I am mrs.mercy peter credit officer of the Foriegn operations dept of
the Legend Trust Bank Plc,Topka Branch.I have a obscured business
suggestion for you.Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Colonel
sadiq Uday who was with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a
numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of
Nineteen millions Five Hundred Thousand United state Dollars only in
my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during
the war. Again after the war another notification was
sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that the
colonel and his family had been killed during the war in bomb blast
that hit their home.After further investigation it was also discovered
that Colonel Sadiq Uday did not declare any next of kin in
his,official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And
he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one
except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Nineteen millions Five
Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no
one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that
according to the laws of my country at the expiration 10 years the
funds will revert to the ownership of the Republic Of Benin Government if
nobody applies to claim the funds.Against this backdrop, my suggestion to
you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to
Colonel Sadiq Uday so that you will be able to receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we
shall come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will
prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of
kin to Colonel Sadiq Uday,all that is required from you at this stage
is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the
attorney can commence his job.
After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also fill
in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and
letter of probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an
account that will be provided by you.There is no risk involved at all
in the matter as we are going to adopt a legalized method and the
attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.Please endeavor to
observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue.Once
the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account the
sharing ratio is open for negotiation for you . Should you be
interested please send me your full names and current residential
address and I will prefers you to reach me on the email address below
(gregobi2001@yahoo.co.uk) and finally after that i shall provide you with
more details of this operation.Your earliest response to this letter will
be appreciated.
Kind Regards
MR. MERSHAL GREG OBI
