Dear Friend,
I am Ambrose Kilo, Bank Manager of Global Bank Nigeria. Plc, Lagos Branch.
On October 29 2001, an Oil Consultant/Contractor with the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation, Engr. Barton Miller made a numbered time (fixed)
deposit for twelve Calendar months, valued at USD$25,000,000.00 (twenty-five
million dollars) in my Branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification
to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employers, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that (Engr.
Barton Miller) died with his his entire family of wife and two children from
an automobile accident. On further investigation I found out that he did not
leave a WILL and all attempt to trace his next of kin were fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that (Engr. Barton
Miller) did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents,
including his bank deposit paperwork. This sum of USD$25,000,000.00 is still
sitting in the Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal
sum at the end of each year, No one will come forward to claim it.
According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money
will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to
claim the funds.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a
foreigner to stand in as the next of kin of (Engr. Barton Miller) so that
the fruit of this old man labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt
government officials.
This is simple;
1) I will like you to provide me immediately with your full names, address,
telephone/fax number,Bank Account #,and Bank Address so that the attorney
will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits, which will put you in
place as the next of kin.
2) We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization
of the WILL and obtain the necessary documents and letter of
robate/administration in your favor for the transfer.
3) A bank account in any part of the world, which you
provide, will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the
beneficiary/next of kin of (Engr. Barton Miller) The money will be paid into
your account for us to share in the ratio of 55% for me and 40% for you. 5%
is to re-imburse any incidental expenses we might have incured during the
cause of actualising this transaction.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this
transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch
Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are
interested, please reply immediately .
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more
details and relevant documents that will help you
understand. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that
this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall
require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply me through the above emaill
address, or my alternative email address: ambrosekilo@k.ro and please save
me the anxiety of endless waiting.
My Cell Phone Number is: 234-803-335-5723.
God bless you.
Mr Ambrose Kilo.
Global Bank Nigeria. Plc,
Lagos. Nigeria.
