ATTN;THE PRESIDENT/CEO,
MY NAME IS ADAM OZIGI ,DEPUTY MANAGING DIRECTOR OF COMMERCIAL BANK OF AFRICA. I AM WRITING IN RESPECT OF A FOREIGN CUSTOMER MR.(HYEWON NAM) OF MY BANK WITH ACCOUNT NUMBER 14-255-2004/UTB/T WHO PERISHED WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY(HIS WIFE AND THE ONLY SON) IN A PLAN CRASH (KOREAN AIR FLIGHT 801) WITH THE WHOLE PASSENGERS ABOARD ON AUGUST 6, 1997. SINCE THE DEMISE OF THIS OUR CUSTOMER, THE MANAGEMENT OF COMMERCIAL BANK OF AFRICA HAS MADE VALUABLE EFFORTS WHICH I AM THE DEPUTY MANAGING DIRECTOR IN CHARGE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ANY OF THE LATE CUSTOMER'S NEXT- OF -KIN OR RELATIVE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD BUT UNFORTUNATELY, ALL OUR EFFORTS DID NOT YIELD ANY POSITIVE RESULTS AS NO ONE HAS COME TO CLAIM HIS FUND TO THE TUNE OF EIGHTEEN MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS WHICH HAS BEEN WITH MY BRANCH FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
RECENTLY, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA HAS DIRECTED OUR BANK (COMMERCIAL BANK OF AFFRICA) THAT ALL LATE FOREIGN CUSTOMERS FUND NOT CLAIM (WHICH HAS EXCEEDED THE STIPULATED BANKING PERIOD) SHOULD BE CONFISCATED TO THE FEDERAL TREASURY'' BECAUSE THE BANKING ETHICS HERE DOES NOT ALLOW SUCH MONEY TO STAY MORE THAN SIX YEARS THAT MEANS THAT THIS MONEY WILL RECALLED TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TREASURY AS UNCLAIMED AFTER THIS PERIOD.ON THIS NOTE,THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE BANK CALLED ME AND TOLD ME IN CONFIDENCE AND TRUST TO SOURCE FOR A RELIABLE FOREIGNER WHO WOULD STAND AS OUR FOREIGN CUSTOMER'S NEXT OF KIN.
WE (MYSELF AND THE CHAIRMAN) HAVE REASONED THAT IF WE FAIL TO COLLECT THS MONEY THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT WILL CONFISCATE IT AND SOMEONE ELSE WILL END UP LOOTING IT. HENCE, WE HAVE DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU AS A RELIABLE FOREIGNER TO STAND AS NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED CUSTOMER TO CLAIM THE TOTAL FUND FROM THE LATE CUSTOMER'S ACCOUNT WITH THE BANK, SO THAT THE PROCEEDS OF HIS ACCOUNT CAN BE PAID TO YOU.
I AM ASSURING YOU THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS RISK FREE AND YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE THE PERCENTAGE-SHARING RATE AFTER THE MONEY HAS BEEN TRANSFERED TO YOUR ACCOUNT.
UPON THE RECEIPT OF YOUR RESPONSE, I WILL SEND YOU BY EMAIL THE NOTIFICATION/APPLICATION WHICH YOU WILL SEND TO THE BANK BY FAX AND THE NEXT STEP TO TAKE. I WILL NOT FAIL TO BRING TO YOUR NOTICE THAT THIS BUSINESS IS HITCH FREE AND THAT YOU SHOULD NOT ENTERTAIN ANY FEAR AS ALL MODALITIES FOR FUND TRANSFER CAN BE FINALIZED WITHIN FIVE BANKING DAYS.
WHEN YOU RECEIVE THIS LETTER , KINDLY SEND ME AN EMAIL OR CALL ME ON THIS TELEPHONE NUMBERS;234-8028311032 SIGNIFYING YOUR DECISION INCLUDING YOUR TEL/FAX NUMBERS FOR QUICK COMMUNICATION. I QUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL BE EXECUTED UNDER A LEGITIMATE ARRANGEMENT THAT WILL PROTECT YOU FROM ANY BREACH OF THE LAW.
I AWAIT YOUR REPLY .
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED
MR. ADAM OZIGI
NB; YOU SHOULD NOT ALLOW THE BANK MANAGEMENT TO KNOW THAT WE (MYSELF AND THE CHAIRMAN) ARE INVOLVED IN THIS TRANSACTION AS WE WILL NOT WANT ANYTHING THAT WILL GEOPARDISE OUR GOOD REPUTATION IN THE BANK.
THANKS A LOT
