Dear friend,
My name is Mr Amah Terry.I work with the Orient Bank Of Nigeria Plc.branch
manager,bill and exchange of the foreign remittance department.In the
discharge of my duty,I stumbled on this Domiciliary account that has
ramained dormant for six months now with twenty one million,three hundred
thousand United State dollars ($21.3M) in it.On personal investigation,I
discovered that the account holder (Kerry Morrell) died in the Tsunami
Earthquake in Indonesia with the members of his family who should be the
next of kin to the amount.All I need you to do is to stand as the next of
kin to our Late customer so that this fund can be transferred into your
nominated bank account.
On further investigation,I found out that:-
(A) He has no other living declared relative
(B) He had died intestate (without making a will)
(c) He was into Real Estate Venture (Realtor)
Accordingly,all attempts to trace his next of kin has been fruitless.
I am writing you so that we can work together to remit this amount of money
into your account as the next of kin hence depositor happened to be a
foreigner.
All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be carefully
worked out from my table and I will perfect every documents to be in
accordance with the banking laws and guidlines hence you have nothing to
worry about for I am assuring you a 100% risk free transaction.
It is a simple process which will take a short while to process.Outside
this,the bank Management will confiscate this fund as unclaimed money and
send back to the Deposite Insurance Corporation Account.
On your soonest reply,I will tell you all you need to know about the money
and operational method we can use to effect remittance into your account for
our mutual benefit.Also include your full name,address and phone number.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr Amah Terry..
Orient Bank Nig Plc.
