From The Desk Of Dr.Frank Hank
Auditing And Accounting Unit.
Union Bank of Nigeria Plc.
Lagos, Nigeria.
GOOD DAY SIR/MA
Compliment of the day and how is life general with you? Of course it is
my humble wish to solicit and crave your indulgence to make this project
request for a joint business transaction which I hope will not come to you
as a surprise, hence I plead foryour pardon.
I am Dr.Frank Hank ,the Auditing and Accounting Unit,Foreign
Operations Department Union Bank Of Nig,PLC. I have an urgent and
confidential business proposal for you.On June 6,Mr.Steve Moore made a numbered
time (fixed) deposit for twelve calender month valued at US$15.500.000.00(Fiften
Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) in my branch. On maturity, I sent
a routine notification to his forwarded address but got no reply after months
we send a reminder and finally we discovered
from his contract employee (Nigeria national petroleum Corporation) that
Late Engr.Steve Moore died from an automobile accident. On further investigation,
it was clear that he died without making a will. All attempts by the Australian
to trace his next of kin were fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Late
Engr. Steve Moore did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his
official documents including his deposit document in my bank. The total
sum of US$15,500,000.00 is still in my bank as dormant acct. No one will
ever come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian banking law, after
five years,the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government.
If the account owner is certified death and nobody comes forward to claim
it.
This is the situation , and my proposal is that I am looking for a foreigner
who will stand in as the beneficiary/next of kin. This is simple. All you
have to do is to immediately send me the details of a bank account anywhere
in the world for me to arrange the proper money transfer document. The money
will then be transferred into the account for us to share in the ration
of 60% for me 30% for you while the remaining 10% will be set aside for
expenses incurred within here and there.There is no risk involved. I am
using my position and connection in the bank here
to do all the document work for the transaction. We shall employ the services
of an attorney to draft the will and obtain all necessary documents and
letter of administration in your favour for the transfer. This transaction
is risk free guaranteed. If you are interested, please reply immediately
confidentiality and be rest assured that this transaction could be most
profitable for both of us.
Please do not expose this deal if you are not interested because if you
do, it will take me out of seat.
I am awaiting your urgent reply,YOU CAN EQUALY REACH ME ON

Best regards,
Dr.Frank Hank
