Dear Friend
I am Mr.Johnson Coker,a financial controller with Union BANK NIG Plc.I am the accountant in charge of Rodney Ford's account,who used to work with a Multi National oil firm(Summit Oil)in Nigeria.Here after shall be referred to as my client,On April 21, 1999, my client, his wife,and their three children were involved in a car accident along Sagamu expressway Lagos.all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives Since then i have made several inquiries to there embassy here in Nigeria as directed by the bank to locate any of my clients extended relatives as he did not leave any document to this effect,all these and other efforts so far made have proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to trace any member of his family hence this contact to you.I am making this contact to solicit your co-operation and assistance in repatriating the money left behind by my client before my bank Union Bank (Nig) Plc includes it as part of thier reserved capital receipt in thier uncliamed accumulated dividends revenue as the bank directors has issued me an ultimatum to provide his next of kin within this fiscal year or have the account declares as such.But this is not their real motive as similar accounts that had been so declared were soon diverted to their personal accounts for their selfish uses.Since all my efforts in locating his relatives this past years has proved abortive hence my resolve to seek your consent inother to present you as his next of kin so that the proceeds of this account valued at($22.5 million US Dollars) can be released to your nominated account for use in areas that will benefit mankind and the poo!
r in the
society as this is one area that is so dear to my late client.Also your efforts will be compesated at the end of the transfer.
All I require is your honest cooperation and financial assistance to enable us cliam this fund into your norminated account for use in better areas where my late client will be proud of if alive.I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me by my email for more details if you are interested.
Best regards
Mr.Johnson Coker
