Dear Sir,
My name is Dr.John paul,the Manager Credit and Foreign Bills of
Ecobank Of Nigeria Plc.I am writting in respect of a foreign customer
of my bank with account number 14-255-2004/utb/t.Who died in a lane
crash[ETHIOPIAN AIRLINE FLIGHT 961] with other passengers aboaed.
Sir, since the death of this customer i personally have 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 usd15.5m,{fifteen million five
hundred thousand united states dollars only} has been with my bank 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 four
years,becuase after four years the account will be declared dormant
and the money will be forfeted to the bank,in view of this,i decidedto
contract you to act as the Next of Kin.
The request of a foreigner as the Next of Kin in this business is
occasionid by the fact that the customer was a foreigner. i agreed
that 30% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner in respect
of provding an account,while the rest will be for me.
Thereafter i will vist your country for disbursement,therefore to
facilitate the immediate transfer of this fund to your account as
arranged,you must apply first to the bank as a relation to the
deceased indicating your bank name,your bank account number,your
private telephone number and fax number for easy communication and
location where the money will be remitted.
Upon the receipt of your reply,i will send you by fax or email the
application and the next step to take.i will not fall to bring to your
notice that this business is 100% HITCH FREE and that you should not
entertain any fear as the whole required arrangement has been made for
the transfer.You should contact meimmediatel through my
email:john190paul@yahoo.com.hk as soon as you receive this
letter.trusting to hear from you.
Yours Faithfully
Dr.John paul.
General Manager.
