I am More Orum of fortune international bank PLC , the personal account
manager of Mr.Jim Vliet a nationale of your country, who used to work with
shell development company here in Nigeria. On the 16th October 2002, our
customer, his wife And their two children were involved in a car accident
along Lagos-Abeokuta express road.All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately
lost there lives. Since then several enquiries have been made to locate
any of his extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his name which
is the same with yours, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted
you. I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money he left behind
in our bank before they got confisicated or declared unretrievable by our
bank due to lack of servicing of the account by our customer ,he deposited
the sum of US$15.2 million dollars in our bank the FORTUNE INTERNATIONAL
BANK PLC and the banking guidelines of FORTUNE INTERNATIONAL BANK PLC stipulatesb
that if such money remained unclaimed for over a period of time 2 years
and few months, with the account unservicable the money will be confisicated
and this will happen in the next few days if nobody comes for the money
Since we have not seen any body for the money for the last two years and
our bank has been notifying the notary club for the past one year, now I
seek your consent to present yourself as the next of kin of the deceased
since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued
at US$15.2 million dollars can be paid to you and then we can share the
money.
I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law.Please reply only with this
email address below email orum@caramail.com to enable us discuss further.
