Subject: HOW ARE YOU
>From the Desk of: Mr.Babayo Saidu
{GM, Corporate & Investment Banking}
Chartered Bank Plc, Nigeria.
E-mail:babayosaidu2@ukrpost.net
Dear Friend,
Permit me to introduce myself to you. My name is Mr.Babayo Saidu, GM,
Corporate & Investment Banking with Chartered Bank Plc,
Nigeria.Lagos-Nigeria. This letter may come to you as a surprise since it is
coming
from someone you have not met before and due to high volume of Spam mail
that goes around the world through this means but I have no other choice
than to send it to you through the internet means, Therefore, I will
appreciate it if you honor it and give me all your trust and full
co-operation. 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 contact from the world trade center
(WTC) Regional office in Lagos, Nigeria.Although the details of my
intention was not made known to them. Proposition
A America Mr. Morris Thompson who is an America Oil
consultant/contractor with NNPC had in our Bank the sum of US$13.m in a
domiciliary
account Number:14-2558-2004,who unfortunately lost his life in the plane
crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31 2000,
including his wife and only daughter leaving nobody to claim the money. He
named his wife, as the next of kin. Unfortunately, two of them died in
a plane crash you can confirm it yourself via website :
site;http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
Efforts had been made by the management of my Bank through the American
Embassy in Lagos to contact any of the deceased children but to no
avail, as we were made to understand that the couple had no children. Given
the skeletal information available to the Bank, it has so far been
impossible to reach any of the relatives. The option left for the Bank
management
is to declare the deceased account dormant and revert the funds to
trading
on behalf of and in the interest of the Bank.
In Nigeria, and almost all other parts of African continent, when Banks
acquire funds such as that of Mr. Morris Thompson, they are required
by law to donate 30% of the funds on acquisition to The Trust Fund For
Arms And Ammunitions. Arms and ammunitions purchased with funds from the
Trust Fund are used to further enhance the course of war in Africa and
invariably turbulence of some sort in the world in general. It is
therefore in order to avoid/avert and discourage this negative development
that my Colleagues and I now seek your assistance to have you stand as a
distant relative {Next Of Kin} to Mr. Morris Thompson, so that the
funds would be released to you. All documents and proofs to enable you get
the funds will be carefully packaged once we receive your consent on
this proposal. May I ssured you that this Transaction is 100% safe and
risk-free, as we have taken care of all necessary modalities to ensure a
hitch-free transaction. I have the authority of my pa rtners i!
nvolved in this transaction to propose that should you be willing to
assist us in the transaction your share would be 40% of the
US$13.million, 60% for us. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that
you
will not disappoint me.
Best Regards.
Mr.Babayo Saidu
{GM, Corporate & Investment Banking}.
