail

We recently received the following:


From :Dr.Kola Martins
Abidjan, Cote  d' Ivoire.
West Africa
 
Dear Sir,

Permit me to intruduce my good self,my name is Dr.Kola Martins . I work
with the Bank of Africa Abidjan, Cote D'IVoire as an accountant Foreign operation department. In the discharge of my duty on this domiciliary  account that has remained dormant for three years now with Four Million  Eight Hundred Thousand US Dollars ($4.8M) in it.

I  have made all the enquiries and discovered that the account holder  died in Auto-crash without leaving no next of kin to the fund deposit.  I am writing you so that I can work with you to remit the fund  into  your account as the next of kin / beneficiary to the fund.

It is simple process which will take a short while to process. outside  this, the bank management will confiscate the money if there is no one  that comes for the fund as you will be acting as the appointed  beneficiary to the fund of which the depositor deposited the fund in  the suspence account and a Foreign Partner is his next of kin which he  did not indicated.

If I hear from you, I will tell you all you need to Know about the fund  deposit for us to procced with the transaction.

Also provide me your direct telephone to reach you.

Thanks and God bless you.
Dr.Kola Martins
