Subject: CONGRATULATION
From: Johnson Obika
African continental Bank PLC,
Lagos.
Dear Friend,
With all due respect to your personality, I request that you do not feel
disturbed as I know that business of this magnitude will surely make one
apprehensive.
I write to solicit your utmost confidence, knowing too well that we have
neither known nor met each other before, but because you and the late Mr.Jack
Young are from the same country. Having searched through the internet,from
where I got your email address, I hereby request that you become the Next
of Kin to the late customer of our bank, Late Mr.Jack Young, who died in
West Africa here and abandoned a fixed deposit of fifteen Million, Five
Hundred Thousand United States dollars (USD $ 15.500.000.00), without a
specified next of kin to inherit the deposit at the time of his death.
My name is johnson obika. I am an accountant and the accounting officer
to the Jack Young in the African continental Bank PLC. (ACB). In the financial
Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the holding bank iS required to
repatriate any abandoned fund by a foreigner if nobody comes to claim the
said funds after three (3) years of the confirmation of the death of the
depositor.For the past three years, all the effort of our Customer Service
Department to trace any relative of the Late Mr. Jack Young has proved abortive.
I do not want this funds to go into the hands of our corrupt government
officials,who have embezzled our national funds all these years.
My interest in this abandoned deposit is as follows:
1) To see that this abandoned deposit is not handed over to the corrupt
government officials of President Olusegun Obansanjo.
2) To make you the Next of Kin to the late Mr. Jack Young and whom he has
willed the said deposit before his death.
3) To ensure that the deposited funds is transferred to you as your INHERITANCE.
4) To ensure that my own share of it is invested wisely in your country
in any viable area of investment.
Bear in mind that the entire transaction will be risk - free and legitimate
since the funds will be coming to you as your INHERITANCE.
If this proposition is acceptable by you, respond to me ASAP but if not
acceptable by you, do not take advantage of it to betray me.
Remember that doing business over the Internet could sometimes be unconfidential.If
acceptable by you, send me your private telephone and fax numbers forme
to call you for detailed discussion.
Please Reply To; johnsonobika10@indiatimes.com
God bless.
Johnson Obika.
(Accountant,
