Subject: SEEKING FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION
Hello Sir/Madam ,
I am { BRATHWAIT JONES } , accountant for foreign
bill of
exchange operation department of the STANDARD
TRUST BANK
plc here in Nigeria . I am writing following the
impressive
information about you through an internet
geneological
research .
In my department , we discovered a long term
deposited fund
of { $16, 000 000 m } Sixteen million united
states dollars
in an account which belong to a foriegn customer
who died
along side with his nuclear family in a car
accident in
April 21st 1999 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 21st 1999 .
The banking law and guideline act 00.02 of the
foreign
beneficiary fund release stipulates that such fund
remain
uncliamed after the existing period of seven 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 { $16
, 000
000 m } 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 .
Note : This transaction is 100% risk free as i
have all
requisite information 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 .
State your interest by corresponding back with
your
informations which shall be needed for the
documentation of
your file which will prove you to the bank as the
legal
beneficiary to the deceased , the needed
informations are
as follows :
Your full name :
Full contact / postal address :
Contact phone / Fax number :
Occupation :
Age :
The uplisted informations are requisite for the
instant
commencement of this transaction and feel free to
contact
me via my private cell phone number {
234-1-720-2599 } for
effective communication and further explanation of
this
transaction .
I look forward to your positive response .
Regards .
