Subject: waiting for your response
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am an accountant with a bank here in London. There is a fixed
deposit
of £150,000,000.00 (One Hundred and Fifty Million Pounds Sterling) made
to
this bank since 1995 which is ten years now and since then no clam or
withdrawal have been made on that deposit.
Fortunately, I have been the person working the interest from the day
of
deposit to date. The interesting part of it is that the fixed deposit
belongs to the late Nigerian dictator General Sani Abacha, this means
that
the account may have been abandoned by the surviving family members or
that
they are not even aware of the existence of the deposit.
However, I just finished updating the interest of the deposit this
January,
and it has come up to £10,500,000.00 at the 7% interest rate per annum.
It
is this interest that I am interested in because I know very well that
the
family will care less on what happens to the interest if they want to
redeem
the deposit, they will be interested on the main money, that is if they
are
able to clam it at all because all the money lodged into different
banks
here in Europe and United States are now been claimed by the Nigerian
government.

Meanwhile, my plan is to withdraw just some amount from the accumulated
interest, which will not even affect the main fixed deposit. I will
give you
the details of procedure and my full ID when I receive your reply and
indication of partnership. Your reward and amount to withdraw will be our
mutual
agreement to avoid any is understanding. We have noting to lose, we only
need
courage to do this.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr Thomas Rynn.
