Dear,
Strictly Confidential
I am Dan Danjuma. I got your mail ID from the Yahoo Chat Room. I am contacting you for this proposal as a staff of Kata Bank of Nigeria Lagos - Nigeria. I am contacting you for a business that involves a huge sum of money from a dormant special deposit account. We have a dormant special deposit belonging to a foreign contractor to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, named Idris Hussein who died along with his wife during the Oil rich Niger Delta Communual clash.
He had a Special Deposit of US$14.8m (Fourteen Million Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with our Bank before his death. All my efforts to locate his true relations/next of kin, has proved abortive as he did not indicate such in all the official documents he tendered to Kata Bank.
The Money is about to be reverted back to the Bank's treasury, hence I solicit for your Assistance/permission to process all requisite documents in your favour by using your name as his legitimate next of kin/beneficiary to transfer this money into your account. All arrangement to legally make your name to suit as his next of kin and eventual beneficiary to the said deposit has been put in place.
Kindly furnish me with your contact details through my persnal email address[danjuma_ah2@yahoo.co.uk] to enable me discuss further with you and start up with the process immediately. If interested, send your bank details: Your bank name, address, telephone and fax numbers. Your personal details: Your real name, address, telephone and scanned copy of your international passport or Driving License for identification purposes.
I will introduce you to an Attorney (Lawyer) here, whom you will contact and inform about the transfer of the fund. He will then on your behalf get all the legal documents to legalize the transfer and you will be the legal beneficiary of the special deposit. The lawyer will act on your behalf from the beginning until the money gets into your nominated bank account.
The fund will be shared in this way, 35% for you, 65% for me and my colleagues. To get this money transferred, we have to pay the lawyer, pay for bank transfer charges, that is why we are mapping out 5% from the total money for expenses and this will be refunded from whoever provided the money before sharing according to the agreed percentage.
Please if you know you are not capable of handling such fund in your account and are not ready to see to the successful transfer of the money, don’t waste your precious time, just ignore the proposal. This is not a child's play, rather an opportunity that must be actualized and fulfilled by the grace of God.
To assure you of the reality of the transfer, the Certificate of Deposit the deceased has with our bank, the death certificate and my staff ID card is hereby attached.
This transaction is risk free on your part, strictly private and must be treated with utmost confidentiality for security reasons. The transfer will be concluded within 14 working days from the date of application of claim if you meet all the requirements from your side for the transfer to commence.
Hope to hear from you.
Best regards,
Dan Danjuma
