From The Desk of Femi Babalola
Deputy General Manager Risk Management Division
Intercontinetal Bank Plc
Dear,
I am Femi Babalola,Deputy General Manager Risk Management Division of the
intercontinental bank plc here in Nigeria, vesered in Domestic Operations,
Credit and International Operations.I am writing following the impressive
information about you through an internet geonological research .
In my department , we discovered a long term deposited fund of { $15, 000
000 m } fifteen million united states dollars in an account which belong to
a foriegn customer Dr Evan Harris who died along side with his nuclear
family in a car accident in January 27th 2004 Hertfordshire in England.
Since the bank management received the information about his death . The
management have been expecting his next of kin to come over for his or her
claim as the huge fund can not be release unless somebody applies for it
legally as the beneficiary / next of kin to the deceased / fund as indicated
in our banking guide . Unfurtunately all efforts to locate the next of kin
to the deceased by the bank management proved abortive .
Now as the personal accountant to the deceased , after much official enquiry
/ verification through the deposit files of the deceased , i was able to
realise that his supposed next of kin died along side with him at the car
accident in January 5th 2004 .
The banking law and guideline act 00.02 of the foreign beneficiary fund
release stipulates that such fund remain uncliamed after the exsisting
period of four years , as the fund shall be automatically transfered into
the national treasury account as uncliamed bill . As the personal accountant
to the deceased , i therefor decide to make business with you by releasing
the fund { $15 , 000 000 m } to you as the next of kin to the deceased for
safe keeping of the fund / subsequent disbursement as i do not want the fund
to be transfered into the national treasury as unclaimed fund .
We have agreed to share 60% of the total amount for me and my collegues, 30%
for you as the beneficiary, while 10% for any expenses spent from the both
parties.
Note : This transaction is 100% risk free as i have all requisite
information / documents which shall aid the total accomplishment of this
fund repatriation into your personal account as the beneficiary to the
deceased . Upon the confirmation of your positive response , i shall send to
you by mail the commencement step , full information of the bank and that
of the deceased for instant inception of this transaction .
Please get in touch with me (femideputy_intercontinetalbank@yahoo.com)
I look forward to your positive response.
Regards .
Femi Babalola
Deputy General Manager Risk Management Division.
