Attn. Sir,
Compliment of the day and how is life generally with
you? Of course it is my humble wish to solicit and
crave your indulgence to make this project request for
a joint business transaction which I hope will not
come to you as a surprise, hence I plead for your
pardon.
I am Mr. Stephen Uba, the manager in the
headquarters of union bank of Nig. Plc. Lagos. I have
an urgent and confidential business proposal for you.
On April 15, 2001, an American oil
consultant/contractor with Nigerian National Petroleum
corporation (NNPC) Mr. Peter Bush made a numbered time
(fixed) deposit for twelve calendar months valued at
US$30,000,000.00(Thirty Million US Dollars) in my
branch.
On maturity, I sent a routine notification to his
forwarded address but got no reply after months we
send a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employee (Nigerian national petroleum
Corporation) that Mr. peter Bush died in a plane crash
accident. On further investigation, it was clear that
he died without making a will. All attempts to trace
his next of kin were fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered
that Mr. Peter Bush did not declare any next of kin or
relations in all his official documents including his
deposit document in my bank. The total sum
US$30,000,000.00 is still in my bank as dormant
account. No one will ever come forward to claim it.
According to Nigerian banking law, after four years,
the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian
Government. If the account owner is certified death
and nobody comes forward to claim it.
My proposal is that I am looking for a foreigner who
will stand in as the beneficiary/next of kin. This is
simple.
All you have to do is to immediately send me the
details of a bank account anywhere in the world, your
address, your telephone and fax numbers for me to
arrange payment of the money in your favour as the
relation of late Peter Bush who died in a plane crash
and the money will then be paid to you legally for us
to share in the ration of 60% for me 30% for you while
the remaining 10% will be set aside for expenses
re-imbursement.
I know that a transaction of this magnitude would make
anyone apprehensive and worried. But I am assuring you
that all will be well at the end of the day. A bold
step taken shall not be regretted, I assure you.
Please do be informed that this business transaction
is 100% legal and
there is no risk involved. I am using my position as
the bank manager and connection in the bank here to
arrange the payment in your favour as the relation of
Late Mr. Peter Bush. We shall employ the services of
an attorney to obtain all necessary documents and
letter of administration in your favour for the
payment. If you are interested, please reply
immediately through my private email address or call
me for discussion as soon as you receive this mail and
be rest assured that this transaction could be most
profitable for both of us. Please do not expose this
deal if you are not interested because if you do, it
will take me out of seat.
Please reply in strict confidence to the contact
number above. As soon as i receive your response, i
will send you some documents which you will show to
our bank when demanded.
Sincerely with warm regards,
Mr. Stephen Uba.
