Dear Sir/Ma,
I hope this will not meet you as a surprise, as I know that I have not heard any previous corresponding with you, but have taken interest in you, as a result of my choice of investment. My name is Charles O Iyayi Deputy General Manager in charge of Lagos and Western Operations, Allstates Trust Bank Limited. This is an urgent and very confidential business proposition. I am seeking your assistance here to enable me transfer and invest the sum of $18M in LANDED PROPERTIES there in your country. The source of these funds is as follows:
On June 6, 2001,a Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Mr. Steve Warren, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$18,000,000.00, (Eighteen Million Dollars) in mybranch.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Nigerian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, that Mr. Steve Warren died from an automobile accident.
On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Steve- Warren did not declare any next of kin or relations in his entire official documents, including his Bank Deposit documents in my Bank. This sum of US$18,000,000.00 has carefully been fixed in my bank for safekeeping. No one will ever come forward to claim it.According to the Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that, since Mr. Steve Warren is a
Foreigner, I will like you as a Foreigner to stand in as the owner of the money, which was fixed deposited in my bank. I am writing you because I as a public servant, I cannot operate a foreign account, and more so, my choice of investment, is one of the reasons why I would want you to assist me, as I will need your assistance to invest these in the Real Estate business, to which any PROFIT RETURN will be shared under an agreed percentage between the both of us, outside the normal percentage to be agreed on for your assistance.
I want to present you as the owner of the funds so you can be able to claim them. This is simple. I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address, as well as your phone and fax numbers, so that all the necessary document can be prepared , which will put you in place as the beneficiary of the
funds.
The money will be moved out for us to share in the ratio of 80% for me and 20% for you. The paperwork for this transaction will be done in accordance to the law of the land and this guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email address at: ciyayi@farsinetwork.com, and upon your response, I shall provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe 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 my share in Real Estate within your country. This is the major reason why I have contacted you.Due to the nature and confidentiality in this Transaction, it should be accorded all the necessary confidentiality required, as my job will be at stake in the event of any eventuality.
I will pause for now, as I await your urgent response
Regards.
Charles O Iyayi
