Head Credit Control
NATIONAL INVESTMENT BANK PLC.
Dear Friend,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this
transaction. This is by virtue of its nature being
utterly confidential and top secret.
We have decided to contact you due to the urgency
of this transaction, as we have been spiritualy informed
of your discretness, trustworthy and ability to carry
out legitimate business.
THE PROPOSITION :
A foreigner and American, Late Engr.
Johnson C. Russell, Crude Oil merchant with the
Government of Ghana, until his death on
30th January, 2000 in Kenya Air Bus (A310-300) Flight
KQ430, banked with us at NATIONAL INVESTMENT BANK PLC
and had a closing balance of US$54,000,000.00 (Fifty Four Milion United
States Dollars
Only) as at the end of September, 2000.
Valuable efforts are being made by the NATIONAL INVESTMENT BANK PLC to
get in touch with any of the Late Engr. Johnson's family or relative, but
to no avail. The only Next of Kin address that was given to the Bank Management
by Late Engr. Johnson C. Russell was at Sierra Loene, in the person of
Mrs. Caroline Smith. However, the said address was destroyed during the
last Rebel crisis in Sierra Leone and the woman was reportedly killed together
with other United Nations Officials.
It is because of the perceived impossibility of
locating a relative of the Late Engr. Johnson C. Russell (he had
neither a wife nor children) that the NATIONAL INVESTMENT BANK PLC
is making plans to ceed the said amount to the Health Ministry for the
procurement of Anti-Hiv / Aids Drugs. In order to avert
this ugly situation, few of my colleagues and I have
decided to contact you and seek your permission to
have you stand as Next of Kin to Late Engr. Johnson
C. Russell so that the total amount of US$54 Million
Dollars will be processed and released in your favour
into your personal account.
All documents and proofs to enable you get this
fund will be carefully worked out. We have secured from
the probate, an order of Madamus, to locate any of the
deceased beneficiary. Be rest assured that this
transaction is risk-free. You will never be under obligation or risk,
Also, your share for offering to assist us and provide the receiving
account will be 20% of the total sum, while 80%
will be for my colleagues and I, which also would be in
your account for safe custody, pending my coming
over to meet with you, and probably future investment
purpose in your country.
As soon as we receive an acknowledgement of your
willingness to accept our proposal, we shall
furnish you with further details as we concluded all
arrangements to have the money transferred to you
within 7 working days from the date of
commencement.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, then furnish
us with your most confidential telephone and fax
numbers including the details of the receiving account
immediately, at which time an application for the
funds release will be draft in your favour.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation.
Regards,
Dr. Edward K. Diarra.
