Subject: please act as the next of kin to our late custormer.
Auditing and Accounting Unit.
Foreign Operations Department.
Wema Bank Nigeria Plc.
Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Graham Kojo clerk to the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of WEMA BANK NIGERIA PLC. I came across a very huge sum of money
belonging to a national of your country, who used to work with AFRICAN
PETROLEUM COMPANY NIGERIA [AP]. On the 19th of May 2001, his wife and their
two children were involved in a car accident along Ibadan express road after
my verification. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of
our late customer extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last name
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left in his account
with my bank before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
bank management. The deceased had an account valued at about Nine million
five hundred US dollars only (US$9,500.000.00) Since I have been unsuccessful
in locating the relatives for over two years now I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last
name so that the proceeds of this account valued at Nine million five hundred
US dollars only (US$9,500.000.00) can be paid to you and then you and me
can share the money. 60% to me and 35% to you, While 5% will be set aside
to settle the legal expenses you may incurred during processing this transaction
with my bank management. It is this time a game of trust and interests is
required and meanwhile all the whole arrangement for you to put claim over
this fund as the bona fide next of kin to the deceased, get the required
approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place.
The directives and all the necessary information will be relayed to you
as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and also
benefit from this great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in
this country as a civil servant (A Banker), we are not allowed to operate
a foreign account and I am not bearing the same last name with our deceased
customer, as it would eventually raise an eyebrow on my side during the
time of transfer because I work with the bank. This is the actual reason
why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as
the next of kin with affidavit of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign
account where he will need the money to be transferred at his request as
it will be after due verification and clarification.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk and hitch
free. Please, you are advised to keep this as "top secret" as I am still
in service and intend to resign from service with my bank after I conclude
this deal with you, I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this
bank until you confirm the said money in your designated bank account, and
ask me to come over to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according
to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your
country or any country you advice me to invest in. All other necessary vital
information will be sent to you when I hear from you. I suggest you get
back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal through email
address above.
I look forward to pick your mail.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr Graham Kojo.
