Subject: Hello
Hello
This is to seek your cooperation as my foreign partner and your
assistance to enable me own a property and invest in the stable economy
of your country.Accept my apologies if This mail does not suit your
personal or business ethics.
I am Mr.Emmanuel E. Enyinnia, a Banker in one of the leading
Commercial Banks here in Nigeria. I contacted you based on a mutual business
transaction that I would want us to handle in confidence and hope you can
understand the need for us to do this and for you to stand in for it.
One Mr. Morgan Hanson and his wife. died in a ghastly motor
accident while on a business trip on the 24th of August 2002.The said
couple had no children and was about 63years old before their death. He
never
identified with anybody as his relative and investigation made could not
trace any
relative to the late couple. Before his death, he has the sum of
$12,755,889.00 usd made from contracts he executed with Oil Companies here
in
Nigeria and the proceeds are with our Commercial Bank.
Few weeks ago, the Bank tried requesting that the next of kin to the
deceased
should come up to claim his fund deposited with our Bank. I
am the Manager in charge of unclaimed funds hence my contacting you to
stand in as the next of Kin. After much effort made to locate any of their
relation failed, I decided to contact you as to have you stand in as the
next of KIN to claim the fund so that the bank will not declare the account
dormant, freeze or confiscate the amount as they stated in the letter sent
to
my department.
If you can stand in, I assure you that this is risk free as
I will advise you on what to do to have this fund moved to your account
and we can agree on terms of sharing. All you have to do is to consent to
this by giving me the go ahead to have you presented to the Bank as the
next of kin through a lawyer. I will tell you how to get a lawyer but it has
to
be confidential who will apply and present you as the next of KIN.
AS soon as we make application, obtain the necessary
approval, the money will be paid through here or any of the banks payment
centre overseas. This will take us about 10 working days to conclude
depending on
how you respond to our correspondence If you are willing to stand in as the
next of Kin,send to me your full names, telephone numbers for us to discuss
and to brief you on the procedure that has to be taken to have this
transaction concluded within a short period of time.
Note that we will have to reach an agreement on the sharing
of the fund as you have to agree to give me my own share as soon as you
receive the money to your account.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Mr.Emmanuel E. Enyinnia
