DEAR FRIEND,
I WISH TO USE THIS MEDIUM TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU, I AM DR. HASSAN DAVID,
THE DIRECTOR OF (G.F.S.) GLOBEONE FINANCE AND SECURITIES - WEST AFRICA.
I AM WRITING IN RESPECT OF OUR FOREIGN CUSTOMER OF MY BANK MR. ARTHUR SMITH
OF AMERICA WITH ACCOUNT NUMBER GFS-100144986-00, WHO PERISHED IN A PLANE
CRASH OF 31ST OCTOBER 1999 (WITH EGYPTIAN AIRLINE 990) WITH OTHER PASSENGERS
ABOARD. SINCE THE DEMISE OF MR. SMITH, I PERSONALLY HAVE WATCHED WITH KEEN
INTEREST TO SEE THE NEXT-OF-KIN BUT ALL HAS PROVED ABORTIVE AS NO ONE HAS
COME TO CLAIM HIS FUNDS OF USD $2 MILLION (TWO MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS)
WITH OUR BANK HERE FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
ON THIS NOTE I DECIDED TO SEEK FOR WHOM HIS NAME SHALL BE USED AS THE NEXT-OF-KIN,
AS NO ONE HAS COME UP TO PUT A CLAIM AS THE NEXT-OF-KIN TO THIS FUND AND
THE BANKING ETHICS HERE DOES NOT ALLOW SUCH MONEY TO STAY MORE THAN FIVE
YEARS, BECAUSE AFTER FIVE YEARS THE MONEY WILL BE CALLED BACK TO THE BANK
TREASURY AS UNCLAIMED BILL. IN VIEW OF THIS I GOT YOUR CONTACT THROUGH MY
COUNTRY'S FOREIGN TRADE MISSION AFTER I WAS CONVINCED IN MY MIND THAT YOUR
NAME COULD BE USED AS THE NEXT-OF-KIN TO THIS CLAIM. THE REQUEST OF THE
FOREIGNER AS A NEXT-OF-KIN IN THIS BUSINESS IS OCCASIONED BY THE FACT THAT
THE CUSTOMER WAS A FOREIGNER AND A NIGERIAN CANNOT STAND AS THE NEXT-OF-KIN
TO A FOREIGNER.
I HAVE AGREED TO SHARE THIS MONEY WITH YOU IN THE MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING OF
70%/30%.YOU KEEP 30% WHILE I KEEP 70%, HOW ABOUT THAT? THEREAFTER I WILL
VISIT YOUR COUNTRY FOR DISBURSEMENT AS I AM ALMOST DUE FOR RETIREMENT. UPON
THE RECEIPT OF YOUR RESPONSE I WILL SEND YOU BY COURIER SERVICE A DRAFT
WHICH YOU WILL CASH THE MONEY AND SEND TO THE BANK SO THAT THE MONEY CAN
BE TRANSFERRED INTO YOUR ACCOUNT AS AT THE TIME THE BANK IS NOW READY TO
TRANSFER THE MONEY INTO YOUR NOMINATED BANK ACCOUNT.
NOTE THAT THE REASON WHY I AM SENDING YOU THIS DRAFT IS TO ENABLE YOU PAY
FOR THE BANK CHARGES, BECAUSE THE BANK WILL SURELY ASK YOU FOR A TRANSFER
FUND. THIS WILL ENABLE YOU TO PAY FOR IT AND THE MONEY WILL BE TRANSFERRED
TO YOUR DESIGNATED ACCOUNT. SO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS TO STAND AS THE NEXT-OF-KIN
IN THE SENSE THAT YOU ARE A FOREIGNER AND THIS MONEY CANNOT BE GIVEN TO
A NIGERIAN PERSON.
I WILL NOT FAIL TO BRING TO YOUR NOTICE THAT THIS BUSINESS IS HITCH-FREE
AND THAT YOU SHOULD NOT ENTERTAIN ANY FEAR AS THE WHOLE REQUIRED ARRANGEMENT
HAS BEEN PERFECTED FOR THE TRANSFER. YOU SHOULD CONTACT ME AS A MATTER OF
FACT IMMEDIATELY. HOPING TO HEAR FROM YOU.
PLEASE, YOU ARE ADVISED TO KEEP THIS TRANSACTION TOP SECRET, AS I AM STILL
IN SERVICE AND INTEND TO RETIRE FROM SERVICE AFTER I CONCLUDE THIS DEAL
WITH YOU. I WILL BE MONITORING THE WHOLE SITUATION HERE IN THE BANK UNTIL
YOU CONFIRM THE MONEY IN YOUR ACCOUNT. AND ASK ME TO COME DOWN TO YOUR COUNTRY
FOR SUBSEQUENT SHARING OF THE FUND ACCORDING TO THE PERCENTAGES PREVIOUSLY
INDICATED.
LASTLY, I WILL LIKE TO INFORM YOU THAT I WILL TAKE CARE OF THE BANK TO BANK
DIRECT TRANSFER CHARGES AND THE LAWYER'S CONSULTATION FEE, WHILE YOU WILL
TAKE CARE OF THE DOCUMENTATION CHARGES THAT WILL BE PROCURRED BY THE LAWYER
AND WILL BE DELIVERED TO YOU THROUGH DIPLOMATIC COURIER SERVICE DELIVERED
TO YOUR MAILING ADDRESS.
FOLLOW WITH FURTHER INVESTMENT, EITHER IN YOUR COUNTRY OR ANY COUNTRY YOU
ADVISE US TO INVEST. YOU CAN CALL ME TO CONFIRM THIS TRANSACTION ON MY DIRECT
LINE 234 803 4700 773
BEST PERSONAL REGARDS
