Subject: Dear Sir / Madam
FROM: DR.OWO HARRISON,
ROYAL TRUST BANK PLC,
Dear Sir / Madam
I sincerely write to seek your co-operation and trust to enable us carry
out an urgent business Opportunity in my department. I work with the ROYAL
TRUST BANK PLC,NIGERIA currently I am in charge of bills and exchange at
the foreign remittance department of my bank. I was the account officer to
one Mr. & Mrs. RICHARDSON who worked with Chevron Oil company ,Who died along
with his wife in the December 25th, 2003 Air Crash in Benin Republic.
He left in his domiciliary account the total sum of $15.5 million (Fifteen
million five hundred thousand USA Dollars). Since the management got the
information of his death we have been expecting any of his relation or his
next of kin to come up and claim his money. Unfortunately from the day of
his death till the time of this letter none of his relation or friends has
come up for the claim. The banking and financial law of ROYAL TRUST BANK
PLC NIGERIA stipulates that if such fund remained unclaimed after a period
of thirty six months it will be lost to the bank as unclaimed deposit.
On this note, I now decided to do business with you and release the money
to you as the next of kin to the deceased for subsequent disbursement among
us.I will soon proceed for my retirement leave, and I personally do not want
this fund to be lost to the bank. That is why I wanted the fund to be move
out of the bank before I proceed on my retirement from the banking services.The
need for a foreigner as next of kin in this project is occasioned by the
fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Blenniod will not perfectly
fit in as his next of kin or heir, thereafter I will visit your country for
disbursement according to the percentages indicated.To enable the immediate
transfer of the fund into your nominated account,you would have to fill the
bank application form for such claim as the next of kin to the deceased.
There you will designate your bank account where the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your mail indicating your interest, I will send to you acopy
of the application form and the Account/ Deceased information you would need
to fill it. Send your direct Fax and telephone numbers for effective communication
that this transaction needs.Please note that you are not to appear in person,
as every thing regarding this project will be strictly handled by a lawyer
and every banking documents needed for this transaction will be taken care
of by lawyer.
