Subject: Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
I Am Mr.Nelson Donell the Manager, Bills And Exchange at the Foreign
Remittance Department Of The Cometh International Bank Plc, Lagos
Branch. 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. Actually, I listed your name among four other
names & prayed over them & decided to contact you directly. I have a
very urgent & confidential Business Proposition for you & for our
overall mutual interest.
On the 11th of September 2001, our Customer, a Mexican National, late
Engr. Carlos Montoya, an Oil Merchant / Contractor with the Federal
Government of Nigeria, deposited ,a valued amount of US$9Million in my
branch.Upon maturity, i sent a routine notification to his forwarded
address but got no reply. After a month we sent a reminder, & finally
we discovered from his contract employers NNPC, that late Engr. Carlos
Montoya until his death Four years ago in a ghastly terrorist attack
to American Airlines Flight 11, from Boston, Massachusetts, to Los
Angeles, California, crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade
Centre (WTC) with 86 people on board. All occupants of the Aero plane
unfortunately lost their lives. 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 late Engr. Carlos Montoya did not declare any Next of kin in all
his official documents, including his bank deposit paperwork.
This sum US$9Million is still floating 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 NigerianLaws, at the
expiration of 7 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 a Next of kin of late Engr. Carlos Montoya. This is simple.
All I require is your honest and co-operation to enable us see this
deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under alegitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. I will
want you to send to me on your return email the following information
for the transfer in your favor.
1. Your full names as the Beneficiary of the Fund.
2. Your contact address.
3. Your private phone and fax numbers we will be communicating to each
other and as soon as I received I will definitely call you.
Let’s consider that our ratio of sharing will be as stated Thus;
1. I as the Originator of the Fund will take 60% of the transferable
Fund.
2. You as the Manager of the Fund will take 40% of the transferable
Fund.
Most importantly, CONFIDENTAILITY as what I saw as the life wire to
the success of the transfer of this Fund must have to be emulated
between you and me. You have to use this media to promise me that you
will not in anyway expose the content of this transaction to anybody
be it your Friends, Colleagues and Co-Workers to enumerate a fee. With
the act of emulating CONFIDENTIALITY I tell you that the sky will be
our limit as soon as this Fund is transferred in our favor as you the
Beneficiary of the Fund.I will also want you to send your reply to
this email ( nelson_donell@rediffmail.com) as soon as you get this
mail to enable us discuss on the modalities and processes for success
of this transaction.Thanks for your anticipated cooperation and
understanding.
I wait for your kind response. Remain blessed.
Mr.Nelson Donell
