Sir,
I am MR FABUNSON MADU a Banker in one of the leading
Commercial Banks here in Nigeria.I contacted you based
on a mutual business transaction that I would want us
to handle in confidence and hope you can understand
the need for us to do this and for you to STAND IN for
it.
One MR PHILLIP ALLEN and his wife. died in a
ghastly motor accident while on a business trip on the
24th of August 2002.
The said couple had no children and was about 63years
old before their death. He never identified with
anybody as his relative and investigation made could
not trace any relative to the late couple.Before his
death, he has the sum of $11,545,652.oo usd made from
contracts he executed with Oil Companies here in
Nigeria and the proceeds are with our Commercial Bank
.
Few weeks ago, the Bank tried requesting that the next
of KIN to the deceased should come up to claim his
fund deposited with our Bank.I am the Manager in
charge of unclaimed funds hence my contacting you to
stand in as the next of Kin. After much effort has
been made ,I decided to contact you as to have you
stand in as the next of KIN to claim the fund so that
the bank will not declare the account dormant , freeze
or confiscate the amount as they stated in the letter
sent to my Department.
If you can stand in,I assure you that this is risk
free as I will advise you on what to do to have this
fund moved to your account and we can agree on terms
of sharing. All you have to do is to consent to this
by giving me the go ahead to have you presented to the
Bank as the next of kin through a lawyer.I will tell
you how to get a lawyer but it has to be confidential
who will apply and present you as the next of KIN.
AS soon as we make application, obtain the necessary
approval, the money will be paid through here or any
of the banks payment centre Overseas.This will take
us about 10 working days to conclude depending on how
you respond to our correspondence If you are willing
to stand in as the next of Kin ,send to me your full
names ,telephone numbers for us to discuss and to
brief you on the procedure that has to be taken to
have this transaction concluded within a short period
of time.
Note that we will have to reach an agreement on the
shearing of the fundas you have to agree to give me my
own share as soon as you receive themoney to your
account. You can contact me through my private email.
I look forward to hearing from you.
MR FABUNSON MADU
