Attention: Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Nelson Smith., The manager, Bills and Exchange at the
Foreign Remittance Department of the Union Bank Plc.
I am writing this letter to ask for your support and cooperation to
carry out this business opportunity in my department.
We discovered an abandoned sum of $24,200,000.00 (Twenty Four
million, Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only) in an
account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along
with his entire family of a wife and two children in April 2001
in a Plane crash.
Since we heard of his death, we have been expecting his next-of-kin
to come over and put claims for his money as the heir, because we
cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for
claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking
guidelines.
Unfortunately, neither their family member nor distant relative has
ever appeared to claim the said fund.
Upon this discovery, I and other officials in my department have
agreed to make business with you and release the total amount into
your account as the heir of the fund since no one came for it or
discovered he maintained account with our bank, otherwise the fund
will be returned to the banks treasury as unclaimed fund.
We have agreed that our ratio of sharing will be as stated thus: 30 %
for you as foreign partner, 65 % for us the officials in my
department and 5 % for the settlement of all local and foreign
expenses incurred by us and you during the course of this business.
Upon the successful completion of this transfer, I and one of my
colleagues will come to your country and mind our share.
To commence this transaction, we require you to immediately
indicate your interest by a return e-mail and enclose the following
information:-
1. Full name
2: Your private telephone number and Fax number.
3. Occupation and Nationality.
You are to send this information to my email address to enable us
file letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary
approvals before the transfer can be made.
Note also, this transaction must be kept STRICTLY
CONFIDENTIAL because of its nature.
I look forward to receiving your prompt response and kindly reply
me at:nelsmith001@atlas.cz
Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Nelson Smith.
