Subject: MONEY TRANSFER VERY URGENT PLS
Dear sir,
I am,a Bank Manager of Union Bank of Nigeria, Lagos Island
Branch.I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for
you.
On June 6, 2000, an American Oil Consultant/ Contractor with the
National Oil Nigeria LTD, Mr.Robert Noel made a numbered time(Fixed)
Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$5,611,000.00 (five
Million six hundred and eleven thousand US Dollars only)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 National Oil Nigeria LTD that Mr. Robert Noel
died from an automobile crash. On further investigation, I found out
that he died without making "WILL", and all attempts to trace his
next
of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr.Robert
Noel did not declare any kin or relations in all his official
documents,including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
US$5,611,000.00 only is still sitting in my Bank and the interest
isbeing 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 to act as the next of kin to Mr.Robert Noel so that the fruits
ofthis
old man's labourwill not get into the hands of some corrupt
government officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names
and address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents
and affidavits which will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall
emplothe service of two Attorney for drafting and notarization of the
"WILL" and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your favour for the transfer. A Bank Account
in any part of the world which you will provide will then facilitate
the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin.
The money will be paid into your Account for us to share in the ratio
of 60% for me and 30% for you, while 10% is for expences in the course
of the transaction. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for
this transaction will be done by the Attorney and my position as the
Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.
If you are interested. Upon your response, I shall then provide you
with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand
the
transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall
require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thank you.
