24th March, 2005
Hello,
I am Dr. JOE IFEANYI a banker, staff in the office of the director international
remittance department, Global Bank of Nigeria Plc, Lagos-Nigeria. I have
urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.On June 2001,
an American Oil
consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation,engr.
ROY BRICE made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months,
valued at US$17,000,000.00(seventeen million Dollars ) in my branch.Upon
maturity,I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got
no reply.
After a month,we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract
employers, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that Engr. Roy died
from an automobile accident with his wife and three children.On further
investigation,I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts
to trace his next of kin was fruitless I therefore made further investigation
and discovered that He did not declare any kin or relations in all his official
documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
US$17,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled
over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come
forward to claim it.
According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5(five) years, the money
will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies
to claim the fund.Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a
foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to him so that the fruits of this
old man's labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government
officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full name and
address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits
which will put you in place as the next of kin, your direct phone number
for easy communication.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of
60% for me and 40% for you.There is no risk at all as all the paperwork
for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position with the
bank guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.If you are
interested, please send the informations to me.
Upon your response, I shall then send to you an application which you will
fill and forward to the bank requesting the release of the fund to you.Please
observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction
would be most profitable for both of us as I will need your advice in the
area of investment in your country. My cell # 234-8028286924

Best regards,
Dr. Joe
