Subject: Your reply means alot
FROM:MR.KENNEDY MAMBO,
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECT,
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
ROYAL TRUST BANK PLC.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am MR KENNEDY MAMBO, the director in charge of
auditing and accounting section of Royal Trust Bank Plc
Nigeria with due respect and regard. I have decided
to contact you on a business transaction that will be
very beneficial to both of us at the end of the said
transaction .
During investigation and auditing of this
account, my department came across a very huge sum of
money belonging to a deceased customer who died in
november 1997 plane crash and the account has been
dormant with this Bank without any claim to the fund
in our custody either from his family or relations
before our discovery.
Although personally,I keep this information as
top secret to enable the whole plans and idea be
profitable and successful during the course of
execution. The said amount was us$15.5M (Fifteen
million five hundred thousand united states dollars).
As it may interest you to know, I got your
impressive information through the international
consultant chamber of commerce,organisations,diplomatic
missions and individuals here in Nigeria where I was
seaching for a good reliable contact to do this
business with.I was elated when I saw your address
before proposing the business to you.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put
claims over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to
the deceased,the required approval and transfer of
this money to a foreign account has been put in place.
Other directives and needed information will be
relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest
and willingness to assist and also benefit your
self to this great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but
the need for a foreigner as next of kin in this project
is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a
foreigner and a Blenniod will not perfectly fit in as
his next of kin or heir and would eventually raise an
eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because
I work in this same bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second
party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin to
the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will
need the money to be transferred into on his/her request as
it may be after due verification and clarification by the
correspondent branch of the bank,where the whole money
will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this
transaction is 100% risk free.You have been
adviced to keep top secret as I am still in service
and intend to retire from service after I conclude
this transaction with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here
in the bank until you confirm the money in your
account.Which I will eventually come down to your
country for the sharing of the fund according to the
specified percentage as agreed on.
All other necessary information will be sent
to you when I hear from you.Stating your interest in this
transaction.
Reply me via my private email : kennedy_mambo@hotmail.co.uk
Best Regard,
KENNEDY MAMBO.
