FROM THE DESK OF:DR. AMAZU AGU
POSTION:SENIOR MANAGER,BILLS AND EXCHANGE
REPLY TO: amazuagu@uymail.com
Dear Sir/madam
I sincerely write to seek co-operation and trust to enable my colleagues
and I carry out an urgent business opportunity in my department.I work with
United Bank for Africa Plc,
(UBA PLC) currently i am the senior manager of bills and exchange at the
foreign remittance department of my bank. I have an urgent and confidential
business proposal for you. On June 6, 2000, an Australian oil consultant/contractor
with via Nigerian National Petroluem Corporation (NNPC) Mr. Hildorf C.Herlms.
Made a numbered time (fixed) deposit for twelve carlendar month valued
at US$30,000,000 (thirty million US Dollars) in my branch. On maturity,
i sent a routine notification to his forwarded address but got no reply
after months we send a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract
employees(Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation) that Mr. Hildorf C. Herlms
died an automobile accident. On further investigation, it was clear that
he died without making a WILL. All attempts by the Australian to trace his
next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered
that Mr. Hildorf C. Herlms did not declare any next of kin or relations
in all his official documents including his deposit document in my bank.The
total sum US$30,000,000 is still in my bank as dormant account. no one will
ever come forward to claim it.
According to Nigerian banking law,after five years the money will revert
to the ownership of the Nigerian Government. If the account owner is certified
death and nobody comes forward to claim it. This is the situation,and my
proposal is that i am looking for a foreigner who will stand in as the
beneficiary/next of kin. This is simple, all you have to do is to immediately
send me the details of a bank account any where in the world for me to arrange
the proper money transfer document.The money will then be transfered into
the account for us to share in the ration of 60% for me 30% for you while
the remaining 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred with here and
there.
There is no risk involved. I am using my position and connection in the
bank here to do all the documents work for the transaction. We shall employ
the services of an attorney to draft the will and obtain all necessary documents
and letter of administration in your favour for the transfer. This transaction
is risk free and guaranteed.
If you are interested, i will send to you the text of the application
that you will send to the United Bank for Africa Plc. authority for an
approval to submit your claim.
Indicate your direct Fax and telephone numbers for effective communication
that this transaction needs. Please note that you are not to appear in
person,as everything regarding this project will be strictly on documentations
and every banking documents needed for this transaction will be taken care
of by myself.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Yours Faithfully
Dr. AMAZU AGU
