Dear randshuizen
I am Mr. Alex Chiromah, Divisional Head, Foreign Operations Office with the International Trust Bank Plc. I was personal account manager to one late Engineer Walter randshuizen, of your country, who till his death was a contractor with Impressario Nigeria Limited, Moenier Oil & Gas Consult and Nigerian Ports authority.
On the 28th of November 1999, Engr. walter, his wife and their two children were involved in a car accident along Gwagwalada express road and all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
At the time of his death, Walter had a deposit of $15.6 Million which was proceed of a contract work he just concluded with the Nigerian Ports authority. The payment was made with an Ecobank cheque which I personally cleared. Unfortunately, till this moment no one has come as his relation for his deposit with us. My colleagues and I humbly request your attention to this matter so that we can present you as his next of kin or beneficiary to his deposit. It is not a very difficult thing to do especially as you share the same last name with him and it will not take time too.
All we need is to change the name and particulars of his next of kin to yours in our computer database and we file in an application for the release of the fund through the Probate Office in your name. It does not necessarilly mean that you must be here to conclude the deal,
we may request that the money be sent to Europe or even the United States for payment. Please contact me as quickly as possible email;alexchiromah104@yahoo.com, We will talk about the
sharing ratio as soon as you get in touch with me.
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE GIVEN EMAIL ADDRESS
ie;alexchiromah104@yahoo.com
Kind regards,
Alex Chiromah.
