Subject: Hello
Hello
My name is Alhaji Shettima Mohammed Bulama the est.while managing director
of the Bank of the North Nig.Plc.I am contacting you in a benevolent spirit;
utmost confidence and trust to enable us provide a solution to a money transfer
of $14.3M that is presentlty the last resort of my family.I have just been
released from detention on allegaton of embezzelment which i did not do
and has also been placed under survelience of which i can not travel out
of the country for now due to allegations levelled against me while in office
as the Managing director of the bank of the North Nig. Plc of which he is
facing litigations right now.
You may be quite surprised at my sudden contact to you but do not despair,
I got your contact from a business site on the internet and following the
information I gathered about you, I was convinced that you could be of assistance
to me. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you
as a result of what i presently have at hand.On july 2002 an Irish oil consultant/contractor
with the Shell oil overseas.Mr Jack Fischer made a numbered time (fixed)deposit
for twenty-four calender months valued at PRINCIPAL+INTEREST) USD$14,300,000.00
(Fourteen million three hundred thousand united states dollars} in my
bank, While i was still the managing director of my bank,bank of the North
Nig. Plc.Upon maturity,i sent a routine notification to his forwarding address
but got no reply.After a month we sent a reminder and finally we discovered
from his contract employers the Shell oil overseas that Mr Jack Fischer
died from an automobile accident along with the members of his family while
on a tourist trip to Jos Plateau State of Nigeria.On further investigation
i found out that he died without making a (WILL) and all attempts to trace
his next of kin was fruitless.I therefore made further investigation and
discovered that Mr Jack Fischer did not declare any next of kin or relations
.This sum of USD$14,300,000,00 is still sitting in my bank headquarters
and the interest has stopped rolling over with his principal sum at the
end of each year,since no one has ever come forward to claim it.According
to the Nigerian banking law at the experation of three years,the money will
revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to
claim the fund.Consequently my proposal is that i will like you as a foreigner
to stand in as the next of kin to Mr Jack Fischer so that the fruites of
this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt Government
officials.So i decided to contact you at once due to the urgency required
for us to immediately transfer the said funds to your bank account as i
do not have the freedom and liberty to possess the funds now. During the
time i was with the bank i was Mr.Fischer personal finance manager and
this gave me the moral to contact you so that you will lay claim to this
funds with the information i will supply to you .
Since i am no longer with the bank it is very important for you to assist
have the funds in your possessiopn.This is simple,i will like you to provide
immedietelly your full names,telephone & fax numbers and your address so
that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits,which
will put you in place as the next of kin.I have will opened discussion with
an attorny on the drafting and notarization of the (Documents)and to obtain
the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favour
of USD14.3million for the transfer.We would need you as a foreigner acting
as the next of kin and sole benefactor to the inheritance of Mr Jack Fischer
TO CLAIM THESE FUNDS.The money will be paid to you for us to share in the
ratio of (60% OF US$14.3M) for me and (40% of US$14.3M) for you however
i will take care of all the responsibilities here to make sure you receive
the money.I want you to give me some kind of assurance that after the completion
of this arrangement we shall keep my own 60% as agreed.
NOTE; There is no risk or failure at all as i have great confidence in this
transation, it will be done by the attorney and my"position" as a branch
manager guarantees the 100% succesful execution of this particular transaction.If
you are interested,please reply immediately through my private e-mail.Upon
your response,i shall then provide you my identity card with more details
and relevant procedures that will help you understand the transaction.Please
observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that this transaction
would be most pofitable for the both of us because i shall require your
assistance to invest my own share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply through my personal e-mail address:mbulama@myway.com
