FROM MR. MONDAY ERNEST
UNION BANK NIG PLC
VICTORIA ISLAND LAGOS STATE
EMAIL : monday_ernest@mailpanda.com
Dearest friend
With due respect and huminity, I write to you this proposal.I am the manager
of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of Union Bank of
Nig. PLc By faith make me believe that you will not betray the trust I am
about to impose on you regard to this transaction.And
I believe with your capability and reliability to champion this business
opportunity.
In my department, I discovered an abandoned sum of $10.6 million us dollars
in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along
with his entire family in
November 2001 in aplane crash.
Since we got information about his death , we have been expecting his next
of kin to come forward and claim his money because we cannot release his
money unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the
deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and policies but
unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died
alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claims.
Therefore upon this discovery In my department I decided to make this
businness proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or
relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody
is coming
forth and I don´t want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed
Bill.
According to our Banking policies and guideline here which stipulates that
if such money remained unclaimed after six years, the money will
automatically be transfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand as
next of kin to a foreigner. I agree that 30 % of this money will be for you
as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account,
10% will be for reimbursement of any expenses incured during the curse of
the transaction and 60 % would be for me also to exterblish Investment in a
lucrative venture that will be profitable for our mutual benefit.
Thereafter I will visit your country for disbursement according to the
ercentagesindicated.Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund
to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of
kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account
number, your private telephone and fax number for easier and effective
communication and location where the money will be remitted . upon receipt
of your call, I will send to you by fax or
email the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice
that this transaction is hitch free and you should not entertain any atom of
fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer . Please
kindly indicate your intrest to assist over this transaction by contact me
via email after going through the message,this is my alternative email
address monday_ernest@mailpanda for more details and clarification on how to
forge ahead immediately.
Waiting to hear from you.
Thanks and remain blessed,
Your´s faithfully,
Mr Monday Ernest
