Dear Friend,
Compliment of the new month,My name is Mr Jim Ovia I am the Managing Director
with Zenith Bank Plc, I am 54 yrs old man, I have occupied this position
for the past 13yrs.The reason I contacted you is thus: In my bank we have
a customer who based here in Nigeria with his entire family, has been banking
with our bank for the past {9yrs}, he was an oil Exporter with the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation {NNPC}.
Suddenly, he was driving home with his wife and two kids their car ran into
a Trailer load of woods at Lagos-Ibadan Express high way, their car got
burnt that no soul survived in the accident of which he died with his entire
family their bodies was buried at Lagos State Cemetery on the 18th of August
2003,even his pictures was advertised all over the TV Stations.
Sir, this our customer deposited US$37.4 million United state of American
dollars with our bank and since his death our officials has tried their
possible means of reaching his family members or his distant relatives to
come and claim his money but they were no where to be found, our bank officials
has sent a massage to his Embassy to help us locate any of his family members
to come and claim his money from our bank but till date his Ambassador where
not able to locate his family members.
Right now our bank has mandated that by the end of this year, if none of
his family members or his relatives come for the claiming of his funds the
bank will be trading/importing goods from his account which means our bank
will be using his money for turnover.
Sir, the reason I contacted you is thus: I want you to assist me receive
this money into your bank account, I only want you to stand as the far distant
relative to our late customer. On this note you will only write an application
letter to our bank requesting the funds to be wired into your account as
the next of Kin to our late Customer who died in Auto Accident.
Sir, I have all the documents to back-you claim this money from my bank,
and as an insider who work with the bank, I will supply you every information
which my bank will required from you as a relative to the deceased customer.
As soon as the funds are wired into your account,I will give you 35% for
assisting me while 60% is for me while 5% is map out for any expenses. You
will be the one to provide account which will use to transfer the funds
into your account.
