FOREIGN ACCOUNT DEPARTMENT
DEVELOPMENT BANK AFRICAN NIGERIA
Dear Friend,
Before I start by introducing myself, I am aware that this is Certainly an unconventional approach to establishing a relationship, but you will realize the reason for my action after going through this email. My Name is Mr.John Kokori, I work with AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK PLC (ADB), in the foreign accounts department. I was the personal account manager to one of our late foreign customer, Mr. Jim Anderson who was until his death an employee with Chevron Oil Exploration Company in Nigeria.
On the 21st of April 1999, the deceased, his wife and their three Children were involved in a car accident along Sagbama express-road.All occupants of the vehicle nfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made Several enquiries to his country's embassy so as to locate any of his extended relatives, this has proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you. I have contacted you so as to assist in repatriating the money and possibly the property left behind by the deceased before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank here where the huge deposits were lodged. The Constitutional provision of the Federal Republic of Nigeria further mandates the deceased account manager or attorney to repatriate the fund if original country of deceased is established.
Particularly,AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK PLC(ADB), where the deceased had an
account valued about ten million dollars has issued a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next 14 official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years now, hence I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you are from the same country,So that the proceeds of this account valued at about $10,000,000.00 dollars can be paid in your name and remittance be effected to your given account. After receipt of the funds, you can disburse as follows upon my arrival in your Country: -
1. 40% to you.
2. 60% to Me
Every document needed for the approval and release of the funds for payment so that remittance can be effected to the account that will be given to me by you in your response back to me, will be legally secured. With your honest cooperation, every document will be secured through the assistance of an attorney in accordance with the banking law and guidelines in your name as the next of kin to the deceased.
You accepting my proposal in standing as the next of kin to claim this funds,please indicate by replying this letter and also give me your DIRECT PRIVATE TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS FOR EASY AND CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY.
I await your immediate reply to enable us start this transaction.
Yours faithfully,
