Dear Sir,
STRICTLY A PRIVATE BUSINESS PROPOSAL
With due respect, I forward this proposal to you. I am Ola Peters, Manager
Bills and Exchange at the Foreign Remittance Department of African
Development Bank of Nigeria (A.D.B). I am writing this letter asking for
your support and co-operation to carry out this business opportunity for our
mutual interest. In my department, an abandoned sum of US$15,000,000.00
(Fifteen Million United States Dollars Only) has be discovered in a dormant
account belonging to one of our foreign customers who died with his wife and
their only son in a plane crash in November 2004. Since we heard of his
death, we have been expecting his next-of-kin to come over and put up claims
for his money as the heir to his estate, because we cannot release the fund
from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the
deceased as is stipulated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately, neither their family members nor distant relatives have ever
appeared to claim the said fund. Upon this discovery, I and other officials
in my department have agreed to make business with you and release the total
amount into your account since no one has come for it or discovered the un
maintained account with our bank, otherwise the fund will be returned to the
banks treasury as unclaimed fund. We have agreed that our ratio of sharing
will be as stated thus: 20% for you as foreign partner, 75% for us the
officials in my department and 5% for the settlement of all local and
foreign expenses incurred by us and you during the course of this business.
Upon the successful completion of this transfer, I and one of my colleagues
will come to your country and take care of our share. It is from our 75% we
intend to import Agricultural Machineries into my country as a way of
recycling the fund.
To commence this transaction, we require you to immediately indicate your
interest by a return e-mail and enclose your private contact telephone/ fax
numbers, full name and address and your designated bank coordinates to
enable us file letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary
approvals before the transfer can be made. Note also, this transaction must
be kept STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL because of its nature.
I look forward to receiving your prompt response via my direct private email
address: olapetes101@yahoomail.com
Yours sincerely,
Ola Peters
African Development Bank of Nigeria (A.D.B).
