Subject: Urgent Call From Late Gabriel.
Desk:Mr.Olamide Wright
Standard Trust Bank Plc.
Lagos.West Africa.
Dear Friend,
My name is Mr.Olamide Wright i am the chief accountant of the lagos/
Apapa bank branch of The Standard Trust Bank Plc.Hope this
messege reach you in good health.
I was the personal accountant to the Late Mr. Gabriel
who used to work with shell development corporation a national of your
country.
My client and his family died in a ghastly motor accident on
30th Jan 2001, my client, his wife and their two children were
involved in a motor accident when returning from a vacation
from the Ivory coast along other occupant who also lost their lives
Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to
locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful.
I contacted you since i needed someone that will assist me in
repartrating this fund into an account since the bank has given
an ultimatum of three weeks for me to get the relative and
from a right source i have been made to understand that some
top government official are trying to Divert the fund for
there own selfish interest.
Hence i have decided to contact you as a foreigner so we can
both carry out this transaction together and help me secure this fund
instead of allowing the Government to confiscate it as an
UNCLAIMED FUND and rendered unservicable because his
account is worth 14.5Million Dollars in cash,bond and asset.
All i require is a safe account to deposite this fund into to
avoid tampering by any intruder and you will be highly
compensated by percentage to reward your assistance.
Will await your response to be able to give you further
details on the necessary processes we will be taking
due to the fact that every step we will take has to be done legally as
i was his personal account officer before his death and i have
all legal tender for claim including his deposite certificate.
God bless you.
You will be entitled to a percentage when this fund
reach your account and a certain percentage will be deducted
for all expences incured.
You can contact me on my private box if need
be mail:olawright01@yahoo.it
Best Regards,
Mr.Olamide Wright
(Acct.Officer.)
