DEAR SIR,
I am Dr. Tony Elumelu, the Managing Director to the Standard Trust Bank Nig
Plc. I got your contact email address through the Web Search for a REAL AND
CONFIDENTIAL business negotiation. So I will be please to use this chance to
introduce to you a business transaction(deal). You are to relax your mind,
because this is REAL.
Being the Director in the bank(STANDARD TRUST BANK) i have discover a very
good deal transaction which both of us will benefit from, provided i am
concerned. As its stands, there is a foreign client(customer) in person of
MR. MICHAEL SLOAN, also a very good business man who has a very huge sum of
amount($500.000 Million) in the bank(STANDARD TRUST BANK) before his
suprise death. It was a pity and sorrowfull that Mr,Sloan, the wife and
their only son died sorrowfully, which is, they were among the victims of
the TERRORIST BOMB BLAST TRAGEDY, that occured recently in United States of
America(USA) during his visit for a business negotiation in America.
As the Managing Director in the bank also a very good family friend to MR,
SLOAN, i have been able to try all my possible best to see(locate) if i can
get or know any of this man (MR, SLOAN) family member or relation, so that i
can get them informed of the latest development as regards to the huge sum
of amount which belongs to MR, SLOAN in the Standard Trust Bank. To your
best knowledge this sum($500.000 Million) is floating in the Standard Trust
Bank with account number stb/277/nb01 and i will not want it to finally
taken by the management of the Standard Trust Bank. But to my greatest
suprise, it happens that MR, SLOAN, did not have anybody or other person
left behind to stand as his NEXT OF KIN to this money ($500.000 Million).
Now, since this man has no any other person left behind for the claim of
this very huge sum of money, as the NEXT OF KIN, i will want to liaise with
you as a foreign partner in respect of this money, so that this huge sum
($500.000 Million) could be paid (Remitted) to you into your private bank
account as the NEXT OF KIN to this our very good customer/ client (MR,
SLOAN).
For your information all the necessary arrangement has been put in place to
ensure 100% success, while all the important document that covers this money
are also at my hand reach, as I have told you initially that i am a family
friend to this very man (MR, SLOAN). In NUT-SHELL I will want you to stand
as the next of kin to Mr, Sloan, so that we can get this money out from the
Standard Trust Bank Nig Plc, into your private bank account for safe-keeping
pending my arrival for sharing in your country. It is very important you
indicate your willingness, so that I can send across to you all the
necessary TEXT FORM document from the bank also talk on the issue of the
sharing modalities as I have planned. Please this deal is of REAL, SECRECY
and 100% risk-free. Bear in mind that we are concluding this deal between 28
working days which is from the day of your positive response is being
received.
You are also required to send across your private telephone and fax number
for easy communication and oral discussion, so as to avoid any delay. I come
again, you are to stand as the next of kin(Relation) to this very man (MR,
SLOAN) for the claim of this huge amount ($500.000 million ). Finally, 25%
for your assistance, 50% for me, 5% for the re-settlement of any expenses
incured from both side while 20% will be invested in the name of your
company and care.
Congratulations to you and your entire family. Please for your information
you are adviced to reply with the above given email address.
Yours sincerely.
Dr. Tony Elumelu.
(MANAGING DIRECTOR/CEO). Standard Trust Bank Nig Plc.
