Dear Sir,
I am Mr Babaginda Muzanda director of foreign remmitance with Union Bank of Switzerland, UBS AG Branch. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
On June 6,1999, an American Oil Consultant Contractor with Mauritius Mining Corporation. MR. JOSEPH SAMIR made a numbered Time Fixed Deposit for Twelve Calendar months valued at Eight Million Three hundred United States Dollars Only(US$8.3M) 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 finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Island of Mauritius Mining Corporation, that MR. JOSEPH SAMIR died on 11th September Bomb Blast in America 2001. 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 MR. JOSEPH SAMIR did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents including his Bank Deposit paper work in my Bank.
This Sum of Eight Million Three hundred United States Dollars Only(US$8.3M)is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year, no one will ever come forward to claim it. According to the Island of Mauritius Law,at the expiration of Five (5) years, the money will be reverted to the ownership of the Island of Mauritius Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you to as a Foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to MR.JOSEPH SAMIR so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
This is simple, 1. I will like you to provide immediately your full name and address with bank details so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits, which will put you in place as the next of kin/ beneficiary.
2. We shall employ the service of two Attorneys for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of Probate Administration in your favour for the transfer, A bank account in any part of the World which you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary /next of kin, The money will be paid into your account and as soon as these money is been transferred into your account, we will then discuss the sharing ratio, ok?
Please you should note that we will map out 5 to 10% of the total sum for expenses during this exercise.
There is no risk at all as all the paper work for this transaction will be done by the Attorneys and my position guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private- email address above: Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks and remain blessed.
Yours sincerely,
Mr.Babangida Muzanda.
UBS AG.
