Dear Sir,
I wish this will not come to you as a surprise!!
I am DR. MICHEAL.OTTAH a Director with STANDARD TRUST BANK Ltd, in Lagos.
I am writing for your support to effect AN ABANDON SUM OF USD$14.850M (FOURTEEN MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY UNITED STATES DOLLARS) that was deposited by one of our Foreign Customer who died with his entire family. He was one of the victims of Egypt Air BOEING 767 Flight No. 990 that crashed on the 31st Oct 1999 in United States of America.
Since this incident, we have not heard/seeing anybody coming for the claims as the next of kin. We have also advertised his death and requested for the next of kin or any close relation to come forward for the claim, but nobody come to apply for the claim. I have monitored this situation closely with my position in our bank and managed this deposit over the years before his death and I have removed the file to my private vault.
To this effect, I and my colleagues in the bank have decided to look for a trusted Foreign Partner who can stand in as the next of kin to the deceased and clim this money because of the fact that the customer was a Foreigner and we don't want this money to go into the bank Treasury as unclaimed fund. Every document to affect this process will emanate from my table and I will perfect every document in accordance with the banking law and prudential guidelines, so you have nothing to worry about.
We have agreed that 20% of the total money will be for you, 10% for the Auxillary Expenses that might be insured on both sides during the transaction, while 70% will be for us in the bank.
If you are interested to assist us realize this aiming goal, please do let me know immediately.
In order to avoid raising eyesbrow from any department, we have perfect arrangement to use our U.S.A or EURO Regional correspondence finance office to lodge the money cash in your name and forward the cash lodgment documents and slip to you for clearance. On your acceptance of this deal, I will forward to you the text of Application for claim which you have to sign and send back to me for onward approvals.
NOTE, that when you confirmed the receipt of this fund in your account you will immediately send to us an authentic letter of Invitation to enable us get VISA entry to your country through your embassy in Nigeria so as to meet with you in your country for the sharing of our fund according to agreed ratio.
Be well informed that we have done our home work perfectly and very well for a successful implementation of this deal to its logical conclusion with our position and connection in the STANDARD TRUST BANK, we are quite optimistic as this does not have any risk attached to it as all the internal documentation will be handled by me.
Thanks for your understanding.
Regards,
DR.MICHEAL OTTAH.
