Subject: N O K
I am Mr Adams Smith,Manager of Wema Bank Plc,Lagos Branch.I have
urgent and very confidential business proposition for you . Junaid
Abdulla an Iranian National and an oil Merchant with the Federal
Ministry of petroleum in Nigeria here made a numbered time( Fixed
)deposited for twelve calender months,valued at US$26,000,000.00 (
Twenty Six Million Dollars ) in my branch .Upon maturity , I sent a
routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply .
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employers, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that
Junaid Abdulla died from an automobile accident .On further
investigation , I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all
attempts to trace his next of Kin were fruitless . I therefore made
further investigation and discovered that Junaid Abdulla did not
declare any next of Kin in all his official documents , including his
Bank Deposite paperwork. This sum of US$26,000,000,00 is still
sitting in the Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the
principal sum at the end of each year.
No one will come forward to claim it . According to the Nigerian Law
, at the expiration of 6(Six)years ,the money will revert to the
ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the
funds.Consequently my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner
to stand in as the next of Kin to Junaid Abdulla so that the fruits
of this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt
government officials.This is simple:
( 1 ) We shall employ the services of an attorneys for drafting and
notarization of the WILL and obtain the necessary documents and
letter of probate/administration in your favour for the transfer of
the funds into your account.
( 2 ) I will like you to provide me immediately with your full names
and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents
and affidavits, which will put you in place as the next of Kin.
( 3 ) A bank account in any part of the world,which you provide will
then facilitate the transfer of this money into your account as the
beneficiary/next of Kin of Junaid Abdulla .The money will be paid
into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60%for me and 30%
for you then 10% will be set aside for any expenses that may occur
during the transfer process .
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction
will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager
guarantees the successful execution of this transaction .If you are
interested ,please reply immediately via my alternative email address
below
uktransglobe@operamail.com, Upon your response I shall then provide you
with more details and relevant documents that will help you
understand and claim this money on my behalf . Please observe utmost
confidentiality , and rest assured that this transation would be most
profitable for both of us because I shall need your assistance to
invest my share in your country . Pls, quickily forward your fax
number and phone number for voice communication with you .
Awaiting your urgent reply .
Thanks and Best Regards,
Smith A
