I am Dr Abbas mohamed sellam the manager Audit & Accounts
dept. in the African Development Bank (A.D.B). I am writing to request your
assistance to transfer the sum of $15, 000.000.00 [Fifteen million, United States
dollars) into your accounts. The above sum belongs to our deceased
customer late Mr. John korovo who died along with his entire family in the Benin plane
crash 2005 and since then the fund has been in a suspense account.
After my further investigation, I discovered that Mr. John korovo died with his
next of kin and according to the laws and constitution guiding this banking
institution, it states that after the expiration of (7) seven years, if no body
or person comes for the claim as the next of kin, the fund will be transferred
to national treasury as unclaimed fund. Because of the static of this transaction
I want you to stand as the next of kin so that our bank will accord you the
recognition and have the fund transferred to your account.
The total sum will be shared as follows: 60% for me, 40% for you and all
incidental expenses that may occur during the transfer process will be incurred
by both of us.The transfer is risk free on both sides hence you will follow my
instructions till the fund get to your account. More detailed
informations with the official application form will be Forwarded to you to explain
more comprehensively what is required of you. You are free to call me through
my private telephone number.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
