FROM MR WISDOM JOSHUA,
I sincerely write to seek your co-operation and trust to enable me
carry out an urgent business Opportunity in my department.
I work with A High Reputable financial institute, currently
I am in charge of bills and exchange at the foreign remittance
department of my institute. I was the account officer to one
Mr. & Mrs. Walter Mark Edward who worked with Chevron Oil
company ,Who died along with his wife in the December 25th,
2003 Air Crash in Benin Republic.
He left in his domiciliary account the total sum of Fifteen million
five hundred thousand USA Dollars. Since the management got the
information of his death we have been expecting any of his relation
or his next of kin to come up and claim his money.
Unfortunately from the day of his death till the time of this
letter none of his relation or friends has come up for the claim.
The financial law of my Institution stipulates that if such fund
remained unclaimed after a period of Three Years{3} it will be
lost to the institute as unclaimed deposit.
On this note, I now decided to do business with you and release the
money to you as the next of kin to the deceased for subsequent
disbursement among us. I will soon proceed for my retirement leave,
and I personally do not want this fund to be lost to the institute.
That is why I wanted the fund to be move out of the institute before
I proceed on my retirement from the institutional services. The need
for a foreigner as next of kin in this project is occasioned by the
fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Blennioid will not
perfectly fit in as his next of kin or heir, thereafter I will visit
your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
I wish to bring to your notice that I have deposited the fund to a
security vault and upon the receipt of your mail indicating your
interest,
I will send you some vital information needed by you to collect the
fund from the security vault and as well notify the security vault
that you are the original beneficiary of the fund.
What I need from you at this point time is your full co-operation to
enable you collect this fund from the security vault.
You should also send me your Complete Contact information like:
Your Complete Names:
Your contact Address:
Your direct phone/fax numbers and your e-mail address.
Your Age and Occupation:
Get back to me if your are interested so that i can feed you with more information.
NB: Contact me through my personal Email address: wsdmj101@yahoo.co.uk
