Subject: get back to me
In my quest to discover and properly scrutinise record of digits in my
office, as an experienced banker. I got this to tell you, i discovered a
DORMANT ACCOUNT worth (US$26,000,000.00) twenty six million US dollars in our bank.
Anyway, I am Mr. Nkem Eric, the auditor and computing manager of United
Bank for Africa PLC (UBA). There exist an account opened in this bank in
1980 and since 1990 nobody has operated this account.
I discovered from records that Mr. Jack Hamilton,a foreigner and the
manager of the Petrol Chemical Service, and also Chemical Engineer by
profession owns this account.
Moreso, this money will be forfeited if not claimed,and only a foreigner
can claim this money. Secondly,no local bank here will be allowed to have this money, so it can only be claimed with foreign account owing to the fact that the former owner was a foreigner too and the money is in US dollars. So let this not be a surprise, I am contacting you on trust and because you are a foreigner as will.In fact, I want us to claim this money into a foregn account or any account of your choice.
When the transfer is approved and payment schedule is allotted overseas, through the offshore paying delegate for finalclearance and signing of the payment release form by the beneficiary. I would want us to see at the overseas payment clearance office or during
the signing of the original binding agreement, which binds us together and will also enables us recive this money into foregn account.
In accordance with the lay down rules, guiding the transactions in the
banking industry. The bank is ready to approve the payment of this money
to any foreigner who has the correct information to this account, which I will give to you. When, I am sure of your capability to handle such money in strict confidence and trust and according to the instructions and advise for our mutulal benefit, because I wouldn't want to make mistakes.
So your assurance and trust is very important here. I shall destroy
immediately documents concerning this transaction after we must have
received this money, there by leaving no trace.With my position in the bank, there will be no hindrance in legal approvals and onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance from foreign payment department, with assurance that this money will be infact pending my arrival abroad to take my share.
Conclusively, you will be given 25% of the total amount, 70% will be for
me, while 5%will be for expenses both parties must have incurred during
the process of this transaction.
I look forward to your swift response.
Thanks and God bless.
Yours truly,
Mr. Nkem Eric
