Victoria Island Branch Lagos.
Dear Sir/Madam,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and topsecret.Though I know that all will be well at the end of the day, we havedecided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction as we feel that you may have the ability to handle such transaction.
Let me start by introducing myself to you, I Mr.DAV CHUKWU DUMEBI an Accountant with Cometh Bank of Nigeria Plc. Lagos. I came to know you in my private search for a reliable and reputable person to handle this onfidential business transaction.
The Preposition:A foreigner, late Engr. Dahlig Mitchell, an oil merchant/contractor with the federal government of Nigeria until his death in Korean air light 801, which crashed in Guam on august 1997, banked with us here the Cometh Bank Plc., Victoria Island branch and had a closing balance of US$20.5M (Twenty Million Five Hundred Thousand Dolars) which the bank Unquestionably expects it to be claimed by any available foreign next of kin of the late beneficiary or alternatively be donated to a iscredited trust fund for arms and ammunition at a military war college here in Nigeria.
Fervently, valuable effort were made by the Cometh bank to get in touch
with any of the Daligh's family or relative but proved to no avail. It
is because of the perceived possibly of not being able to locate any of
the late Engr. Dahlig Mitchell?s next of kin (he had no wife and children) that the management had an arrangement be made for the funds to be declared un-claimable and subsequently be donated to the trust fund for arms and ammunition to further enhance the course of war in Africa and the world in general as stated in the our financial constitution that any unclaimed deposited fund after four years be converted.
In order to avert this negative development, some of my trusted
colleagues and I now seek your permission to have you stand as the
Next-of-kin to Engr. Dahlig Mitchell so that the funds US$ 20.5M (Twenty Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) would be released and paid into your bank account as the beneficiary next of kin. All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be careful worked out and more so we are assuring you a 100% risk free involvement. Your share stays while the rest will be for me and my colleague for investment purpose in your Country.
If this proposal is all right by you then kindly get back to me at my mail:daviddumebi_bank@yahoo.com,
immediately by sending me your full names, direct phone number and fax number.For us to proceed in the execution of this life time
opportunity.
Yours faithfully,
