Subject: GOOD DAY
Dear Sir/Madam
I am Mr. Paul John, the personal accounting officer to Mr Gregory Adams,a
national of your country, who used to work with the Nigerian Petroleum Trust
Fund,(PTF),as an expartriate staff,here in Nigeria. He was our valued Customer.
On the 4th May 2002, my client, his wife And their only child were involved
in the plane crash here in Nigeria with EAS Airlines (Executive Airline
Services) flight,EAS 4226,Registration: 5N-ESF,with our then sports minister
Mr Mark Ishaya Aku. Since then I have made several attempts to locate any
of his extended relatives but this has also proved unsuccessful.After these
several unsuccessful attempts to locate any member of his family, I decided
to contact you on this subject matter so that I can authenticate you as
the bonafide next of kin to the said account. NOTE: Your business status
does not matter in this transaction,What matters is your ability to assist
in repartrating the fund left behind by my client before they get confisicated
or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly,the Horse Bank Plc where the deceased had a deposit whose total
value including accrued interest is about US$12.5Million (Twelve Million
Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars Only).As his accounting officer,I have
been mandated to provide the next of kin or have the account confisicated
within fews weeks.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for some months
now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
as if it is an inheritance left behind by him for you as his next of kin
since both of you are from the same country so that the proceeds of this
account valued at US$12.5Million(Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand US
Dollars Only) will be paid to you as an inheritance, and then you and I
will share the fund after you receive it in your account. I have in my possession,the
Deposit Certificate of the deposit,which shall serve as one of the legal
documents that can be used to back-up the transaction.
If you can handle this transaction for our joint benefit, please get back
to me on the phone number above so that I can give you more details on this
matter, as what is required now is to register/authenticate you as the bonafide
next of kin to the account where the fund is deposited.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law.
We will discuss the sharing ratio when we talk.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best Regards.
Mr. Paul John
