Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.
Dear Friend,
I am Dr. John Anyadiegwu, Assistant Deputy Director, Credit and Control with
the International Trust Bank Plc. I was personal account manager to one late
{Engineer Newman} 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 2002, Engr. Newman, 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,
Newman 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 on my adderss email;johnanyadiegwu3@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;johnanyadiegwu3@yahoo.com}
Kind regards,
Dr. John Anyadiegwu.
