Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Steven Green. an Auditor of a INTERNATIONAL BANK OF TRADE
PLC,ABUJA(FCT). I have the courage to Crave indulgence for this important
business believing that you will never let me down either now or in the
future. Some
years ago, an American Mining consultant/ contractor with the Nigeria
National Petroleum Corporation,
made a numbered time (fixed)deposit for twelve calendar months, valued
$12M.USD (TWELVE MILLION US DOLLARS) in an account. On maturity,The bank
sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month, The bank sent another reminder and finally his contract
employers, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation wrote to inform the
bank that he died without MAKING A WILL, and all attempts by the American
Embassy to
trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore, made further investigation
and discovered that the beneficiary was an immigrant from Jamaica and only
recently obtained American citizenship. He did not declare any kin or
relations in all his official documents, including his Bank deposit paper
work. This money total amount$12M.USD ( TWELVE MILLION US DOLLARS)is still
sitting in my bank as dormant Account. No one will ever come forward to
claim it, and according to Nigerian Banking policy, after some years, the
money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if the account
owner is certified dead.
This is the situation, and my proposal is that I am looking for a foreigner
who will stand in as the next of kin to beneficiary, and OPEN a Bank Account
abroad to facilitate the transfer of this money. This is simple, all you
have to do is to OPEN an account anywhere in the world and send me its
detail for me to arrange the proper money transfer paperwork, and facilitate
the transfer.The money will then be paid into this Account for us to share
in the ratio of 60% for me, 35 % for you and 5% for expenses that might come
up during transfer process. There is no risk at all, and all the paper work
for this transaction will be done by me using my position and connections in
the banks in Nigeria. This business transaction is guaranteed.And the first
phase of the transfer will be ($4M.USD)FOUR MILLION DOLLARS as advised by
our insider in the bank.If you are interested, please reply immediately
through my personal email sending the following details:
(1) Your Full Name/Address
(2) Your Private Telephone/fax Number.
Please observe the 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 some of my share in your country. I look forward
to your earliest reply.
Yours,
Mr.Steven Green.
