CITIZEN BANK INTERNATIONAL,
LAGOS/NIGERIA
NO 54 IKOYI LAGOS
DEAR AMBER,
REQUEST FOR CO-OPERATION ON A PRIVATE BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
Every four years, Nigeria Banks transfer to its treasury Millions of Dollars of unclaimed Deceased Depositors Funds, in compliance with the Banking Laws and Guidelines. In the majority of cases,with reference to my CITIZEN BANK INTERNATIONAL. The money normally runs into several millions of dollars. Until DR.BEN AMBER death along with his wife, Doris, their two children, Micheal and Ann in a private jet plane crash. I was his foreign currency denoted Bank Account Manager with constant balance in excess of eight digits. Ever since his death and up till this time of writing, no next of kin or relation of his has come forward to claim his money with us.
Naturally, as long as late DR.BEN AMBER, money remains unclaimed, the bank remains richer in free funds with his money.However, with my being in direct charge of Bills and Exchange in the foreign Remittance Department of my bank, I am in position to cause the
payment of this money to whosoever that present himself as the next of kin or relation of the late DR.BEN AMBER' on private business deal basis.
Now the game plan and the purpose of writing to you exclusively having been highly recommended as the right and proper person
to handle this deal by a Management Consultant friend of mine, who
has traveled widely, including your country is that I want to pull
out this unclaimed money amounting to $7,500,000:00 (Seven
Million, Five Hundred United States Dollars) with your co-operation and assistance by just doing the following:
(a) Act as next of kin or relation of late DR.BEN AMBER.
(b) Provide your bank account and location where you
want the money remitted .
(c) Provide your direct and private Telephone/Fax numbers for effective communication.
For your co-operation and efforts, 40% of the money will be for you as my foreign partner,10% for settlement of all expenses that might be incurred on the course of this transaction, while 50%will be for myself that will eventually visit your country for disbursement of the fund.
Looking forward to a mutual and beneficial business
relationship.
RegardS,
DR.PEDRO WILLIANS.
