STRICTLY PERSONAL
I respectfully and humbly want you to assist us and act as benefactor to
this transaction. I have written a very confidential letter to you by post
which i believe you may have
received by now. I am MR.GREG OKARO a Branch Manager with STANDARD TRUST
BANK PLC ,IKEJA-AREA BRANCH. I am contacting you based on trust and confidentiality
that will be attached to this deal because business is all about trust.
The Management and the Legal department of our BANK (STB PLC) in a recent
meeting recommended late MR. MARK JOHNSON'S dollar account be declared dormant
and confiscated, according to Nigerian Banking and Financial law. Late MARK
JOHNSON is a foreigner based in Nigeria unfortunately, he died 3 years ago.
He is an account holder in my branch, he owns a dollars account with the
sum of USD$12 million (Twelve Million Dollars)deposited in the account.
In fact, it happened that since his death nobody has shown up as his next
of kin and every inquiry conducted by our bank to trace any member of his
family failed.
Therefore, I want you to come in as the relation of the deceased before
his money gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by our bank head quarters.
As insiders ,we will assist to see that the money is transferred into your
account within shortest period. I want you to write to my bank and ask them
to transfer late MARK JOHNSON'S money to you that you have found out that
he has $12million deposited in your branch which you want to lay claim legally
as the next of kin, so that you and us will share the $12million than loosing
it to the bank.
We will share the money 70% to us that is our accountant and myself,30%
to you. We will endorse all the documents from my branch that will enable
you to claim the money without any problem. I will present you and stand
by you as the next of kin to the late Mark Johnson. There are two of us
in this deal, our accountant and myself. If you have accepted to act as
the next of kin to the deceased reply to me immediately so that i will direct
you on how to go about it, because every documentation has to be done through
appropriate legal means and legitimately. I guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and us from
any breach of the law .
Get in touch with me now, am waiting for your response.
MR.GREG OKARO
