RIMS MERCHANT BANK LAGOS NIGERIA.
DEAR SIR,
I am MS ROSE OBI ,THE DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION OF Rims merchant Bank
plc,Lagos Nigeria,with due respect and regards.I have
decided to contact you on a business transaction that will
be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the
transaction.
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my
department came across a very huge sum of money
belonging to a deceased person who died on november
1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his
account with this bank without any claim of the fund in our
custody either from his family or relation before our
discovery to this development.
Although personally, i kept this information
secretwithin myself and partners to enable the whole
plans and idea be profitable and successful. during
the time of excution. The said amount was
US$25.5M(TWENTY FIVE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS].
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over
this fund with you as the bonafide next of kin to the
deceased,and secure rquired approval and transfer this
money to a foreign account has been put in place and
directives and needed information will be relayed to you as
soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to
assist us and also benefit your self with this great
business oppourtunity.
In fact i could have done this deal alone but because of
my position in this country as a civil servant, we are not
allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually
raised an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer
because i work in this bank. This is the actual reason
while it will require a second party or fellow who will
forward claim as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of
oat to the bank and also present a foreign account where he
will need the money to be re-transafered in! to on his
request as it may
be after due verification and clarification by the
correspondent branch of the bank, where the whole
money will be remitted from to your own designation
bank account. I will not fail to inform you that this
transaction iS 100% risk free.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be
entitled to 30% of the of the total sum as
gratification,while 70% will be for me and my
partners.
Please, you have been advised to keep top secret as we
are still in service and intend to retire from service
after we conclude this deal with you .
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank
until you confirm the money in your account and ask us to
come down in your country for subsequent sharing of the
fund according to percentage previously indicated and
further investment, either in your country or any country
you advise us to invest in .
All other necessary information will be sent to you
when i hear from you. I suggest you get back to me as soon
as possible stating your wish on this deal.
sincerely yours,
Ms ROSE OBI
