Subject: YOUR HONEST ASSISTANCE NEEDED.
>From the Desk of:Mr.Ahmeed Musa(GM, Corporate and Investment
Banking Division)Union Bank of Nigeria Plc.
Dear Sir/Ma,
My name is Mr.Ahmeed Musa, General Manager, Corporate and Investment Banking Division) with Union Bank of Nigeria Plc, Lagos,Nigeria. I came to know about you in my private search for a reliable person/company to handle a confidential transaction on behalf of my Colleagues and myself. As a matter of fact, I got your information from the Nigerian Chamber of Commerce and Industry/Nigerian Export Promotion Council.
l write in respect of a foreign customer with A/C Number: 14-2558-2004, who unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of German Concorde Airlines Flight AF4590 which crashed on July 31- 2000, including his wife and only daughter leaving nobody to claim the money.
You shall read more news about the crash on visiting this
site:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
(MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich,Germany) a great industrialist,who died along with his entire family in July 2000 in a plane crash.
Since the death of this our customer MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER, I have kept a close monitoring of the deposit records and accounts since then.
Nobody has come forward to claim the money in this A/C as next of kin to the late MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER. The total amount in the account US$17.5 million and it is a domiciliary escrow bank account. It is only an insider, the account owner or a next of kin who has information about the account that could produce the Code or password of the deposit particulars.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.As it stands now, there is nobody in the position to produce the needed information other than my very self-considering my position in the bank.
Based on the fact that Mr.Andreas's family perished in the same flight accident, leaving no one to put claim of the deposit as the next of kin, so I am seeking for your co-operation to present you as the NEXT OF KIN to late MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER, and arrange for the release of the funds to your nominated bank account for our mutual benefit.
If there is more delay in moving this money out, this money will be pushed to the Treasury of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
I am willing to share this money with you in the ratio of 70-30%.You shall have 30% of the funds and I shall share the rest with my partners at the bank. I hope this is a fair sharing?
I look forward to hearing from you urgently so that we can proceed accordingly.I wait for your urgent response.
Thanks and Regards.
Ahmeed Musa.
(GM,Corporate and Investment
Banking Division).
