Mr. DANIEL SAINT.
ABUJA - NIGERIA
TEL:234-802-5718336.
Dear Friend,
Courtesy of Business opportunity, I take liberty anchored on strong desire
to solicit for your assistance on this mutual beneficial and risk free
transaction with you, which I hope you will give urgent attention. To be
precise, I am Mr DANIEL SAINT. the Director OF FIDELITY BANK PLC ABUJA HQ.
In my bank, we discovered an abandoned sum of US$15,000.00 (Fifteen
Million,United States Dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our
customers who died along with his entire family aboard Alaska Airline flight
number 261, on 31st of January, 2000. You can read more about MR.MORRIS
THOMSON and his family's death by clicking on this
web:http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
Kin to come over and claim his money, because we can not release it unless
somebody applied for its next of Kin or Relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking procedure, but unfortunately to no avail, and
nobody has come forward to claim the money (because the mentioned next of
kin which was his daugther died as well).Therefore, upon this discovery I
and other two officials in my bank now decide to establish a cordial
business relationship with you, hence my contacting you. We want you to
purportedly present your good self as the next of Kin or relation of the
deceased so that we can prepare documentations and release the funds
(US$15.Million) into your account for safety and subsequent disbursement
since nobody is coming for it and again we do not want the funds to go into
the Government's account as "Unclaimed Bill".
The banking law and procedures herein stipulates that any account abandoned
or dormant for a period of some years is subjected to be closed and all
money contained therein will be forfeited to the Government Treasury
Account. The reason for you to present your good self as the next of kin in
occassioned by the fact that the deceased customer was a foreigner. Mode of
sharing after the successful completion of the transfer is as follows, for
the role you will be expected to play in the whole exercise, we have agreed
to give you twenty five (25%) of the total sum, and the remaining 75% shall
be for my colleagues and I. In support of the issue at hand, you are urged
to reply this letter indicating your readiness and interest to participate
in the business. After you reply, you will be advised on the next step
forward.
I quite believe that you will protect our interest by keeping this business
Top Secret and Confidential, as your interest will be equally protected in
order to achieve and maintain maximum confidentiality. Hope to hear from you
soon as I count on your earliest response only on my private email
Yours truly,
MR.DANIEL SAINT..
