Subject: CONFIDENTIAL ASSISTANCE
FROM THE DESK OF DR YAHAYA USMAN
BANK OF THE NORTH NIGERIA
Dear Sir,
STRICTLY A PRIVATE BUSINESS PROPOSAL
I am DR YAHAYA USMAN , The manager, Bills and Exchange at the Foreign Remittance
Department of the BANK OF THE NORTH NIGERIA. I am writing this letter to
ask for your support and cooperation to carry out this business opportunity
in my department. We discovered an abandoned sum of $15,000,000.00 (Fifteen
million United States Dollars only) in an account that belongs to one of
our foreign customers who died along with his entire family of a wife and
two children in November 1997 in a Plane crash.
Since we heard of his death, we have been expecting his next-of-kin to come
over and put claims for his money as the heir, because we cannot release
the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin
to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Unfortunately, neither
their family member nor distant relative has ever appeared to claim the
said fund. Upon this discovery, I and other officials in my department have
agreed to make business with you and release the total amount into your
account as the heir of the fund since no one came for it or discovered he
maintained account with our bank, otherwise the fund will be returned to
the banks treasury as unclaimed fund.
We have agreed that our ratio of sharing will be as stated thus; 30 % for
you as foreign partner, 60 % for us the officials in my department and 10
% for the settlement of all local and foreign expenses incurred by us and
you during the course of this business.
Upon the successful completion of this transfer, I and one of my colleagues
will come to your country and mind our share. It is from our 60% we intend
to import Agricultural Machineries into my country as a way of recycling
the fund. To commence this transaction, we require you to immediately indicate
your interest by a return e-mail and enclose your private contact telephone
number, fax number full name and address and your designated bank coordinates
to enable us file letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary
approvals before the transfer can be made.
AS I AM EAGERLY EXPECTING YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE TO MY MAIL AS SOON AS I
RECIEVE A RESPONSE FROM YOU I SHALL HAND EVERY INFORMATION PERTAINING TO
THS FUND OVER,THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
DR YAHAYA USMAN
BANK OF THE NORTH NIGERIA
