DEPT. AT THE EKO BANK OF NIGERIA P. L. C. LAGOS
NIGERIA
WITH DUE RESPECT I HAVE DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU ON A
BUSINESS TRANSACTION THAT WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO BOTH
OF US.
AT THE BANK'S LAST ACCOUNTS/AUDITING EVALUATIONS, MY
STAFFS
CAME ACROSS AN OLD ACCOUNT WHICH WAS BEING MAINTAINED
BY A
FOREIGN CLIENT WHO WE LEARNT WAS AMONG THE DECEASED
PASSENGERS OF AN AIRLINE CRASH ON 6TH NOV. 1997. SINCE
THE
DECEASED WAS UNABLE TO RUN THIS ACCOUNT SINCE HIS
DEATH.
THE ACCOUNT HAS REMAINED DORMANT WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE
OF
HIS FAMILY SINCE IT WAS PUT IN A SAFE DEPOSIT ACCOUNT
IN
THE BANK FOR FUTURE INVESTMENT BY THE CLIENT. SINCE
HIS
DEMISE, NOBODY, NOT EVEN THE MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY
HAVE
APPLIED FOR CLAIMS OVER THIS FUND AND IT HAS BEEN IN
THE
SAFE DEPOSIT ACCOUNT UNTIL WE DESCOVERED THAT IT
CANNOT BE
CLAIMED SINCE OUR CLIENT IS A FOREIGN NATIONAL AND WE
ARE
SURE THAT HE HAS NO NEXT OF KIN HERE TO FILE CLAIMS
OVER
THE MONEY. AS THE DIRECTOR OF THE DEPT, THIS DISCOVERY
WAS
BROUGHT TO MY OFFICE SO AS TO DECIDE WHAT IS TO BE
DONE.
I DECIDED TO SEEK WAYS THROUGH WHICH TO TRANSFER THIS
MONEY
OUT OF THE BANK AND OUT OF THE COUNTRY TOO.
THE TOTAL AMOUNT IN THE ACCOUNTS IS TEN MILLION FIVE
HUNDRED
THOUSAND US DOLLARS (USD 10,500.00). WITH OUR
POSITIONS AS
STAFFS OF THE BANK, WE ARE HANDICAPPED BECAUSE WE CAN
NOT
OPERATE FOREIGN ACCOUNTS AND CANNOT LAY BONAFIDE CLAIM
OVER
THIS MONEY. THE CLIENT IS A FOREIGN NATIONAL AND YOU
WILL
ONLY BE ASKED TO ACT AS HIS NEXT OF KIN AND I WILL
SUPPLY
YOU WITH ALL THE NECESSARY INFORMATIONS AND BANK DATA
TO
ASSIST YOU IN BEING ABLE TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY TO ANY
BANK
OF YOUR CHOICE WHERE THIS MONEY COULD BE TRANSFERRED
INTO.
I HAVE DECIDED TO GIVE AWAY TWENTY FIVE % (25%) TO
YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE AND FIVE (5%) FOR ANY EXPENSES
THAT
MIGHT ARISE DURING THE TRANSACTION OF THIS TRANSFER.
WE
WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS ABSOLUTELY
RISK
FREE SINCE WE WORK IN THIS BANK WHICH IS WHY YOU
SHOULD BE
CONFIDENT IN THE SUCCESS OF THIS TRANSACTION BECAUSE
YOU
WILL BE UPDATED WITH INFORMATION AS AT WHEN DESIRED. I
WILL
PLEASE WISH YOU KEEP THIS TRANSACTION SECRET AS I AM
HOPING TO RETIRE WITH MY SHARE OF THIS MONEY AT THE
END OF
TRANSACTION WHICH WILL BE WHEN THIS MONEY IS SAFELY IN
YOUR
ACCOUNT. I WILL THEN COME OVER TO YOUR COUNTRY FOR
SHARING
ACCORDING TO THE PREVIOUSLY AGREED PERCENTAGES. YOU
MIGHT
EVEN HAVE TO ADVISE ME ON POSSIBILITIES OF INVESTMENT
IN
YOUR COUNTRY OR ELSEWHERE OF OUR CHOICE. PLEASE FOR
FURTHER
INFORMATIONS AND ENQUIRIES FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME
THROUGH
THE ADRESSES LISTED ABOVE. AND DO NOT FAIL TO SEND ME
YOUR
PRIVATE TELEPHONE AND FAX FOR EASIER COMMUNICATION.
THANKS AND REMAIN BLESSED.
DR. OMAR WAZIRI.
