Subject: From Mr OGE BROWN
Dear: Friend
Good day!
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings, and I
hope this mail meets you in good time. However strange or
surprising this contact might seem to you, as we have not met
personally or had any dealings in the past, I humbly ask that
you take due consideration of its importance and immense
benefit.I must apologize to you for using this medium to
communicate to you about this project. I am sorry if this
letter comes to you as an embarrassmentbut be rest Assured
that your particulars of contact was given to me after a good
of mine who work with the Nigeria champers of commerce, for
reliable and capable foreigner that will handle Confidentially
a transfer of huge sum of money,from union bank of Nigeria
plc, to a foreign bank account.
I am Mr. OGE BROWN an African born Nigerian citizen and
account officer to Late ENGR. SUNNY ZHONG, a foreign
nationality, who used to work with JULIUS BERGER NIGERIA PLC/
in Nigeria. On 19th August 2002, our late customer ENGR. SUNNY
ZHONG was involved in a ghastly motor accident with his family
northwards to Leeds during which he lost his life with his
wife and two Children.
Unfortunately, since we got the information about his sudden
death and the ugly incident that occurred, the management of
my bank made several enquiries no Locating any of his extended
relatives who can stand as his Next of Kin to inherit an
estate he left behind in our custody but all these several
efforts also proved unsuccessful and yielded no Results.
As his personal account officer/mentor, I also madeconcerted
efforts aimed at locating a possible Next of Kin to my
deceased client. What I actually want to do is to present you
to my bank as a Next of Kin to the deceased Client of mine to
enable us place claims on a total sum of(US$18.5,000.00), he
deposited in my good bank for safe keeping before his untimely
death.
I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the stated sum
he left behind before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank.This intension becomes very urgent
due to the fact that the banking laws and policy here in
Nigeria stipulates and provides that if such funds remains
unclaimed after five years, that the Bank is legally empowered
to freeze such accounts and the fund transferred into the
Federal Reserve Account as unclaimed Fund. Recently the Union
Bank Nigeria Plc issued a notice of confiscation, as the
account had remained unserviceable since 2001,
I was subsequently given a mandate of 21 official Banking days
to produce a Next of Kin to the deceased or consider the
Account frozen. Due to time constrain and the fact that I was
unsuccessful in locating any relative to my Client,I then wish
to seek your Consent to present you as the Next of kin to the
deceased client of mine. So that the proceeds of this account
valued at (US$18.5,000.00)can be released through you for our
general benefit instead of allowing his sweat get lost in the
Bank.
Be informed that I have in my possession all necessary
information that we shall require to back-up our claims. I
shall furnish you with further details as soon as you have
indicated your interest to render the desired assistance.Bear
in mine that 50% of the fund is for me why 40% is for you and
10% is for tax and other things that will come up doing the
transaction.
Feel free to contact me on my private email address stated as
follows, (mrogebrown1@yahoo.fr) to enable us commence
actions on this deal instantly. Your genuine/honest
cooperation is required to enable us achieve this purpose;
I guarantee that the entire transaction will be executed under
a legitimate arrangements.
Thanks
Yours truly,
Mr OGE BROWN
