Dear Friend,
I sincerely apologize for intruding into your privacy especially by contacting
you through this means for a business transaction of this magnitude, but
due to the seriousness and urgency it demands, it therefore became necesary
for me to seek your assistance, and it is imperative for me to know your
opinion about what i intend to relate to you. I would respectfully request
that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity
of the information you come by as a result of this mail. I contacted you
independently and no one should be informed of this communication. I would
like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest
to you.
I am Mr.Franklyn Ogala an Accountant with Citi-Trust Finance & Security
Ltd, Lagos, Nigeria. I am the Account Officer to Late Mr. Gabriel Gibson,
a foreigner, who used to work as a contractor with an Oil Servicing Company
in the Oil rij Niger delta region of Warri, Delta State Nigeria. On the
30 Jan 2000, my client died in an aircrash involving a Kenya airways flight
with registration number 5Y-BEN which departed Nairobi to Lagos. I refer
you to this link for further information regarding the crash:
http://www.bea-fr.org/docspa/2000/5y-n000130a/htm/5y-n000130a.html
After several unsuccessful attempts to locate his immediate family, I decided
to contacted you to act as his Next of Kin because I discovered that the
deceased did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official
documents he tendered to the Security Company while opening the account.
The reason why I contacted you is to assist me in repatriating the money
before they get confiscated or declared as 'UNCLAIMED BALANCE' by the Security
Company.
Meanwhile, the deceased until his death had a Fixed Deposit account of $5,500,000(
Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand USD) and if I fail to locate any of
his relatives or the next of kin (and have this money transfered to them)
the Security Company will confiscated the account within 6 weeks and the
money declared as UNCLAIMED BALANCE.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 5 years
now, my proposal is that I will like you to stand in as the next of kin
to the deceased due to the fact that you a foreigner and can easily pass
as the deceased relative and Next of Kin. This is simple, I will like you
to provide immediately the following information:
Your full names.
Contact address.
Telephone/Fax Numbers.
With these information we will be able to apply for the funds.I will support
you with all the relevant information including the deceased Death Certificate
so that when this money is transferred, you and I will share it thus: 60%
for me, 35% for you and 5% for any expenses that might be incurred during
the course of the transaction.
Secondly, we will also engage the services of a reputable attorney who will
prepare the necessary legal documents that will put you in place as the
next of kin. The attorney would also obtain the necessary documents and
letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this transaction
through bearing in mind that we should work as partners to achieve this
common goal which will be of immense benefit to us. There is no risk at
all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney
and with my position as the Account Officer of the deceased guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction.If you are interested,please reply
immediately.
Upon your positive response, I shall then provide you with more details
and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction better.
Please send your reply to: frankgala@ukrpost.net
Best Regards,
Mr. Franklyn Ogala.
