CONFIDENTIAL
My Dear friend,
Please do not be surprised to receive this mail from someone relatively
unknown to you. I want you to know that this is no joke or a Spam generated
message.
I got your your contact through Business Journals in the internet.
I am JUDE EKE, Area Manager of Gateway international Bank Plc. lagos nigeria
in west Africa.
I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On
december 1999, an African farm consultant/contractor with the Nigerian
Cotton Coporation, Mr. mationa MUSHAYA from Zimbabwe made a numbered time
(Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at $6,000,000.00,(six
Million Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification
to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After some months, I sent a reminder and finally I discovered from his
contract Company.(T.C.C.) that Mr. mationa MUSHAYA died from political
misunderstanding that affected most farmers from his country Zimbabwe,
please see website for proof (http://www.zimvigil.co.uk/rollofhonour.htm)
Please they are numbers 22 and 23 in the website. On further investigation,
I found out that he died with his wife who is the nearest person to him
Mrs.onias MUSHAYA without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his any
next of kin was fruitless because he had no child.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. mationa
MUSHAYA did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents
here in nigeria and Zimbabwe, also including his Bank Deposit paperwork in
my Bank. This sum of $6,000,000.00 has carefully been packed in a banking
trunk box and moved out of my bank to a security company here for
safe-keeping.
No one will ever come forward to claim it in the bank again. According to
Republic of nigeria law, at the expiration of 2 (two) years, the money will
revert to the ownership of the nigerian Government if nobody applies to
claim the fund.
And that is the reason why I removed the fund from the bank. Consequently,
my wish is that I will want you as a Foreigner to stand in as the owner of
the trunk box. I deposited it in a security company in one trunk box like I
said earlier though the security company does not know the contents of the
box as I tagged them to be banking papers/bonds for safe keeping. I am
writing
to you because, I as a public servant, i can not operate a foreign account
or have an account that is more than $100,000 here in nigeria.
I want to present you as the owner of the box in the security company so
that you would be able to claim them with my help here as the manager of the
(bank) who now is the depositor to the box.
All these are to make sure that the fortune will not get into the hands of
this corrupt government officials we have here. I will like you to provide
me immediately your full names and address so that I will prepare the
necessary documents which will put you in place as the owner of the box.
The box will be retrieved from the security company by you here with my
assitance and the money will be moved out to any place of your choice for us
to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you.
NOTE, the security company does not know that the real contents of the box
is physical cash like I said earlier. There is no risk at all as all the
paperwork for this transaction will be done by me and this will
guarantee the successful execution of this transaction.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email address. Upon
your response, I shall then provide you with more details 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
in Real Estate, stocks e.t.c
Waiting to hear from you.pls you can mail me with this
email:jude_eke2007@yahoo.co.in
Regards,
MR JUDE EKE
