Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?URGENT=20BUISNESS=20ASSISTANCE?=
Dear Friend,
I sincerely write to seek your co-operation and trust to enable me carry
out an urgent business Opportunity in my department. I work with the STANDARD
TRUST BANK PLC - FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA. Currently, I am in charge
of bills and exchange at the foreign remittance department of my bank. I
was the account officer to one Mr Andersson , who died along with his wife
in April 21st, 2002 in an Auto Crash at Sagamu Lagos State.
He left in his domiciliary account the total sum of $10 million USD ( Ten
Million USA Dollars ). Since the management got the information of his death
we have been expecting any of his relation or his next of kin to come up
and claim his money. Unfortunately from the day of his death till the time
of this letter none of his relation or friends has come up for the claim.
The banking and financial law of STANDARD TRUST BANK PLC stipulates that
if such fund remained unclaimed after a period of three (3) years, it will
be lost to the bank as unclaimed deposit.
On this note, I went into a geonological research under family trees for
his last name and after much navigation which was done by me alone, I came
across your your contact on the internet and I decided to contact you. The
bank will release the money to you as the next of kin to the deceased as
I will file you up as the next of kin to the deceased fund owner. After
the bank must have accepted you as the living next of kin to the deceased,
we will then arrange for subsequent disbursement of the fund amongst us.
I will soon proceed for my retirement leave, and I personally do not want
this fund to be lost to the bank. That is why I wanted the fund to be move
out of the bank before I proceed on my retirement from the banking services.
The need for a foreigner as next of kin in this project is occasioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Nigerian will not perfectly
fit in as his next of kin or heir. I have agreed that 50% of the Fund would
be for you as foreign partner, thereafter I will visit your country for
disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Hope to hear from you soonest
NOTE:-I will like you to contact me through my alternative email address
for security reason so here is the email address:- mr_durojayewilliams@yahoo.com
Yours Faithfully,
MR DUROJAYE WILLIAMS
STANDARD TRUST BANK PLC
