Dear Partner,
Compliment of the season.I got to know of you in search for a reputable
and reliable person to assist me in an urgent need requiring utmost trust
and confidentiality. I am Mr.Peter olu the manager in the FOREIGN REMMITTANCE
DEPT. of UNION BANK PLC. I am writing this letter to ask for your support
and co-operation to carry out this business opportunity in my department.
We discovered an abandoned sum of ($30million) Thirty-Million Dollars Only
in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer Mr.Robert Gordon,who
died along with his entire family of a wife and three children in October
2000 in a plane crash.Since we heard of his death, we have been expecting
his next of kin to come over and put claims for his money as the their,
because we can not release the fund from his account unless someone applies
for the claims as the next of kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking
guidelines.
Unfortunately, neither their family member nor distant relatives has ever
appeared to claim the fund.Upon this discovery,I and other officials in
my department have agreed to make a deal with you and release the fund into
your account as the NEXT OF KIN of the decease, since no one came for it
or discovered the maintained account with our Bank otherwise the fund will
be returned to the bank's treasury as unclaimed fund.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of
60% for me and my colleages, and 35% for you,while 5% will be for expenses
both parties might have incurred during the process of the transferring.
After the successful completion of this transaction,one of my colleagues
and I will come to your country and mind our percentage.It is from our
share we intend to import medical equipments into my country as a way of
recycling the fund.
To commence this transaction, we require you to immediately indicate your
interest if this proposal is OK. by you or you do not wish to take advantage
of the trust we hope to bestow on you,then kindly get to meimmediately via
my e-mail (mrpeterolu@yahoo.com).
On getting your response and willingness to do this business with me and
my colleagues,i will then inform you on how and what we are going to do,o.k.
I await your immediate response.
Best Regards.
Mr.Peter olu
Manager.
