Subject: Dear Friend
Dear Friend
My name is MARK TAWA.I am a manager in one of the branches of FINANCIAL
TRUST
BANK LTD, Lagos-Nigeria. I have urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you.
On June 6 1998, an American oil consultant/contractor Mr.Barry Kelly made
a
time
(fixed) deposit for twelve calendar in my branch.Upon maturity I sent a
routine
notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month a reminder was sent and finally it was discovered from his
contact
employers Nigerian National Petroleum corporation that Mr.Barry Kelly died
from
a ghasly automobile accident in April 1999.All attempts to trace his
next-of-kin
were fruitless as he was said to have died with his entire family which
unfortunately included his next-of-kin,his first son,filled in his deposit
paperwork with us.The principal deposit, the rolled over/the acrued interest
which now total US$15,550,000.22 is still sitting in my branch office.
In the light of the above situation nobody has come forward for the inhertance
claim as at this time I am reaching out to you.I know this as I have been
monitoring the account with a personal interest over the past years and
I can
now tell you that no one will ever come forward for claim .I decided to
make
this move for the inheritance claim in collaboration with you to forstall
the
funds being forfeited to the government of Nigeria.According to the Nigerian
Banking Law,at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money will revert to
the
ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim such floating
funds.
Consequently my proposal is that I want you as a foreigner to stand in as
the
next of kin to the late Barry Kelly.This can be achieved if you do the
following
for me and also listen/adhere strictly to my instructions and advice :
1. Provide me immediately with your full names and address(es) to be used
by a
reputable attorney to prepare the necessary documents and affidavits to
put you
in place and authomatically be recognised as the next of kin to the late
Mr
Kelly by the bank.
2. Provide me with both your phone & fax numbers for strictly official
comunication between you and the bank
3. Provide a bank name and account details ( individual or corporate) in
any
part of the world into which the money will be transfered.
There is no risk at all as the paperwork for this transaction will be done
by
the reknown attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees a
speedy
and successful execution of this transaction.We shall share the funds in
the
ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you.If you are interested please reply
immediately.
It is noteworthy for you to observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured
that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us.Kindly reach
me
on
my private email address:, mark_tawa@yahoo.com
Thanks and regards,
MARK TAWA
