Subject: CAN YOU WORK WITH ME IN THIS?
Regent Bank Nig plc
The Manager Credit and Foriegn Bills
Victoris Island
Lagos-Nigeria.
Attention: Sir/Madam,
My name is Mr Emma Dave,the Manager,Credit and Foreign bills of Regent Bank
Plc. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of our bank with account
number 14-255-114 whose name is Late Mr. Larry Baldridge Jr, an american
businessman who perished in a plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261
which crashed on January 31 2000, including his wife and only daughter.
You shall read more about the crash on visiting this site which I got during
my investigation;
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ and Since the demise
of this our customer, I personally has watched with keen interest to see the
next of kin but all has proved abortive as no
one has come to claim his funds of US$15.5M (Fiftheen Million Five Hundred
Thoudsand United States Dollars) which has been with our branch for a very
long time.
On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the Next
of Kin as no one has come up to be the next of kin. And the banking ethics
here does not allow such money to stay
more than Ten Years, because the money will be recalled to the bank treasury
as unclaimed fund after this period.
In view of this I got your contact through a trade journal when i was making
a research on a foreigner i will use in this great upportunity.
For your assistant i will give you 30% of the total amount then 10% has been
maped out to donate to the motherless baby home, while the remaining 60%
will be for me and my partner. Upon the receipt of your response, I will
send you by fax or e-mail the letter of application which you will type sign
and send back to our bank to enable us start this transaction.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch free and
that you should not
entertain any fear as all modalities for the smooth and easy transfer of
this fund has been finalized, this transaction will be complited within five
banking days of recieving your response, after you apply to the bank as a
relation to the deceased. When you receive this letter.
Kindly send me an e-mail signifying your decision including your private
Tel/Fax numbers for quick communication on my personal email.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr Emma Dave
Manager Credit and Foriegn Bills.
Regent Bank Nig Plc.
