Dear Sir/Madam,
Permit me to use this wonderful oppurtunity to introduce to you a lucrative
business proposal hoping that you are a reliable and honest person who will
be capable for this important business.
I am Barrister Ibrahim Usman,a consulting auditor of prime banks here in
Nigeria. On June 6,1998,an American Mining consultant/contractor with the
Nigeria Mining corporation, Mr.Gregory A.Williams made a numbered time
(fixed)deposit for twelve calendar months,value U S$20,200,000.00 an
account.
On maturity, The bank sent a routine notification to his forwarding address
but got no reply.
After a month,The bank sent another reminder and finally his contract
employers,the Nigeria Mining corporation wrote to inform the bank that
Mr.Gregory A.Williams died from an automobile accident,that he died without
MAKING A WILL, and all attempts by the American Embassy to trace his next of
king was fruitless.
therefore, made further investigation and discovered that Mr.Gregory
A.Williams in fact was an immigrant from Jamaica and only recently obtained
American citizenship.
He did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents,
including his Bank deposit paper work. This money total U S $ 20,200,000.00
is still sitting in my bank as dormant Account. No one will ever come
forward to claim it, and according to Nigeria banking policy,after 5 years,
the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigeria Government if the
account owner is certified dead.
This is the situation, and my proposal is that I am looking for a foreigner
who will stand in as the next of kin to Mr.Gregory A.Williams,and a Bank
Account abroad will then facilitate the transfer of this money to the
beneficiary/ next of kin.
This is simple, all you have to do is to immediately send me a bank account
anywhere in the world for me to arrange the proper money transfer paperwork.
This money total USD ($20.2M) will then be paid into this Account for us to
share in the ratio of 70% for me, 25 % for you and 5%for expenses that might
come up during transfer process.
There is no risk at all, and all the paper work for this transaction will be
done by me using my position and connection in the banks in Nigeria.This
business transaction is guaranteed.
If you are interested, please reply immediately through my personal email
sending the following details: personal email sending the following details:
(1) Your Full Name/Address And Your country
(2) Your Full Account Details
(3) Your Private Telephone/fax Number.
Please observe the utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require
your assistanceto invest my share in your country.
I look forward to your earliest reply true this
