Dear Sir,I hope this will not meet you as a surprise, as I know that
Ihave notheard any previous corressponding with you, but have take
ninterest inyou, as a result of my choice of investment. I am Charles
O. Iyayi ,DeputyGeneral Manager in charge of Lagos and Western
Operations,Allstate Trust Bank, Nigeria.This is an urgent and very
confidential business proposition. I am seekingyour assistance here
to enable me transfer and invest the sum of
$24M (3.07 billion Nigerian currency) in LANDED PROPERTIESthere in
your country.The source of these funds is as follows:
On June 6, 2002, ,MR F. GORDON a Foreign Oil consultant/contractor
with the Nigerian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, made a
numbered time(Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at
US$24,000,000.00,(Twenty-Four Million Dollars)
Nigeria in my branch.
Upon maturity,I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address
but got no reply. After a month,we sent a reminder and
finallywediscovered
from his contract employers, the Nigerian Institute of Mining and
Metallurgy, that he 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 he did
not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official
documents
including his Bank Deposit documents in my Bank. This sum of
US$24,000,000.00 has carefully been fixed in my bank for safe
keeping.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 toclaim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that, since late customer is aForeigner,
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 moreso, my choice of
investment, which is one of the reasons why I would want you to
assist me, as I will need your assistance to invest these funds in
the Real Estate business, to
which which any PROFIT RETURN will be shared under an agreed
percentage between the both ofus, 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
toclaim them. This is simple.I will like you to provide immediately
your full names and address, as well as phone and fax numbers,so that
allthe neccessary document can be prepared , which will put you
inplaceas 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 bedone .
inaccordance to the law of the land and this guarantees thesuccessful
execution of this transaction.If you are interested,please
replyimmediately via THIS email address, committee@indiatimes.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 neccesary confidentiality required, as my job will
beat stake in the event of any eventuality. I hope that this willmeet
you in a good state of mind.I will pause for now, as I await your
urgent response.
Regards.
Charles O. Iyayi
