Subject: Information For you As Next Of Kin
Attention:
I am {Mrs Elizabeth Durojaiye },External Account Officer with the Metro Bank Plc here in Nigeria . I am writing following the impressive information about you through an internet geonological research .And as the personal Accounts Manager/Advicer to ENGINEER ANDERSON GONDAL, who used to work with an Oil servicing Firm in Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my client On April 21, 1999. He was involved in a ghastly auto crash/ accident along Sagamu express way. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.Since then I have made several inquiries to his embassy to locate any of my client's extended Relatives,but all this has also proved unsuccessful.
In my department , we discovered a long term deposited fund of ($6.5 million United State dollars) in an account which belong to a foriegn customer who died along side with his family in a car accident in as stated Since the bank management received the information about his death . the management have been expecting his next of kin to come over for his or her claim as the huge fund can not be release unless somebody applies for it legally as the beneficiary / next of kin to the deceased / fund as indicated in our banking guide.
Unfurtunately all efforts to locate the next of kin to the deceased by the bank management proved abortive Now as the personal accountant to the deceased, after much official enquiry / verification through the deposit files of the deceased , I was able to realise that his supposed next of kin died along side with him at the car accident in April 21, 1999 .
The banking law and guideline act 00.02 of the foreign beneficiary fund release stipulates that if such fund remain uncliamed after the exsisting period of four years , as the fund shall be automatically transfered into the national treasury account as uncliamed bill . As the personal accountant to the deceased, I therefor decide to make business with you by releasing the fund { ($6.5 million United State dollars) to you as the next of kin to the deceased for safe keeping of the fund / subsequent disbursement as i do not want the fund to be transfered into the national treasury as unclaimed fund .
Your full names, telephone/fax numbers,mailing address,age and occupation would be required to enable us carry out effect process on this transfer based on trust and honesty.
Note : This transaction is 100% risk free as i have all requisite information / documents which shall aid the total accomplishment of this fund repatriation into your personal account as the beneficiary to the deceased. Upon the confirmation of your positive response , I shall send to you by fax / mail the commencement step , full information of the bank and that of the deceased for instant inception of this transaction . Your full names,telephone/fax number,mailing address,age and occupation would also be needed asap based on trust on honesty .Please get in touch with me by my email on:
I look forward to your positive response .
Regards,
Mrs Elizabeth Durojaiye
