The Proposal:
An American Citizen, Late Engr. Roy A Bruce, a
Petrochemical Engineer with Eleme Petro-Chemical Co.
Rivers State. Until his death in ADC plane crash in
November 2000, operated a domiciliary account with us
and had a closing balance as at the end of September
2000 amounting to $10,500,000.00 ( Ten Million, Five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only), the bank
now expects a next of kin as beneficiary to no avail.
Valueable efforts have been made by Standard Trust
Bank Plc to get intouch with any of late Roy A Bruce's
family as beneficiary to his estates without success.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not
being able to locate any of Late Engr. Roy A Bruce's
next of kin, since he had no wife or children that is
known to the bank.
Consequently, the chairman and the board of Directors
are planning to declare the fund Unclaimed and
transfer it to special trust fund for purchase of arms
and ammunition for ECOMOG soldiers in sierra Leone and
Liberia zones in the East Africa sub-regions.In other
to avert this negative development, I now seek your
permission to have you stand as next-of -kin to the
estate of late Engr. Roy A Bruce, sothat the fund
$10,500,000.00 will be released and paid into your
account as beneficiary's next of kin.
I will help to arrange all documents and proves to
enable us get this fund out. I have secured from the
probate registry an order of mandamus to locate any of
the deceased beneficiary and more so, I am assuring
you that this transaction is risk free. Once the fund
ismoved to your nominated account, you will be entitle
to 35%. Your share stays while the rest be for me and
some people I will settle here. You will be entitled
to substantial part from my percentage, in trust for
investment.
As soon as I receive your acceptance in principle, I
will furnish you with the necessary modalities for
commencement.Finally, I am relying in my confidence in
you, having opened up to you,you can connact me via my
alternative email address (mike_willy@mail2bank.com)
