FROM THE DESK OF:
DR PRINCEWILL DIKIBO
princewilldikibo11@katamail.com
(CHIEF ACCOUNTANT)
UNION BANK OF NIGERIA PLC.
ATTN,
I want you to give immediate attention to this proposal.I am Dr Princewill
Dikibo, Chief Accounts Manager of UNION BANK Of NIGERIA,Lagos Branch.
Irrespective of how strange this mail might look to you I want you to know
that it is TRUE and REAL.Therefore I demand your utmost co-operation for
us to utilise this golden opportunity.
On SUNDAY, February 2, 2003, a bomb blast Explosion occured on the Lagos
Island, right inside my bank; so far a total Lost of about 55 million us
dollars has been recorded, this includes both Cash and property of the
bank.
Please View the Link below:
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/02/03/lagos.explosion/index.html
However as the Accounts Manager of the BANK,I discovered that Most of our
Data on accounts have been lost as well, as there has not been any back
up or network trace even from the HEADQUARTERS; therefore all losses had
been attributed to the Explosion. The Lagos State Government took charges
to pay for all losses.
It now happened that I still have Data of foreign Customers who are on contract
in Nigeria and who own accounts with the Branch,particularly that of an
American Oil contractor Mr Philip Morris, who was reported Dead in a motor
accident on the 15 of September 2002, whose contract payments has been Made
and would be transferred to his foreign accounts, upon our confirmation
of his foreign designated account as well as a beneficiary to his funds
and payments.Mr Philip Morris, while our customer never left a trace of
his next of kin, and His contract payment which is $36 million US dollars,
would be made to no one as we( the bank) have none of his Data/next of kin's
contact.
My proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next
of kin to Mr Philip Morris so that the fruits of this old man's labour will
not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials, Besides the
Bank which I work in has been blown up,and is now presently under reconstruction,
I have no Job for now,I have to make a living and I alone know the information
so far about this.
As you rightly know that this an International legal procedure for INHERITANCE.
A bank Account In any part of the world which you will provide will then
facilitate The Transfer
of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. Including Your Private
telephone And fax numbers, with your contact address. The money will be
paid into your Account as payment for his Contract.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details. Please
Observe Utmost confidentiality and rest assured that this transaction
would be most profitable for both of us.
Awaiting your response.
Dr Princewill Dikibo
