Union Bank Of Nig. Plc
Union House Marina
Lagos,
Nigeria.
Dear Sir,
I sincerely write to seek your co-operation and trust
to enable my colleagues and I carry out an urgent
business opportunity in my department. I work with the
Union Bank of Nigeria PLC; currently I am the senior
manager of bills and exchange at the foreign
remittance department of my bank. I was the account
officer to one Mr. Ali B. Ashraf who died along with
his family on the 8th of November 1996 in an ADC
Boeing 727 plane crash at Egirin River. All 141
passengers on board were feared dead.
He left in his domiciliary account the total sum of
Thirty One Million United States Dollars [$31million]
. Since the management got the information of his
death we have been expecting any of his relation or
his next of kin to come up and claim his money.
Unfortunately from the day of his death till the time
of this letter none of his relation or friends has
come up for the claim. The banking and financial law
of Union bank of Nigeria Plc stipulates that if such
fund remained unclaimed after a period of six (11) it
will be transferred into the bank treasury as
unclaimed bill. On this discovery sir, I and two other
senior staffs now decided do business with you and
release the money to you as the next of kin to Ali B.
Ashraf for safety and subsequent disbursement. I will
soon proceed for my retirement leave this year, and I
personally do not want this fund to be transferred
into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. That is why
I wanted the fund to be move out of the bank before I
proceed on my retirement from the banking services by
December 15th 2006.
The need for a foreigner as next of kin in this
project is occasioned by the fact that the customer
Mr. Ali Ashraf was a foreigner and a Nigerian cannot
stand as his next of kin or heir. We have agreed that
20% of the Fund would be for you as foreign partner;
thereafter my colleague and I will visit your country
for disbursement according to the percentages
indicated. To enable the immediate transfer of the
fund into your nominated account, you will first apply
to the bank as the next of kin of the deceased,
indicating your bank account number and location
wherein the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of
your acknowledgement indicating your interest, I will
send to you the text of the application that you will
send to the Union Bank authority for an approval to
submit your claims.
Send your reply through my direct and private email
address (emmanuelojo13@myway.com) indicates your direct
Fax and telephone numbers for effective communication
that this transaction needs. Do not reply through the
union bank email address because it belongs to the
senior staffs for public use.
Please note that you are not to appear in person, as
every thing regarding this project will be strictly on
documentations and every banking documents needed for
this transaction will be taken care of by my self.
Looking forward to urgently hearing from you.
Yours Faithfully
Mr.Emmanuel Ojo.
