Subject: AWAITING YOUR RESPONSE.
Dear Sir,
I am PRINCE AYOMIDE GRIFFIN, the Director in charge of Auditing and
Accounting section of Union Bank of Nigeria Plc. Lagos Nigeria in
West Africa and also Chairman of Investigating and Auditing
Department of this Bank. With due respect and regard I have decided
to contact you on a Business Transaction that will be very beneficial
to both of us and our families.
During our Investigation and Auditing in this Bank, my department
came across a very huge sum of money belonging to one Mr. Hietacker
Kang a foreigner, who died on November 1st 2001 in a motor accident
and the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without
any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or
relation because he did not indicate any next of kin to this account
incase of death such as this.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and
partners to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and
successful during the time of execution. The said amount was
$12,500.000(Twelve million five hundred thousand United States
dollars). As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive
information through one of my good friends who work with Chamber of
Commerce on foreign business relations here in Lagos - Nigeria. It is
him who recommended your person to me to be viable and capable to
champion a business of such magnitude without any problem.
Meanwhile as a Senior Staff in this bank, and the Director of
Auditing and Accounting, I have in my possession all the necessary
documents to perfect this deal by making you the bonafide next of kin
whom this money will be transferred into his account. I need your
assistance and co-operation to get this deal done. Because as a
foreigner, you stand a better position to be presented through
documentation as the next of kin since the deceased is also a
foreigner, which the 1989 decree (14)subsection (2) of Central bank
of Nigeria states that if an account remains dormant for more than
four years the account should be closed and reverted to treasury as
unclaimed funds. This is the reason why I could not do this deal
alone as a Nigerian and a Blackman as well.
On conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the
total sum as gratification, while 5% will be set aside to take care
of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also
telephone bills, while 65% will be for me and my partners. To enable
the immediate transfer of the fund into your nominated account, you
will first apply to the bank as the next of kin to the deceased
person indicating your bank account number and location where in the
money will be remitted, Upon the receipt of your acknowledgement
indicating your interest I will give you full information on how to
go about it.
Lastly, I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank
until you confirm the money in your account. And ask us to come down
to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to
percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in
your country or any country you advice us to invest in.
All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear
from you. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating
your wish in this deal. My email address is
griffinpa@fastermail.com
for more details information.
I am expecting your reply as soon as you receive this
message.
Yours faithfully,
Griffin Ayomide.
