Subject: Confidential Business Proposal
Dear Sir,
I am Mr. Patrick Clarkson, Bank Manager of Gulf Bank Nigeria Plc, Ikeja
Branch
lagos. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for
you.
On June 6, 1999, an Germany Oil consultant/contractor with the South
Africa
Minning Corporation, Mr.Albert Thomas made a numbered time (Fixed)
Deposit
for twelve calendar months, valued at US$22,000,000.00 (Twenty- two
Million
Dollars) in my branch.Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address
but
got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we
discovered
from the South Africa Minning Corporation that Mr.Albert Thomas died
from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that
he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of
kin
were fru! itless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered
that
Mr.Albert Thomas did not declare any kin or relations in all his
official
documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
US$22,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being
rolled
over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever
come
forward to claim it and according to my country Law, at the expiration
of
5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigeria
Government
if nobody applies to claim the fund.Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand
in as the next of kin to Mr.Albert Thomas so that the fruits of this
man labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government
officials.
We shall employ the service of an Attorney to process and notarization
all
the necessary documents and
letter of probate/administ! ration in your favor in order for the
transfer
to take place. A bank account in any part of the world which you will
provide
will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the
beneficiary/next
of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the
ratio of 50% for me and 50% for you.There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will
be
done by the Attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees
the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please
reply immediately via the private email address below.I shall then provide you with more details and relevant document that
will
help you understand the transaction. Or you can send your replies
through
the alternative e-mail address: patrickjames28@yahoo.it please observe
utmost
confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most
profitable
for both of us because I shall requireyour assistance to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply.Thanks and regards.
Mr. P.Clarkson
