Dear Friend,
It is indeed my pleasure to write to you this letter,
which I believe will be a suprise, as we are both
complete strangers.
I am Williams Cole, Deputy Managing Director of Union Bank. I am
writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank,
with account number 10-311-74450944/ ubn/b, who perished
in a plane crash Korean Air Flight 801] with the whole passengers aboard
on August 6, 1998.
Since the demise of this our customer, we have made
several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my
clients extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful
attempts, I also personally watched with keen
interest to see the next of kin but all has proved
abortive as no one has come to claim his funds of
USD.$8.5m,[Eight million five hundred thousand
united states dollars] which has been with my branch
for a very long time.
On this note, I decided to seek
for whom his name shall be used as the next of kin as
no one has come up to be the next of kin. And the
banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay
more than Seven years,the money will be recalled to
the bank treasury as unclaimed and subsequently
forfieted after this period. In view of this I got
your contact through trade journal after realizing
that your country is similar to the deceased. I will
give you 25% of the total being ($2,125,000)for you.
We shall employ the service of Attorney for the drafting and notarization
of the WILL and obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration
in your favour for the transfer. Any 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.
There is no risk at all, the paperwork for this transaction will be done
by the Attorney and my position as the Deputy Managing Director, the successful
execution of ths transaction.
Please upon the receipt of this letter send me the following,to enable start
the process of the fund into the bank account you will provide:
(1) Your full name.
(2) Phone, fax and mobile #.
(3) company name,position and address.
(4) profession, age and marital status.
(5) Bank Account.
Please If you wish to open an empty new bank account,kindly do that without
any delay.
Upon the receipt of your response, I will send you the deceased
statement of account, the application for claim, bank's fax number and the
next step to take. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business
is hitch free and that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities
for fund transfer can be finalized within 8 banking days, after you apply
to the bank as a relation to the deceased.I guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach
of the law.
