From The Desk Of Mr Sanni Fatai
United Bank For Africa, ILupeju Branch,
Lagos,Nigeria
Email: drsannifatai002@yahoo.com
Dear Friend,
I am Mr Sanni Fatai,Branch Manager with United Bank For
Africa,ILupeju Branch, Lagos, Nigeria.I have an urgent and very
profitable business proposition for you that should be handled with
extreme confidentiality.
On January 6,1998 a Foreign Consultant and contractor with the
Nigerian
Railway Corporation Mr. Abbas Raymond by name made a numbered time
Fixed Deposit for twelve calendar months valued at US$15.6M (Fifteen
Million, Six Hundred United States Dollars Only) in my branch.
Upon maturity I sent a routine notification in accordance with the
Bank
policy to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employers Nigerian Railway Corporation that Mr. Abbas
Raymond, died from an automobile accident.
On further investigation, we found out that he died without making a
Will and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I
therefore made further investigations and discovered that Mr.Abbas
Raymond did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his
official documents including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$15.6M has been carefully moved out of my bank to a
Financial and Security Company in Europe for safekeeping. No one will
ever come forward to claim it and according to the Law of my country,
at the expiration of 7 years the money will revert to the ownership
of the State (Government) if nobody applies to claim the fund.
This prompted i to contact you. We want to front you as the next of
kin of our late client thereby making you the legal beneficiary of the
sum of $15.6 million U.S Dollars that is presently in a Financial and
Security Company in Europe.
I contacted you because it is against our code ofethics to own and
operate foreign accounts and yourassistance would be needed to claim
the money in the Financial and Security Company in Europe.
I have unanimously agreed that 25% of the entire sum would be for you
if you agree to take part in this profitable transaction,65% for me
while the remaining 10% would be used to pay back the expenses that
may be incurred during the course of the transaction by both parties
after the fund has been claimed and lodged in your account. In the event
that you are genuinely interested in the transaction, the following
information would be needed from you to expedite action.
1) Your Full Name
2) Your Residential or Company Address
3) Your Private Mobile,Telphone and Fax numbers where you can be
reached at all time because this transaction entails constant
communication.
The transaction is 100% legal and totally free of risks as all
modalities has been perfected to ensurethe hitch free succes of the
transaction.
If you are interested, send the requested information via my private
email box as soon as possible so that we can proceed.
Regards,
Sanni Fatai
