Dear Friend,
Good day to you. I may have to trouble your sense of personal achievement
and reward for an opportunity which could properly be taken advantage of.
I work for Diamond bank plc here in Lagos . I am a relationship officer.One
of my biggest customers was late Mr Robert Adel , a Lebanese,now deceased.He
had a fixed time deposit with my Bank which had matured and remains unclaimed
till now. It runs into the value of 25 Million dollars.I knew him so well
since he was one of my most performing accounts. However the account opening
package of Robert Adel does not contain any known relatives or spouse and
neither has it been possible to trace any relative of Robert Adel.
My personal know of Robert Adel and experience in the banking industry reveals
that such monies remain recycling in the monies of the bank until finally
they may be dissipated as unclaimed funds or devolve to the Crown.Mr Robert
Adel who accidently died in an AIR CRASH BOEING 727 that took off from the
airpot in cotonou, Benin's commercial capital on the shores
of the atlantic ocean. Mr Robert Adel who died along side with his entire
family of a wife and three children in december 26 2003 . You can confirm
with this site
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/
Ever since the crash we have been expecting his next of kin to come forward
and claim the left over deposit in our bank, but uptill this moment nobody
has come forward for this claim,until we now discorvered that his next of
kin as was not documented was his late wife Jarrai who also died in the
plane crash with their children. and we have made several efforts to locate
any of his extended family relatives, but non is seems to be availlable,and
we even went as far as going to his embassy here to see if there is any
records of him, and the embassy said such name is not registered with them,
and therefore has no record of him.we only did this to be double sure of
this fact. After these several unsuccessful attempts, we therefore decided
to tract your name over the internet so as to seek your consent and assistance
in repatriating the money and property left behind by this client before
it becomes confiscated or declared unserviceable by the banks management.
I am thus clandestinely looking for someone who will assist me to have the
money legally claimed and moved out of our bank for our joint purpose. I
have put in place effective measure to ensure that this works out smoothly
and have also conducted a sensitivity analysis on this. I need you to front
as the Beneficiary of the estate of Robert Adel .
This is simple and could be handled through any solicitor here in Nigeria.
I will employ the services of an external solicitor to help prepare Letters
of probate in your favour as the beneficiary of Robert Adel?s Investment.
This will be granted by the Probate Office and then forwarded to DBP and
you will thus be given access to the money as the owner.This is sure as
I have put in measures to ensure that this works without any hitch. Assurances
are given you to this effect,I have my job to protect and cannot afford
to fail.When you have safely secured same and moved the money to your given
account we shall then meet and have the booty shared. I am magnanimous to
concede
35% to you while 60% will be for me, and 5% shall be mapped out for any
contigencies that may arise.
Kindly take note of this to avoid any future dispute on how to
distribute the facility among us. I think this is an open show of magnanimity,as
this is a very fair concession and I do not intend to go a single dollar
beyond this.
If you are capable of putting your time and efforts towards the actualization
of this, kindly reach me and let us work together to get achieved. Be sure
to reach me on my private yahoo account caxton222@yahoo.com ,Please have
every second thought and be sure if you are interested before you contact
me, don?t just contact me because of the amount involved but please only
do so if you know you are genuinely interested and will give it the required
commitment for the good of us all.
Have a very wonderful day.
Yours truly,
Caxton Edwards
