DEAR :
I am CHIEF JAMES C.NNAMAI the Auditor General of UNION
BANK NIGERIA PLC.
We want to transfer to overseas ($19,000.000.00 USD Ninetteen
million United States Dollars) from UNION BANK NIGERIA PLC.
I want to ask you to quietly look for a reliable and honest person who
will be capable and fit to provide either an existing bank account or
to set up a new Bank a/c immediately to receive this money, even an
empty a/c can serve
to receive this money.
During the course of our auditing I discovered a floating fund in
an account opened in
the bank in 1991 and since 1999 nobody has operated on this account again,
after going through some old files in the records I
discovered that the
owner of the account died without a [heir] hence the
money is floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be
forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account is Mr. RON BROWN, a
foreigner,an industrialist, and he died, since 1996. and no
other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it,
the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as
well that RON BROWN until his death was the manager Diamond Safari
Nigeria plc.
Now let me explain comprehensively what this transaction needs.
We need to be honest till the end of this important business.
We will start the first transfer with 8.5 million
[$8.5,000.000]
upon successful transaction without any disappointment
from your side,we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining
amount to your account.However, we will sign a binding agreement, to bind us
together.
Send your private telephone and fax number including the full
details of the account to be used for the deposit.
You know this money can not be approved to a local
person here, without valid international foreign passport, but can only be
approved to any foreigner
with valid international passport or drivers license
and foreign a/c because
the money is in us dollars and the former owner of the
a/c Mr. RON BROWN was a foreigner too, [and the money can only be approved
into a foreign a/c.
please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to take urgently.
The management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who
has correct information
of this account, which I will give to you,upon your
positive response as i will be convinced that you are capable.
I have met with a key bank official who is deeply involved with me in
this business. I need your strong assurance that you will never, never let
me down.
With my influence and the position of the bank
official we shall transfer this
money to any foreigner's reliable account as soon as
possible.
I will use my position and influence to obtain all legal approvals
for onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance
from the relevant ministries and foreign exchange departments.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given30% of the total
amount, 65% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might
have incurred during the process of transferring.
The bank official will destroy
all documents of transaction immediately we receive this money leaving
no trace to any place.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my
private email address jamesnnamai22@yahoo.com
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks & Regards
Dr James.
