Subject: Funds Transfer
Top of the day to you.
I am Mr.Danladi Boro a Banker in one of the leading Commercial Banks here in
Nigeria.I contacted you based on a mutual business transaction that I would
want us to handle in confidence and hope you can understand the need for us
to do this and for you to stand in for it. My client and his wife. died in
a ghastly motor accident while on a business trip on the 24th of August
2002.
The said couple had no children and was about 71 years old before their
death. He never identified with anybody as his relative and investigation
made could not trace any relative to the late couple. Before his death, he
has the sum of $78,545,652.oo usd made from contracts he executed with Oil
Companies here in Nigeria and the proceeds are with our
Commercial Bank .
Few weeks ago, the Bank tried requesting that the next of KIN to the
deceased should come up to claim his fund deposited with our Bank.I am the
Manager in charge of unclaimed funds hence my contacting you to stand in as
the next of Kin. After much effort has been made ,I decided to contact you
as to have you stand in as the next of KIN to claim the fund so that the
bank will not declare the account dormant , freeze or confiscate the amount
as they stated in the letter sent to my Department Of which I will fax to
you.
If you can stand in,I assure you that this is risk free as I will advise you
on what to do to have this fund moved to your account and we can agree on
terms of sharing. All you have to do is to consent to this by giving me the
go ahead to have you presented to the Bank as the next of kin through a
lawyer.I will tell you how to get a lawyer but it has to be confidential who
will apply and present you as the next of KIN.
AS soon as we make application, obtain the necessary approval, the money
will be paid through here or any of the banks payment centre Overseas.This
will take us about 10 working days to conclude depending on how you respond
to our correspondence If you are willing to stand in as the next of Kin
,send to me your full names ,telephone and fax numbers for us to discuss and
for me to send to you the last letter the Bank sent to my department
requesting me to look for the next of kin to the late couple and too,for me
to brief you on the procedure that has to be taken to have this transaction
concluded within a short period of time.
Note that we will have to reach an agreement on the shearing of the fund as
you have to agree to give me my own share as soon as you receive the money
to your account.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Danladi Boro
