FROM MR,UMARU KOKORI.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION OF
EKO BANK INTERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA(IBA/BOA).
Lagos Nigeria.
Email:umaru_kokori@yahoo.com
(TOP SECRET)
Dear Friend,
I am Mr Umaru Kokori the director in charge of auditing and accounting section
of Eco Bank International Lagos Nigeria West Africa. with due respect and
regard,I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will
be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction .
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across
a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on October
31st 1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account
with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from
his family or relation before our discovery to this development.
The said amount was U.S $11.5M (Eleven million Five hundred United States
dollars). As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information
through the Nigeria chamber of foreign relations here in lagos Nigeria.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide
next of kin to the deceased,to get the required approval and transfer this
money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed
information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest
and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business
opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in
this country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate
a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during
the time of transfer because I work in this bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who
will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to
the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money
to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification
and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole
money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On
smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 40% of the
total sum as gratification, while 60% will be for me. Please, you have been
adviced to keep "top secret" as I am 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 this bank until you confirm
the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent
sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further
investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest
in.
All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from
you.
I look forward to receive your reply.
Yours faithfully,
MR.UMARU KOKORI.
