FROM THE DESK OF MR PAUL USENI
ACCOUNTANT OF CITIZENS INTERNATIONAL
BANK PLC (C.I.B),NIGERIA.
TELE:011234-8034300019.
Dear Friend,
I am an accountant of CITIZENS INTERNATIONAL BANK PLC (C.I.B)at foreign
remittance department . There is a business I would want you to champion
for me.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of ($45.5,000,000.00 U.S)
fourty five million Five Hundred Thousand US dollars) . In an account that
belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family
in november 2000 in a plane crash.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next
of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated
in our banking guidelines, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed
next of kin's or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving
nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my department
now decided to make this businness proposal to you and release the money
to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent
disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we dont want this money to
go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.The Banking law and guideline
here stipulates that if such money remained unclamed after five years, the
money will be transfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinable cannot stand
as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree that 35% of this money will be for
you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account,
20% for any charity organization in your country while 5% will be set aside
for expenses incured during the business and 40 % would be for me.
There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the
percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer of this
fund to you as arranged,you must apply first to the bank as relations or
next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account
number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication
and location where in the money will be remitted.
All modalities of this transaction have been carefully worked out and once
started will not take more than fourteen(7) working days, with your full
support. this transaction is 100% risk free.it involve no any inplication
and no any precaution there after.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text
of application which you will fill and send to the bank for immidiate claim.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free
and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements
have been made for the transfer.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
PAUL USENI.
