Subject: BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP
Dear Sir.
I am Mr.ANTHONY WILLIAMS, the Finance Manager to the Ecobank Nig
Plc.Your contact was given to me by a very good/ school mate of mine,
that works with the Nigeria Chambers of Commerce here in Nigeria.
So i will be please to use this chance to intruduce to you a business
transaction(deal). You are to relax your mind, because this is REAL.
Being the manager in the bank(Ecobank) i have discover a very good deal
transaction which both of us will benefir from, provided i am
concerned.
As its stands, there is a foreign client(customer) in person of MR.
EDWARD PALMER, also a very good business man who has a very huge sum of
amount($18.580Million) in the bank(Ecobank) before his suprise death.
It was a pity and sorrowfull that Mr,Palmer, the wife and their only
son
died sorrowfully, which is, they were among the victims of the
TERRORIST BOMB BLAST TRAGEDY, that occured recently(11th, september,
2001) in United States of America(USA) during his visit for a business
negotiation in America.
As the forex manager in the bank also a very good family friend to Mr,
Palmer, i have been able to try all my possible best to see(locate) if
i
can get or know any of thisman (Mr, Palmer) family member or relation,
so that i can get them informed of the latest development as regards to
the huge sum of amount which belongs to Mr, Palmer in the Ecobank. To
your best knowledge this sum($18.580Million) is floating in the Ecobank
and i will not want it to finally taken by the management of the
Ecobank.
But to my greatest suprise, it happens that Mr, Palmer, did not have
anybody or other person left behind to stand as his NEXT OF KIN to this
money ($18.580 Million).
Now, since this man has no any other person left behind for the claim
of
this very huge sum of money, as the NEXT OF KIN, i will want to liaise
with you as a foreign partner in respect of this money, so that this
huge sum ($18.580 Million) could be paid (Remitted) to you into your
private bank account as the NEXT OF KIN to this our very good customer/
client (Mr, Palmer).
For your information all the necessary arrangement has been put in
place
to ensure 100% success, while all the important document that covers
this money are also at my hand reach, as i have told you initially that
i am a family friend to this very man (Mr, Palmer).
In NUT-SHELL i will want you to stand as the next of kin to Mr, Palmer,
so that we can get this money out from the Ecobank Nig Plc, into your
private bank account for safe-keeping pending my arrival for sharing in
your country.
It is very important you indicate your williness, so that i can send
across to you all the necessary TEXT FORM document from the bank also
talk on the issue of the sharing modalities as i have planned.
Please this deal is of REAL, SECRECY and 100%risk-free. Bear in mind
that we are concluding this deal between 28 working days which is from
the day of your positive response is being received. You are also
required to send across your private telephone and fax number for easy
communication and oral discussion, so as to avoid any delay.
I come again, you are to stand as the next of kin(Relation) to this
very
man (Mr, Palmer) for the claim of this huge amount ($18.580M).
Finally, 25% for your assistance, 50% for me, 5% for the re-settlement
of any expenses incured from both side while 20% will be invested in
the
name of your company and care.
Congratulations to you and your entire family.
