Subject: For Your Perusal
Dear Sir,
I am MR NELSON PETER a Banker in one of the leading Commercial Banks
here in Nigeria. I contacted you based on a mutual business transaction
thatI would want us to handle in confidence and hope you can understand
theneed for us to do this and for you to stand in for it.
One Mr.Morgan Hanson and his wife. died in a ghastly motor accident whileon
a business trip on the 24th of August 2002.The said couple had no children
and was about 63years old before their death.
He never identified with anybody as his relative and investigation
made could not trace any relative to the late couple. Before his death,
he has the sum of $12,755,889.00 usd made from contracts he executed with
Oil Companies here in Nigeria and the proceeds are with our Commercial Bank.
Few weeks ago, the Bank tried requesting that the next of KIN to the
deceased should come up to claim his fund deposited with our Bank. I am
the Manager in charge of unclaimed funds hence my contacting you to stand
in as the next of Kin. After much effort made to locate any of their
relation
failed, I decided to contact you as to have you stand in as the next of
KIN to claim the fund so that the bank will not declare the account
dormant,freeze
or confiscate the amount as they stated in the letter sent to my Department.
If you can stand in, I assure you that this is risk free as I will
advise you on what to do to have this fund moved to your account and we
can agree on terms of sharing. All you have to do is to consent to this
by giving me the go ahead to have you presented to the Bank as the next
of kin througha lawyer. I will tell you how to get a lawyer but it has to
be confidential who will apply and present you as the next of KIN.
AS soon as we make application, obtain the necessary approval, the money
will be paid through here or any of the banks payment centre overseas.
This will take us about 10 working days to conclude depending on how you
respond to our correspondence If you are willing to stand in as the next
of Kin,send to me your full names, telephone numbers for us to discuss and
to brief you on the procedure that has to be taken to have this transaction
concluded within a short period of time.
Note that we will have to reach an agreement on the shearing of the fund
as you have to agree to give me my own share as soon as you receive the
money to your account.
I look forward to hearing from you.
MR NELSON PETER.
