Dear Friend,
I sincerely write to seek your co-operation and trusts
to enable me carry out an urgent business opportunity
in my department. I work with the Inland Bank Nigeria
Plc; currently I am the Senior Manager of Bills and
Exchange of my bank. I was the account officer to one
Mr. Thompson Thorn who used to work with Chevron/Texaco
Nigeria limited, here in Nigeria. On the 27th of
January 2002, my customer, his wife and their three
children were involved in Ikeja bomb blast here in my
country. My customer and his family unfortunately lost
there lives. Since then I have made several enquiries
to locate any of my customer extended relatives, this
has also proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided and do some research
in the internet, to locate any member of his family
but all to no avail. He left in his domiciliary
account the total sum of Fifteen Million United States
Dollars {$15million}. Unfortunately from the day of
his death till the time of this letter none of his
relation or friends have come up for the claim. On
this discovery, I decided do business with you and
release the money to you as the next of kin to Mr.
Thompson Thorn for safety and subsequent disbursement.
I personally do not want this fund to be transferred
into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. That is why
I wanted the fund to be move out of the bank before I
proceed on my retirement from the banking services by
next year. The need
for a foreigner as next of kin in this project is
occasioned by the fact that the customer Mr. Thompson
Thorn was a foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand as
his next of kin or heir.
I have agreed that 30% of the fund would be for you as
foreign partner; thereafter I will visit your country
for disbursement according to the percentages
indicated. To enable the immediate transfer of the
fund into your nominated account, you will first apply
to the bank as the next of kin of the deceased,
indicating your bank account number and location
wherein the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of
your acknowledgement indicating your interest, I will
send to you the text of the application that you will
send to the Inland Bank Nigeria plc authority for an
approval to submit your claims.
Send your reply through my email and indicates your
direct fax and telephone numbers for effective
communication that this transaction needs. Looking
forward to urgently hearing from you on my below
private email address:emmaojo2005@volny.cz.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.Emma Ojo.
