Your candid attn: Imhoff
Good day to you, and Compliments of the new year yuletides. I got your email
contact through Internet search during my research on someone who could
help me work out this little Banking problem relating to a late customer
of our Bank of whom the Bank requires me to provide a next of kin to his
unclaimed over due dormant account.
I am an accountant with GLOBAL BANK PLC. My name is Joseph Awaye. I was
an Accounts officer to Eng. Alfred Imhoff, a National of your Country, who
was a contractor with the DEPARTMENT OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES VICTORIA ISLAND,
LAGOS, who here-in-after shall be referred to, as my client.
On January 30, 2000, my client (Engr. Alfred Imhoff), his wife, and their
three children were involved in the Kenya airways flight with registration
number 5Y-BEN which departed from Nairobi to destination Lagos and the family
all died in a fatal air crash on that January 30, 2000. Since then I have
made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my client's extended
Relatives. This has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last name
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family. This is why I contacted
you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property
left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable
by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly the GLOBAL
BANK PLC, where the deceased had an account Valued at about ($10.8 million
U.S Dollars) has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin to my client,
or have the account confiscated within the next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years
now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
(believing you would be competent to handle it) as you both have the same
surname, so that the proceeds of this account valued at ($10.8 million US
Dollars) can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money, 45%
to me and 45% to you and 5% for any charity organization in your country.
While 5% for unforeseen bottlenecks we might incur in this transaction.
An attorney will be contracted to help us revalidate and notarize all the
necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you and me from any breach of the law. And I need to assure
you that this transaction is 100 risks free and very legal.
Best regards,
Joseph Awaye
