Subject: good proposeal for you
Dear Good Frind
It is with trust and confidence that I make this urgent and important
proposal
to you in view of the fact that I supposed you are trust worthy and
reliable.
Currently I have a business that I think would be of interest to you and
your company.
I am the Manager, Western District Union Bank of Nig.Plc. I got your contact
through
an international forum attended by a friend of mine and went futher to
confirm it via
your country's business report.
However, there is an account opened in the bank in 1990 and since 2000, no
body has operated this account again. After careful investigation, I
discovered that the owner of this account was the President of GUNN FINANCE
PTY LTD, a Foreigner named Mr.John W.Clouson who died in 1999. The account
has no beneficiary at present and investigations proved that this company
does not know anything about the account. The total amount is US$2.5m (two
Million Five Hundred United States Dollars only).
In light of the above fact, I need your assistance in this rare opportunity
by providing your Bank account or any account of your choice where this fund
will be remitted. Your assistance as a Foreigner is necessary because the
management is ready to welcome anybody, preferably a
Foreigner who has the correct information of the account which I will give
you immediately
you express your interest and capability to conclude this transaction with
me.
Now that the management of the bank has ordered that all dormant accounts be
frozen, On
the strength of this order, I wish to take advantage of this situation and
present your
company as the next of kin and get it transferred to your designated
account.
Be informed that all documents related to this transaction will be destroyed
immediately
after the transfer, since every arrangement to transfer this fund to any
account you will
provide has been concluded.
Furthermore, on receiving your positive respo nse, I will apply for annual
leave for our
face to face meeting in your country for the sharing. I will give you 30% of
the total
fund for your assistance though the percentage is negotiable and I will not
contact any
other person until I am convinced that you are not interested.
Please reach me through my direct e-mail (adams_john9000@myway.com) address
for confidenciality indicating your
interest. This information is authentic and genuine and the transaction will
only last
for 8 bank-working days, so do comply urgently
Best Regards,
Mr adams john
