Hello Dear,
I do recognize the surprise this urgent but confidential letter brings to
you, especially as it came from a stranger. I am MR TAJUDEEN DATTI, GROUP
HEAD TREASURY,BILLS AND EXCHANGE, INLAND BANK(Nig) PLC. In my department,
we discovered an abandoned sum of US$10.5m (Ten million, Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars only) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign
customers Engr. Peter Gonzalez, a Chilean National, who died along side
with his entire family in November 1997 in a plane crash. Since we got the
information of his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come
over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies
for it as next of kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guide.
Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy to locate any of
his extended relatives. But this has also proved unsuccessful. After these
several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the
Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in securing this money before they get confiscated
or declared unserviceable by my bank. It's therefore, upon discovery that
I decided to make business with you and release the money to you as next
of kin or relation to the deceased for safe keepingand subsequent disbursement,
since nobody is coming for it and I don't want this money go back into Federal
Government's account as unclaimed bill.
Note that it does not necessarily matter, whether you are biologically related
to the deceased or not. As you may bear with me, a next of kin maybe a parent,
sister, brother, close relative, associate,friend or even a well-wisher.
So, whether you are related to him or not is never a barrier to realizing
the transaction. The banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such
an account remains dormant or non-operational after a period of four (4)
years, the money will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed
fund.
However, attempts has been made twice by the Government Agency concerned
to confiscate this account since the expiration of thefour years if not
for my intervention as the account supervisor as I have always told them
that the next of kin has been in touch with us. The request of a foreigner
as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer
was a foreigner. This transaction is aimed at investing in a blue chip company
in your country or any other country under a joint business partnership
with you. But if you want certain percentage of the deposit for your involvement,
please do let me know so that we negotiate on your share. Once the deposit
is secured, thereafter, I will visit your country for the investment thereof.
Please be honest to me. Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of the
fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as the next of
kin to the diseased. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax
the text of the application with the name of the deceased and his country
and other information about him.
Note that this transaction requires utmost confidentiality. And I am assuring
you that it is 100% risk free. So you need not be afraid. I expect a positive
response from you soonest.My private email address is (datti4ever@yahoo.com)
Best regards,
MR TAJUDEEN DATTI
