Dr. Frank Williams,
(Bill And Exchange)
African Development Bank (ADB)
Lagos-Nigeria.
Attn; Please,
With due respect I have decided to contact you on a business transaction
that will be beneficial to both of us.
At the bank's last accounts/auditing evaluations, I came across an old account,
which was being maintained by a foreign client who was among the deceased
passengers of an airline crash in the northern Nigerian city of Kano on
Saturday 6th of May. 2002. The twin-engine, British-built BAC 1-11-500 bound
for Lagos with 71 passengers and eight crew members ploughed through about
a dozen buildings in the Gwammaja quarters of Kano, killing 74 passengers
and as many people on the ground. Scores of people were injured.
So, since the deceased was unable to run this account as a result of his
death, the account has remained dormant without the knowledge of his family
since the client put it in a safe deposit account in the bank for future
investment. Since his demise, nobody, not even the members of his family
have applied for the claim of this fund, and it has been in the safe deposit
account until I discovered that it cannot be claimed since our client is
a foreign national and we are sure that he has no next of kin here to file
claims over the money. As the managing director of the dept., I humbly solicit
your immediate assistance to transfer this money out of the bank. The total
amount in the account is (Seventeen Million Five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars only) USD$17,500.000.
With my position as the managing director of the bank, I am handicapped
because the present code of conduct act of the bank makes it an offence
for me to operate foreign account and cannot lay bonafide claim over this
and out of the country. Once you indicate your good intention to have this
fund in your account, I bring the deceased file before the desk of all the
Executive Directors of the Bank, so as to identify you as the through Next
Of Kin to the deceased.
A friend of mine from the Overseas Chamber of Commerce industry recommended
your personality to me and advised I should ask you for help, to transfer
this money out of the country. The client is a foreign national and you
will only be asked to act as his next of kin and i will supply you with
all the necessary information's and bank data's to assist you withstand
the eligibility in transferring this money to your bank account or any safe
place of your choice where this money can be successfully transferred to.
For your assistance, 35% of the total amount will be for your effort. Lastly,
I urge you to keep this transaction strictly confidential for our security
reasons while I hope to retire with my own share of this money at the end
of the successful transfer of this fund to your designated bank account
in your country. I assure you that this transaction is absolutely risk free
since I work in this bank, that is why you should be confident in the success
of this transaction because you will be updated with information as at when
desired.
Feel free to contact me through this e-mail addres-frank_williams355@yahoo.com
Thanks and remain blessed.
DR,FRANK WILLIAMS.
