YOUR ATTENTION PLS.
My name is Beke wetaego, manager African Development Bank. I am pleased to
inform you about my interest to use your Bank account for a deposit of
$17.5Milliom with the Bank. It may surprise you,but just give me your
attention pls.
An AMERICAN Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National petroleum
Corporation, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar
months,valued at US$17,500,000.00 (Seventeen Million Five hundred thousand
Dollars)with African Development Bank since the year 2000. Ever since then,
a routine notification has been sent several times to him, without reply.
In 2003, I discovered from his contract employee, the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation that my client is dead. Unfortunately, was a victim of
the AF4590 German Concorde plane that crashed in France. Check the
site:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm. On further
investigation the entire family was in the plane, and no declaretion of
inheritance on the deposit made to the Bank, as he intend to invest in ASIA.
I have made several research since 2003 till December last year, to reach
any of his relation or family member for claim, without success, and the
management of the African Development Bank is planning to confiscate the
fund by the end of this month quarter, since the interest is being rolled
over with the principal sum for many years.
I want you to stand in as the next of Kin to the deceased since you bear the
same surname with him,for us to save the fruits of the old man's labour
before it get to the hands of some corrupt selfish officials of the
government,whose interest is to confiscate this fund within 14 days from
tomorrow.
As soon as you consent to this request, I will immediately employ the
service of a lawyer to notarize the WILL and obtain the necessary documents
and letter of probate/administration in your favor of you for the transfer
of the fund to your Bank account.
You will receive; 45% of the total sum as compensation, base on your good
intention to help me secure the fund in your account. I would also like to
use 5% of the fund to rasie a reputable charity home or Foundation in the
name of the deceased. My position here as the Branch Manager guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction.
Looking forward to your urgent anticipation to this offer.
Regards
Beke Wetaego
