Dear Friend,
Compliment of the seasons!
Permit me to introduce myself, my name is Mr.fara Mark, I work with Golf
Bank Nig. Plc as an Accountant. In the discharge of my duty, I came on this
domiciliary account that has remained dormant for some years now with our
bank valued the sum of US$5,500.000.00 (Five Million, five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars) I made some enquiries and discovered that the account
holder died on the 2nd of november 1999 with his wife and their two Children
died in an Auto crash along Lagos badagry Expressway, Lagos-Nigeria.
I am writing you so that we can work together to remit the money to you as
the next of kin because this money belong to a foreigner and has to be claim
by a foreigner. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money
left behind by the deceased before they get declared
unserviceable by the Bank where this huge Deposit was lodged. The Bank has
issued me a notice as the Accountant to the Deceased to provide the Next of
Kin or have the fund declared as an UNCLAIMED FUND within the Next 15
official working days.Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over 4years now that I have been searching. I seek your
consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are a
foreigner like him so that the proceeds of this Bank Account can be paid out
in your favor. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.
I guarantee this transaction under a legitimate arrangement that will not
breach the law by both parties; it is simple process which will take a short
while to process. I have all the necessary Legal Documents that will be used
to back up any claim we are going to make. All I require is your honest
cooperation to enable us see this deal through.Please acknowledge receipt of
this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavor by furnishing me
with the following;
1. Your Full Names and Address.
2. Your Age.
3. Direct Telephone and Fax numbers.
4. Your Occupation
These requirements will enable us file a letter of claim to the appropriate
departments for necessary approvals in your favour before the transfer can
be made. You will be compensated with 35% of the total fund on final
conclusion of this project, while the rest shall be for me. Your share stays
with you while the rest shall be for us for investment purposes in your
country.
I wait for your urgent reply so that we can proceed with the proper
documentation of the transfer to your favour through legal processes.All
replies should come through
