FROM GODWIN EZE.
CITIZENS INTERNATIONAL BANK .
LAGOS NIGERIA .
Dear friend.
I am Mr Godwin Eze, CITIZENS INTERNATIONAL BANK LAGOS.NIGERIA. I am the
Operations Officer, BILL AND EXCHANGE of THE FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT
OF CITIZENS INTERNATIONAL BANK LTD.,LAGOS.NIGERIA. I am writing to you,
following the impressive information about your profile through the Website,and
I believe in your capability and reliability to champion this opportunity.
In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of 45 million US dollars
(fourty-five million US dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our
foreign customers who died along
with his entire family in September,1997 in a plane crash. Since we got
information about his death, we have been expecting his next of Kin to come
over and claim his money because we can not release it unless some body
applies for it as next of Kin or relative to the deceased as indicated in
our banking and financial policies but unfortunately we learnt that his
supposed next of kin or relation died with him in the accident leaving nobody
behind to claim the money. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and
other officials in my department now decided to make this business proposal
to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the
deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for
it and we dont want this money
to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed bills. The Banking law and guide
line here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after five years,
the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request for a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned
by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an indigene cannot stand
as next of kin to the deceased family. We agreed that 40% of this money
will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign
account, 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during this transaction
and 55 % would be for me and my colleagues. Thereafter,I and my colleagues
will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.Therefore,
to enhance the immediate transfer of thisfund to you as arranged,you must
apply first to theBank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating
your private, telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication
and location where the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your reply,
I will send to you by faxor e-mail the text of the application.I will not
fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that
you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have
been made for the transfer. Please do not hesitate to cotact my lawyer on
this private e-mail drrizland@yahoo.com as soon as you receive this letter
I decided to contact you as you have products of interest in your part of
the world where we can invest our own percentage to avoid peoples awarenessas
we are civil servants. Note that we can conclude this operation within ten
banking days.Please keep this very confidential for obvious security reasons.
Contact me for more information, all confirmable before you apply if you
want. Trusting to hear from you shortly for a detailed information which
are confirmable before you can makeup your mind to apply.If however,you
are not interested,do let me know by returm maill too as I will not contact
anybody else until I hear from you.please reply this proposal through mailbox
May God be with.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Godwin Eze.
