Good day and a happy and prosperous new year !
I am Kolapo Omidire, company secretary and manager, internal and external services of COMMERCIAL BANK OF AFRICA. I am writing in
respect of a foreign customer of my bank who perished with his entire family (His wife and only son) in a plane crash (Korean Air Line 801) on August 6, 1997.
Since the demise of this customer of ours , the bank management of COMMERCIAL BANK OF AFRICA has made valuable efforts to get in touch with any of the late customer's Next-of-Kin or relative anywhere in the world but unfortunately, all our efforts did not yield any positive results as no one has come to claim his funds to the tune of Twenty one million, five hundred thousand
united states dollars(USD21.5m) which has been with my bank all these while.
Recently, the Federal Government of Nigeria directed that all funds not claimed (which has exceeded the stipulated banking period of seven years for such money) should be confiscated to the Federal Government Treasury because the banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than seven years.This means that this money will be recalled to the federal Government
treasury as unclaimed after this period, precisely within this first quater of this year.
On this note, the chairman of the board of directors of the bank recently called me and told me in confidence and trust to source for a reliable foreigner who would stand as our foreign customer's next of kin. We (myself and the chairman) have reasoned that if we fail to collect this money the
Nigerian government will confisticate it and someone else will end up looting it. Thats's why we have decided to contact you, hoping you will prove to be a reliable foreigner to stand as next of Kin to the deceased customer to claim the total fund from his account with the bank so that the
proceeds of his account can be paid to you.
Be assured that this transaction is risk free and we will do all possible to give it the legal and legitimate backing it requirs so that both parties will be protected from breach of the law both locally and internationally.
Upon receipt of your response, I shall furnish you with the next step to take on how you shall prosecute this claim to your account. The entire transaction should be completed within 10 official
working days from the day the bank receives your initial application.
When you receive this letter, Kindly send me an e-mail signifying Your acceptance or otherwise, include your private Telephone numbers for more explanation and confidential communication.
Waiting to hear from you soon,
Best Regards,
K. Omidire. PLEASE REPLY TO kola_omidire3@myself.com
