DEAR SIR/MADAM/CEO.
I AM MR.CHRIS EGOBIA,THE DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING IN
CROWN BANK PLC,LAGOS-NIGERIA. WITH DUE RESPECT AND REGARD FOR YOU ,I BRING
TO YOU THIS BUSINESS TRANSACTION THAT WILL BE VERY BENEFICIAL TO BOTH OF
US AT THE END OF THE TRANSACTION. DURING OUR AUDITING IN THIS BANK, IN
THIS THIRD QUATER AND LAST OF THIS FISCAL YEAR 2004,MY DEPARTMENT CAME
ACROSS A HUGE SUM OF MONEY BELONGING TO ONE ENGINEER,A FOREIGNER WHO DIED
IN 1998 IN AIR CRASH WITH HIS WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN HIS ACCOUNT HAS BEEN
DORMANT IN THIS BANK WITHOUT ANY CLAIM OF THE FUND IN OUR CUSTODY EITHER
FROM HIS FAMILY,RELATIONS OR FROM ANY QUATER BEFORE OUR DISCOVERY OWING
TO THE FACT THAT NOBODY KNOWS THAT HE KEPT SUCH AMOUNT THERE. WE HAVE FOUND
OUT THAT HE HAS NO KNOWN NEXT OF KIN TO PUT FOR A CLAIM THROUGH THE BANK'S
INQUIRY AND INVESTIGATIONS.
THE BANKING ACT AND REGULATION MADE PROVISION FOR THE NEXT OF KIN OF ANY
DECEASED TO CLAIM HIS/HER FUND IN ACCIDENTAL DEATH LIKE PLANE CRASH,MOTOR
ACCIDENT OR DEATH. ALTHOUGH,I KEPT THIS INFORMATION SECRET WITHIN MYSELF
AND TWO OF MY COLLEAGUES TO ENABLE THE WHOLE PLANS AND IDEA BE PROFITABLE
AND SUCCESSFUL DURING THE TIME OF EXECUTION. THE SAID AMOUNT IS (USD$25.5
M) TWENTY-FIVE MILLION,FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS).
MEANWHILE,ALL ARRANGEMENT TO USE YOUR NAME TO PUT FOR CLAIM OVER THIS FUND
AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED AND GET THE REQUIRED APPROVAL THROUGH
A RENOUND ATTORNY WHO WILL GET ALL THE DOCUMENTS FOR US AND SUBMIT IT TO
THE BANK IN YOUR NAME BEFORE THE MONEY IS TRANSFERED INTO YOUR ACCOUNT WILL
BE PUT IN PLACE. ALL DIRECTIVES NEEDED WILL BE RELAYED TO YOU ON TRUST AS
SOON AS YOU INDICATE YOUR INTEREST AND WILLINGNESS TO ASSIST ME , AND YOU
ALSO WILL BENEFIT IN THIS GREAT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP.YOU NEED NOT TO BE
BIAS BECAUSE I AM HERE AND KNOWS WHAT IT TAKE TO CONCLUDE THIS TRANSACTION
WITHOUT DELAY.
YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO ME AND WITH YOUR GREAT SUPPORT WE SHALL END THIS TRANSACTION
WITHIN (7-14 )WORKING DAYS. IN FACT I COULD HAVE DONE THIS DEAL ALONE BUT
BECAUSE OF MY POSITION IN THIS BANK AS A CIVIL SERVANT,WE ARE NOT ALLOWED
TO OPERATE A FOREIGN ACCOUNT, AND IT WOULD EVENTUALLY RAISE AN EYEBROW ON
MY SIDE,HENCE DURING OUR QUARTERLY MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MY
TWO COLLEAGUES ASKED ME TO LOOK OUT FOR A FOREIGN PARTNER TO CARRY OUT THIS
BUSINESS WITH. IT IS APPARENT THAT I NEED A FOREIGN PARTNER TO EXECUTE THIS
BUSINESS, WHO WILL FILE IN APPLICATION AS NEXT-OF-KIN OF THE DECEASED AND
I COLLABORATE DISCREETLY WITH MY POSITION TO HAVE THE FUND TRANSFERRED INTO
YOUR DESIGNATED ACCOUNT.
I WILL USE ANY NAME YOU WILL WISH TO USE AS THE BEBEFICIARY NEXT-OF-KIN
.I WILL NOT FAIL TO INFORM YOU THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE.
AS THERE WILL BE KNOW TRACE FOREVER,ON SMOOTH CONCLUSION OF THIS TRANSACTION,
YOUR ENTITLEMENT IS 30% OF THE TOTAL SUM AS GRATIFICATION FOR ALL YOUR ASSISTANCE
PUT TOGETHER TO SEE THAT WE CONCLUDE THIS TRANSACTION, WHILE 10% HAS BEEN
SET ASIDE TO REIMBURSE EXPENSES THAT MAY BE INCURRED DURING THE TIME OF
TRANSFER AND ALSO TELEPHONE BILLS ETC,WHILE 60% WILL BE FOR ME AND MY PARTNERS
(COLLEAGUES).
PLEASE YOU ARE ADVISED TO KEEP TOP SECRET OR CONFIDENCIALITY OF THIS TRANSACTION
AS WE ARE STILL IN SERVICE AND INTEND TO RETIRE FROM SERVICE AFTER WE CONCLUDE
THIS DEAL WITH YOU. I WILL BE MONITORING THE WHOLE SITUATION HERE IN THE
BANK UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE MONEY IN YOUR ACCOUNT. AND ASK US TO COME DOWN
TO YOUR COUNTRY FOR SUBSEQUENT SHARING OF THE FUND ACCORDING TO THE PERCENTAGES
PREVIOUSLY INDICATED. FOLLOW WITH FURTHER INVESTMENT, EITHER IN YOUR COUNTRY
OR ANY COUNTRY YOU ADVISE US TO INVEST.
AWAITING YOUR URGENT RESPONSE.
