Dear Friend,
Compliment of the seasons!
Permit me to introduce myself, my name is Mr.Stanley Osadebe, I work
with Union Bank Nig. Plc as an Accountant. In the discharge of my duty, I
came on this omiciliary account that has remained dormant for some years now
with our bank valued the sum of US$7,700.000.00 (Seven Million, Seven
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) I made some enquiries and discovered
that the account holder died on the 2nd of november 1999 with his wife and
their two Children died in an Auto crash along Lagos badagry Expressway,
Lagos-Nigeria.
I am writing you so that we can work together to remit the money to you
as the next of kin because this money belong to a foreigner and has to be
claim by a foreigner. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the
money left behind by the deceased before they get declared unserviceable by
the Bank where this huge Deposit was lodged.
The Bank has issued me a notice as the Accountant to the Deceased to
provide the Next of Kin or have the fund declared as an UNCLAIMED FUND
within the Next 15 official working days.Since I have been unsuccessful in
locating the relatives for over 4years now that I have been searching. I
seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since
you are a foreigner like him so that the proceeds of this Bank Account can
be paid out in your favor. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.
I guarantee this transaction under a legitimate arrangement that will
not breach the law by both parties; it is simple process which will take a
short while to process. I have all the necessary Legal Documents that will
be used to back up any claim we are going to make. All I require is your
honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.Please acknowledge
receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavor by
furnishing me with the following;

These requirements will enable us file a letter of claim to the
appropriate departments for necessary approvals in your favour before the
transfer can be made. You will be compensated with 35% of the total fund on
final conclusion of this project, while the rest shall be for me. Your share
stays with you while the rest shall be for us for investment purposes in
your country.
