Subject: URGENT ATTENTION IS NEEDED
URGENT ATTENTION IS NEEDED
Dear:
I am MR.John Egwu, the Offshore Payment Officer at the afex Bank Plc. and
close friend to Late Mr. Mathew from your country. First, I got your contact
address through AN INTERNATE DIRECTORY.
In my files I discovered that my customer abandoned sum of US$20.5Million
(Twenty million Five Hundred Thousand United states Dollars) in our bank
. On a record before my department I was made to know that they lost their
life on the Egypt Air crash, him and his family were involved in Plan crash
with the Egypt Air. All occupants of the Plan unfortunately lost their lives.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace your name
as his relatives because he is from same country with you.
Since I got information about his death, My office has been expecting his
next of kin to come over and make claim of this money which is currently
deposited in our custody because the afex Bank Plc,cannot release it directly
to me or any other person unless somebody applies for the release of it
as next of kin to the deceased as indicated in our mutual agreement (Between
THE DECEASED and the Afex MANAGEMENT), unfortunately his supposed next of
kin died along with him at the Fatal Plan crash.
It therefore upon discovery the ugly news that I now decided to make business
with you to direct you on how to apply with this office (Afex Bank.) to
assist in repatriating the money left behind by my friend before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank. The request of a foreigner
as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that my customer
was a foreigner and the next of kin died been the wife died alongside with
him and also a citizen of Egypt cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for some months
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you are from the same country so that the proceeds of this account
valued at USD$20.5 million can be paid to you and then you and l can share
the money. 60% to me and 40% to you, I have two necessary legal documents
that can be used to backup any claim we may make.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please endeavour to contact me immediately through my private.Email:john_egwu101@hotmail.com
Expecting a positive response soonest.
Sincerely yours,
Mr John Egwu.
