Attn:name removed
This mail may come to you as a surprise but I plead with you to patiently
read through it before making a decision whether to assist me or not.
My name is Yassin Bayo. I am a staff of a reputable bank in Brikama the
Republic of Gambia. For some years now, I have being the personal account
officer to the late Mr. Mark Duncan, a national of your country, who was an
oil consultant / contractor with the Gambian oil Corporation. made a
numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for Twelve Calendar months, valued at
US$6,500,000.00 (Six Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) in my branch.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got no reply. On Friday, 14 January, 2000, 14:22 GMT, My customer, his wife
and their three children perished in a plane crash [WITH LIBYAN AIRLINE]
with other foreign oil workers aboard as you can confirm it yourself
through the website below.

All occupants of the plane unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I
have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my customer's
extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted
you. I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money and property
left behind by My customer before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by my bank where this huge deposit were lodged. Particularly,
The investigation Department of my bank where the deceased had an account
valued US$6,500,000.00 (Six Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) have
issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confiscated within the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 7 years
now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you are a foreigner, so that the proceeds of this account valued at
$6.5 million dollars can be paid to you then allowed the wicked government
officials to transfer the funds left behind to their own private accounts,
than you and i can share the money.50% to me and 50% to you.
I have all necessary Informations/doucment that can be used to back up any
claim we may make. This money (US$6,500,000.00) is still lying in my Bank
and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of
each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. And according to Laws
of Republic of Gambia,at the expiration of 8 (Eight) Years, the money will
revert to the ownership of The Gambia Government as unclaimed deposit of a
deceased customer.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us carry this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. There is no
risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the
bank accredited attorney and my position as the personal account officer to
Late Mr.Mark guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.lf you
are interested in giving the required assistance, kindly reply this mail
stating: Your full Name,Private Telephone/Fax numbers for further action.
Because of the secrecy surrounding this transaction, l suggests that you
contact me only via my private email: bayofibgm@aim.com
l am looking forward to a favorable reply from you soon. Feel free to ask
any question in this regard.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr Yassin Bayo
