From the Desk of Mr.Adams Okolo
Auditor.
Re: Transfer of (USD12, 200.000.00) Twelve Million Two
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars.
Dear friend,
I have decided to contact you due to your position in your country, which
I totally hope, will bring about the success of this business. We want
to transfer to overseas account (USD12, 200.000.00) Twelve Million Two
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars from a
Prime Bank in African.
My name is Mr. Adams Okolo, the Auditor-General of one of the Prime Banks
here in Nigeria. During the course of our auditing, I discovered a floating
fund in an account opened in the bank in 1998 and nobody has operated on
this account again.
After a thorough research, I discovered that the owner of the account
died along with his wife and his two sons in a ghastly motor accident along
Port-Harcourt Ikwerre Express Road in 1998. All the occupants in the vehicle
lost their lives. The owner of this account was Mr. Robin T. Gregson; a
foreigner, an industrialist, a very influential businessman, natural
minerals and crude oil magnate here in Nigeria.
Nobody knows about this account or anything concerning it excepts you
and me. The account of Mr. Robin T. Gregson has no beneficiary since he
died with his heirs. And my investigation also proved to me that he was
until his death, the Manager of Diamond Safari
(PTY) Nigeria.
I am revealing this to you with the belief that you will never let me
down in this business, and, you are the first and only person that I am
contacting for this business. I have reasoned very professionally and
I feel it will be legally proper to present you as the Next of Kin of my
deceased client and the sole beneficiary of his estate, so that you can
be paid the
funds left in his bank account, hence I contacted you. I seek your consent
to present you as the Next of Kin; the bank needs only the facts as presented
legally. Kindly take to heart that I am contacting you being a foreigner
because this money cannot be approved to a
local person here, without a valid foreign international passport.
The funds would only be approved for transfer to a foreigner. The former
owner
of the A/C Mr. Robin T. Gregson was a foreigner ,hence the money can only
be approved into a foreign A/C. I will like to start the first transfer
of Five Million United States Dollars (USD5, 000.000) which when transferred
successfully, we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining amount
to your Account. The total amount involved is (US$ 12.2M) Twelve
Million Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars.
Note that the management is ready to approve this payment to any Foreigner
who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you.
Upon your positive response, I will use my position and influence to obtain
all legal approvals for onward transfer of this money to your nominated
Bank Account with appropriate clearance from the relevant
ministries and Foreign exchange departments. At the conclusion of this
exercise, we shall both share the funds. 50% to me and 40% to you, while
10% should be for Expenses both parties might have incurred during the
process of transferring/Taxes as your Government may require.
I assure you that I shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents that
will be used to back up our claim. All I require is your honest cooperation
to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you and I from any breach of law.
Please get in touch with me .
Thank you.
Respectfully yours,
Mr.Adams Okolo
