From Dr. Joe Roland
Union Bank Of Nigeria PLC.
Victoria Island
Lagos.
Sir,
I am the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of Union
Bank of Nigeria PLC. With due respect and regard. I got your contact from
INTERNET SEARCH ENGINE in search for some one I will trust. I have decided
to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to
both of us at the end of the transaction. I have been monitoring a very
huge sum of money belonging to one Mr. Carlos Ngunyen, who died on October
31st 1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account
with our Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his
family or relation before our discovery to this development.The said amount
was U.S $4.5M (Four Million Five Hundred Thousand United States dollars).
As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through
the internet. Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this
fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval
and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives
and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your
interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this
great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in
this country as a civil servant (A Banker),we are not allowed to operate
a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during
the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason
why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as
the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to the Bank and also present
a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into
on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by
the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted
from to your own designation bank account. I will not fail to inform you
that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction,you
will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 5% will
be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of
transfer and also telephone bills, while 65% will be for me and my partners
here in our bank who know about the money.Please, you have been adviced
to keep "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire fromservice
after we conclude this deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm
the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent
sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further
investment, either in your country or any country you may even advice. All
other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from you.
I look forward to receive your e-mail urgently, in other for us to start
the transaction with out delay.
Yours faithfully,
Dr Joe Roland
