GLOBAL TRUSTH BANK
NIGERIA PLC(GTBNP)
HEADQUARTERS VICTORIA
ISLAND LAGOS
DATE:14/FEBRUARY/2005
Dear Friend,
I am Dr .DAVID AMED, of Bills and Exchange at the foreign remittance Department
of the Union Bank of Nigeria Plc. I am writing this letter to ask for your
support and co-operation to carry out this business opportunity in my department.
I discovered an abandoned sum of $20.565m (twenty million, five hundred
and sixty five thousand united states dollars only) in Account Number 11008734290
status of account fixed depositaccount, that belongs to one of our foreign
customer Mr. Lee won C.E.O., WONG LEE CONSTRUCTION COMANY NIGERIA LIMITED,
Who died along with his entire family in November 2001 in a plane crash.
Since we got information abouthis death we can not release the money unless
somebody applies for it as the next of kin or relation to the deceased.
As indicated in our banking
guidelines.
Unfortunately, neither the family members nor the relations have
appeared to claim this money. At this discovery, I decided to do business
with you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation of
the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming
for it and I don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as an unclaimed
debt.
The banking law and guidelines of GLOBAL TRUSTH BANK NIGERIA PLC
stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed for a period of Six (6)
years it will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. the
need for a foreigner as next of kin in this sense is occasioned by the fact
that the customer was a foreigner and as a Nigerian cannot stand as his
next of kin or heir. I agreed that 30% of the money will be for you as foreign
partner, thereafter I will visit your country for disbursement according
to the percentage indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of the fund to you as
indicated. You must apply to the bank as relation or next of kin of the
deceased. Indicating your bank number and indicating where the money will
be remitted. Upon receipt of reply .I will send to you the text of application
as soon as you receive this letter you should reach me through my above
e-mail immediately and indicate your direct and confidential telephone number
for effective communication hoping to here from you through my alternative
mail;david_amed10@yahoo.com
My address as stated above.
Yours Faithfully,
Dr .DAVID AMED.
