Dear,
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL URGENT BUSINESS.
I am DR GOODLUCK IBEH, Treasury director with Fidelity Bank Nigeria Plc,
Lagos-Nigeria.
I got your contact from a close Associate of mine who works with the
Nigerian
Chamber of Commerce and Industry upon my quest for a trusted and reliable
foreign business man/woman or company.
PROPOSITION:
A German Mr. David Jain, 70 years of age and who was based in
Nigeria as a contractor had in our Bank the sum of US$20Million in a
domiciliary
account. He named his wife, Mrs. Helga David as the next of kin.
Unfortunately,
two of them were killed in the plane crash involving concord AF4590 in
Gonesse,
France. Effort had been made by the management of my Bank through the German
Embassy in Lagos to contact any of the deceased children but to no avail,
as we were made to understand that the couple had no child owing to the
skeletal information available to the bank, it has so far been impossible
to reach any of the
relatives. The option left for the bank management is to declare the
deceased
account dormant and revert the funds to trading on behalf of and in the
interest of the Bank.
In order to avoid this development, my Colleagues and I now seek your
permission
to have you stand as a distant relative to Mr. and Mrs. David Jain, so that
the funds would be released to you. All documents and proofs to enable you
get the funds will be carefully worked out on our receiving your consent
to this proposal, we would immediately obtain for an order of mandamus from
the Federal High court of Justice on your behalf recognizing you as a
bona-fide
relative to the deceased and subsequently apply for the release of the funds
to you as the beneficiary, through the Central Bank Of Nigeria.
May I assure you that this Transaction is 100% risk-free, as we have taken
care of all necessary modalities to ensure a hitch-free transaction. To
this effect my colleagues and I have agreed to compensate you with 30% of
the total sum of US$20Million for your kind assistance i.e. provision of
a nominated Foreign Bank Account to accommodate the fund for me. While i
will take 60%,then the remaining 10% will be used to settle any expences
that any of us might make at the process of securing this fund.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, please contact me strictly
through my E-mail: g_ibehh@yahoo.com
THANKS
GOODLUCK IBEH
