Dear Friend,
I am Mr Michael Kush the head of auditing and accounting section of principle
partner & association nigerian industry in West Africa with due respect
and regard.I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that
will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction .
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across
a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on 26th
December 2004 in Tsunami that happened in Sumatra island, swittzerland.
From the information that our bank have gotten so far, the {TSUNAMI DISASTER)http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2004/tsunami.diaster/
killed him with his entire family and no none relation have been identified.
The person that he used as his next of kin was his 17 year old son who died
along side with the family.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself to enable
the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of
execution. The said amount was (U.S$9.5M UNITED STATES
DOLLARS).
Mean while all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the
bonified next of kin to the deceased,get the required approval and transfer
this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and
needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest
and willingness to assist me and also benefit your self to this great business
opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in
this country as a civil servant(A Banker Of Stb Plc},we are not allowed
to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my
side during the time of transfer, because I work in this bank. This is the
actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward
claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to the Bank and
also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred
into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification
by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted
from to your own designation bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On
smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 70% of the
total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills,
while 20% will be for me.Please, you have been adviced to keep it as a "top
secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after
I conclude this deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm
the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent
sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further
investment, either in your country or any country you advice me to invest
in. All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from
you.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Michael Kush
