Dear Ethel Trellis,

Thanks for your mail and the details you sent, I have very good confidence and faith to build up this deal with you hence you can keep it very secret, remember to send the copy of your driver’s license asap or your family photo to me.However, I am sending you the text of application which you shall fill urgent and send to the bank authority, Remember that this business has to be a top priority to you because this business means a lots to me with regards to the amount involved, keep it very secret.therefore, I advice you to come out with your full mind and do this business fast with me as I do assure you that this business is 100% risk free.

In the afternoon time , I have submitted the official application for claim to the management of Alliance Credit Finance in your favour believing that you have truly made up your mind to assist me as we move for the claims of this outstanding contract payment. I am aware of the fact that we are new to each other, but I believe that we have taken the right gradual step with which we will come to know each other the more. The statutory filling notarization fee of $820 was also taken care of by me so we can take off this transaction in earnest.

However, it will benefit both of us if we should treat this matter confidential and the way I should instruct in order for us to get this outstanding deposit with the bank released and transferred to your nominated bank account. It is now necessary that you contact the bank were this deposit is made as the next of kin to late Mr. Bruce Trellis as I have already perfected every necessary documentation to back this claim and to legally certify that you are the next of kin to the deceased contractor. I hope you can handle this even from your temporary base in England.

I have to express my sincere appreciations to you for dedicating your time for this transaction though I know that it is for the mutual benefits of both of us. However, the level of success we achieved depends on the trust we are able to build on each other and the importance which we accord to this transaction. Now what is required from you is to contact the bank which is currently holding this contract payment and confirm to them that you are the next of kin to the late Mr. Bruce Trellis (Registered Foreign Contractor) as a confirmation to the application which I have submitted to them in your favour.

Dear Mr Ikenga

That wouldn’t be Bruce “squiffy” Trellis would it? Wears a monocle, used to run a Whelk stall in North Wales in the late 1970’s but vanished following some unpleasantness involving a serving wench from the “Dog and Bucket” in the days when it was a proper public house and not one of these overpriced watering holes for incomers from the fleshpots of the south.

What a small world it is!

50/50 is fine, and it would be nice to see something going to charity. How may I assist you further in this endeavour?

Yours Sincerely

Mrs Trellis

Dear Mrs Trellis,Thank you for your prompt response to my message. The information that I have sent to you in my previous letter e-mail for you is inside information. My motivation in this regard is clear that I seek your cooperation in the recovery of a contract of this unclaimed outstanding payment due at the end of my client for a contract in which he performed for the government of our country, Cote d Ivory years back.I decided to undertake this mission based on the premises that justice must be done and that I can not take on alone, I decided to confide in you and ask for your help with this matter .

Let me take this opportunity to bring to your attention that the late Bruce Trellis who was a resident registered in our country was the source of your country, but in the long migrated to Europe, before finally coming to settle here , in Africa. Although I do sincerely believe that you may or may not be related to the end of my client, I do not find it convenient to contact you because of the urgency of the issue that we run a race against the clock to prevent the public trustee in the liquidation of outstanding payment if it is not claimed within the time prescribed as they have stated in their opinion the approval registry of the high court. However serious and enormous this transaction might look or sound, be assured that when the necessary steps are taken, then we have a good chance of having the funds transferred within 14 working days of creation.

The Ivory Coast Ministry of Finance in cooperation with the bank where the contract Unclaimed funds are deposited have agreed on a resolution and have jointly commissioned the register approval to provide his next of kin to claim more because of this long outstanding contract or payment of funds will be returned to the Government of cash unclaimed funds and unusable as stipulated in our country Act public property at the expiration of a deadline given approval registry . At a point of desperation, I came across your name / email while trying to follow a link on the internet to find any report of the end of the contractor and believe that you may be able to act instead of the late entrepreneur as his next Parents and obtain approval for the immediate release of this extraordinary funds to you, I have seen fit to contact you and seek your cooperation in updating this once in a lifetime opportunity.

I do not know how far it can go with you, but it is useful if we join hands, we can not allow the sweat of men to pass over to be confiscated by the Conseil d ‘ Trustees of the Public Trustee, and eventually abroad Accounts of the page when there are politicians legitimate ways in which we can acquire this money for ourselves. By virtue of my position here in the ministry, it is my responsibility to establish that you legally the next of kin beneficiary of the deceased person, and I gladly contractor shall provide any paperwork to substantiate this. The most important factor is to ensure that there is sufficient sincereity, confidence and transparency in all our dealings on the release and transfer of these funds by the bank.I knew that the late Bruce Trellis for well over twelve years that we were close confidants, I helped to create a brokerage firm here in Abidjan in 2000 and since then we have grown close. I must be frank with you, I had never met any of his relationships and in turn it has been very comfortable here. In fact, he was installed here, just like most other expatriate American, Asian and European origins and is thriving in his efforts comercial. Until his death, aged 62, he was residing at 2, rue Fleming, Zone 4 Abidjan. I was on this issue and has initiated since several searches to locate a well-meaning parent of the deceased person who helped in research and repartriation of this outstanding contract funds of the late contractor, but I hate to confess that all my efforts were Infructueuse.

As for the immediate issue at hand, I have witnessed when the late Bruce Trellis company has signed a certificate awarding the contract with the Ministry of Works and Housing, here in Abidjan. The total value of the contract was placed at $ 37, he was paid to the mobilization payment of $ 13 million and completion of the contract, he was paid $ 17.2 million a month before his untimely death to bring its total payment received by him in the amount of US $ 30.2 million, which is not yet up to the value of the contact which was awarded to him.Now the outstanding amount of 6, 8 million United States dollars is currently unclaimed and waiting to be paid, but this has not been done because no relative of the Deacesed contractor has submitted applications for funds.

This cash deposit matured for a long time for the transfer, but the bank wants a possible relative to present as a witness for the final payment of this outstanding fund contract. Given the limited time available to us to make our case in this case, I would like us to go with the other in a hurry to save the funds.The problem is that it pays for us to use this opportunity and pursue the issue as I have suggested that the loss entirely to the government which will confiscate or in their own term “absorption” of the entire heritage of the late Bruce contractor, a boon for both the government and Officials of the banks. The success of this operation is our collective responsibility and I would propose to set aside 10% of the stock and share the money to various charities while we share the remaining 90%, 50 – 50. Let me know your thoughts on this subject.

It will interest you to know that, after the death of a businessman and management of the bank has made several contacts to trace his next of kin who must make claims of this fund, but without success was due made.I Very professional reason and I think it will be legally correct to present you as the next of kin of the deceased my client and the sole beneficiary of the funds outstanding contract. The rest is between you and me and with my guide, we may ask for the fund by placing themselves as the next of kin to my late client, once the money was released and transferred, we might as well continue the search to find a parent who died, but what matters most at this moment is the safety of funds.

I have in my possession, copies of the contract documents that we will not face any problems or difficulties in defending any claims we make. The documents are mainly suitable for this transaction. Upon receipt of your next letter, in which I ask you to provide more information about you, such as address, telephone and fax numbers, age, marital status and occupation present, I can transmit copies Contractual documents in my custody that you save your file purpose thereof. The information I have requested will be used for filling and submitting a formal request for the claims in your favor to both the Ministry and the Bank and are also used for the treatment of releases and transfers of funds. Call me on the telephone number below should you need more clarification on this matter.
