UNION BANK OF NIGERIA PLC
LAGOS-NIGERIA.
Dear Friend,
I am Dr.Simon David, of Bills and Exchange at the foreign remitance
department of the Union Bank of Nigeria Plc. I am writing this letter to ask
for your suppport and co-operation to carry out this business opportunity in
my department.I discovered an abandoned sum of $20.565m(twenty million, five
hundred and sixty five thousand united states dollars only) in Account
Number 11008734290 status of account fixed deposit account, that belongs to
one of our foreign customer Mr.Lee won C.E.O.,WONG LEE CONSTRUCTION COMANY
NIGERIA LIMITED,Who died along with his entire family in November 2002 in a
plane crash. Since we got information about his death we can not release the
money unless somebody applies for it as the next of kin or relation to the
deceased.As indicated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately,neither the family members nor the relations have appeared to
claim this money.At this discovery,I decided to do business with you and
release the money to you as the next of kin or relation of the deceased for
safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I don't
want this money to go into the bank trasury as an unclaimed debt.The banking
law and guidelines of Union Bank of Nigeria Plc stipulates that if such
money remained unclaimed for a period of Six (6) years it will be transfered
into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund.the need for a foreigner as next of
kin in this siness is occasioned by the fact that the costomer was foreigner
and as a Nigerian cannot stand as his next of kin or heir.I agreed that 30%
of the money will be for you as foreign partner,thereafter I will visit your
country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated.
Therefore to enable the lmmediate transfer of the fund to you as
indicated.You must apply to the bank as relation or next of kin of the
deceased.Indicating your bank number an indicating where the money will be
remitted.Upon receipt of reply.I will send to you the text of application as
soon as you receive this letter you should reach me through my above e-mail
immediately and indicate this informations below:
1.Your full name and address
2.Your telephone and fax number for easy communication.
3.Your company's name and address.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by email, the Certificate of
Deposit and the application of Claim.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free
and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required
arrangements have been made for the movement of the money.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
