Dear Friend,
My names are DR KENEDY . C . MATHEW I am the personal assistance to MR JOHN
FRANK , a national of your country, who worked with PETRO BONDS Limited
in Bonny Island, River State as an Engineer and a Consultant in Deep-Sea Oil
Exploration. On October 9, 2000MR JOHN FRANK made a numbered time (Fixed)
Deposit, for twelve calendar months in one of the leading Financial
Institutions here.
Upon Maturity, the bank sent a routine notification to his forwarding
address but got no reply. After a month, they sent a reminder and finally I
told them that On The 4th of May 2002, Niger-Delta Militia youth group
killed MR JOHN FRANK while servicing an Oil well installation in the
Region.
In my findings and investigations, I discovered that he died without making
a WILL and all ttempts to trace his next of kin proved futile. On further
inquisition, it was discovered that Late MR JOHN FRANK did not declare any
next of kin or relations in all his official documents, including his
Bank Deposit paperwork at the Bank. The total sum is US$20m. It is still in
the bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the
end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it.
In accordance with the Federal banking Laws and Constitution, the money
will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies as the next
of Kin to claim the funds.
To this effect, I want to present you since you are a foreigner to stand as
the next of kin to claim this fund so that the proceeds of the account can
be paid to you, All document to effect this process will be procured
legitimately in accordance with the banking Rules and Regulations.
I have agreed that 35% of the money will be for you, 5% for expenses
incurred on the both side while 60% will be for my colleagues and me.
All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
If this interests you, please reply me directly by email and indicate your
full name, your address, Date of Birth, Your contact Telephone and fax
numbers respectively.
Best regards,
DR KENEDY . C . MATHEW
