FROM THE DESK OF AUDIT MANAGER,
UNION BANK NIGERIA PLC,
MR. HENRY JOHN.
STALLION PLAZA LGS.
Dear Friend,
Compliment of the day and how is life general with you? Of course it is my
humble wish to solicit andcrave your indulgence to make this project request
fora joint business transaction which I hope will notcome to you as a
surprise, hence I plead foryour pardon.
I am Henry John,the Auditing and Accounting Unit,Foreign Operations
Department Union Bank Of Nig,PLC. I have an urgent and confidential
business proposal for you. On June 6, 1999, an Australlian oil
consultant/contractor with viaNational Petroleum cooperation (NNPC) Late
Engr. Steve Moore
made a numbered time (fixed) deposit for twelve calenderer month valued at
US$15.500.000.00 (Fiften Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) in my
branch. On maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarded address
but got no reply after months we send a reminder and finally we discovered
from his contract employee (Nigeria national petroleumCorporation) that Late
Engr.Steve Moore died from an automobile accident. On further investigation,
it was clear that he died without making a will.
All attempts by the Australian to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I
therefore made further investigation and discovered that Late Engr. Steve
Moore did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official
documents including his deposit document in my bank.The total sum of
US$15,500,000.00 is still in my bank as dormant acct. No one will ever come
forward to claim it. According to Nigerian banking law, after Six years, the
money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government. If the
account owner is certified death and nobody comes forward to claim it.
this is the situation ,and my proposal is that I am looking for a foreigner
who will stand in as the beneficiary/next of kin. This is simple. All you
have to do is to immediately send me an e-mail with your telephone contact,
and then after other imformation will be given to you ASAP.
After the transfer of the fund in your account,then we can then share the
fund in the ration of 60% for me 30% for you while the remaining 10% will be
set aside for expenses incurred within here and there. here is no risk
involved. I am using my position and connection in the bank here to do all
the documen twork for the
transaction.
We shall employ the services of at attorney to draft the will and
obtain all necessary documents and letter of administration in your fovour
for the transfer.
This transaction is risk free guaranteed. If you are interested, please
reply immediately confidentiality and be rest assured that this
transaction could be most profitable for both of us. Please do not expose
this deal if you are not interested because if you do, it will take me out
of seat.and for your interest to do this business with me kindly reply asap
and
call me.
I am awaiting your urgent reply.
Best Regards,
Mr. Henry John
