Subject: YOUR VALUED RESPONSE
Hello Dear
My name is BILL JONES, I am the operational
manager in account
section ,incharge of credit and foreign bills of one of
the prime banks here in NIGERIA. I am writing in
respect of a foreign customer of my bank (MR. ANDREAS
SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany) who perished with his
whole families on 25TH JULY,2002 CONCORDE PLANE CRASH
[ Flight AF4590 ] with the whole passengers aboard.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
There is an account opened in this bank in 2000 by
this great late
INDUSTRIALIST, who died without a written or oral WILL
attatched to the account.
Since his death , I personally have watched with keen
interest to see the next of kin but all has proved
abortive as no one has come to claim his funds and no
other person knows about this account or anything
concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary
and until his death he was the
manager of his company.
The total amount involved is $16,000,000.00 USD. [
Sixteen million United
States Dollar ].
I have secretly discussed this matter with the director foreign remittance
of my bank who I must involve in order to have
a smooth and a successful transfer of the fund to any
foreign bank account which you are going to
nominate.On this note, I decided to seek for a
reliable
foreigner who will act as the foreign beneficiary of
the fund from the deceased by providing his/her bank
account where the fund will be transferred into for
immediate investment on any viable
project as no one has come up to be the next of kin.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to
stay more than six
years without claim hence the money will be recalled
to the government treasury as unclaimed after this
long period of domancy.
In view of this I got your contact through our
foreign offshore financial centers to see if you can
assist by providing your safe bank account for the
transfer or find a reliable person who will be capable
of receiving such amount in his or her personal
account. At the conclussion of the transfer 65% of the
fund will be for us here, we would give you 20% of the
total transfer sum, 10% for charity both in Africa and
in your country while the remaining 5% will be set
aside to settle expenses both parties might incure
during the transfer process.
TO PROCEED, I would like you to send me the
information of any account of your choice where you
will like this fund to be transferred into.This
transaction is totally free of risk and trouble as the
fund is a legitimate fund which does not originate
from drug,money
laundry, terrorism or any other illegal act.Upon the
receipt of your reply, I will send to you a detailed
information about the transaction.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
business is 100% risk
and trouble free and that you should not entertain any
fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be
finalized within 7 to 9 banking days, after we apply
to the bank as the beneficiary of the fund from the
deceased.
Please send your private phone number for easy
communication.
Best regards,
BILL JONES
