Subject: EMAIL DIRECTION(PROPOSAL)URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED
THE DESK OF:Dr BEN BRUCE
UNION BANK PLC
Abuja Nigeria,
WEST AFRICA.
(PRIVATE/CONFIDENTIAL)
I am Dr BEN BRUCE(S.A.N). the Director in charge of Auditing section in
UNION BANK PLC (.UBA)LAGOS NIGERIA in West Africa. Forgive my indignation if
this message comes to you as a surprise.
AS IT MAY INTEREST YOU TO KNOW, I GOT YOUR IMPRESSIVE INFORMATION THROUGH
THE INTERNET SEARCH IN OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO.
I have decided to contact you on a project that will be very
beneficial to both of us. During our auditing in this Bank,I came
across some amount of money belonging to a deceased, who is the Nigerian
First lady and the wife of the Nigerian President, Mrs Stella Obasanjo who
died on october 2005 in a theatre during surgery.
The fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without
any claim of the fund in our custody from his relation before my discovery
to this development. No body knows about this fund, except me.
The said amount is U.S $7,300,000(SEVEN MILLION , THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND
UNITED STATE OF AMERICA DOLLAR). I want you to know that I never master
minded the death of the deceased fellow. Her death was occured Naturally.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION BEEN YOU NOT A NIGERIAN WILL NOT POSE ANY PROBLEM FOR
THE SUCESSFUL TRANSFER ON THIS FUND INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.
All the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as a contractor to be
put in place , and i will arrange the fund to be paid to you as an overdue
contract payment and directives will be relayed to you as soon as you
indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and also benefit your
self to this great business opportunity.
In this country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not
allowed to operate a foreign account and the President Mr OLUSHEGUN OBASANJO
suspected me of having an affair with the wife but that is a private issue.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who
will forward Documents as a contractor and i will send you a contract code
to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money
to
be re-transferred into on your request.
Our Banking law stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after eight
years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed
fund.
The request of foreigner as a contractor in this business is
occasioned by the fact that the contractor was a foreigner and an AFRICAN
cannot stand as the foreigner to prevent SCANDAL. I don't want this money to
go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill. Be assured this transaction is
100% risk free. On conclusion of this Project, you will be entitled to 35%
of the total sum as gratification, 15% will be for any expensis that must
have occured during this transaction ,while 50% will be for me.
Please you have been adviced to keep "top secret" as I am still
in service , secondly the husband of the deceased is still the President of
federal republic of Nigeria and also the Grand Commander Federal republic
and intend to retire from service after I conclude this deal
with you.
I will fly down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according
to percentages previously indicated and further investment will be
discussed. On your acceptance to be my partner, please email your mobile,and
fax number for a brief discussion before we proceed at
correspondent01@hotmail.com or call me at 234-803-2272485
Please keep this proposal secret, even if you dont want to assist me.
I look forward to receive your urgent reply.
Yours faithfully,
Dr BEN BRUCE.
