Subject: get back to me urgently
Dr Andrew Chike
Foreign Operations.
International Trust Bank.
Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.
Goodday Becker,
I AM Dr. Andrew Chike of the Department of Foreign Operations ,International
Trust Bank.
I was personal account manager at one time to one late Engineer
Walter Becker of your country, who till his death was a contractor with
Impressario Nigeria Limited and Nigerian Ports authority. I have decided to
contact you through this medium based on a business proposal, which will be
of mutual benefit to both of us.
A random search based on your locality from the Internet produced your
name and address and that of two others in your country.
On the 21st of April 2002,an Engineer , his wife and their three
children were involved in a car accident along Ibadan express road and all
occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. At the time of his
death, he had a deposit of $16.5 Million which was proceed of a contract
work he just concluded with the Nigerian Ports authority. The payment was
made with a Union Bank cheque which I personally cleared.
Unfortunately, no body has come forward to claim this money. It is
based on this that some officials in my department and I have decided to
establish a cordial business relationship with you, hence my contacting
you.
I humbly request your attention to this matter so that I can present
you as his
next of kin and beneficiary to his chattels. It is not a very difficult
thing to do and it will not take time. All I will need is to change the
name and particulars of his next of kin to yours in our computer
database and we file in an application for the release of the fund.
If you indicate interest in this affair, our Attorney shall prepare
some documents, which we shall Send to you and your name shall be
incorporated as a Beneficiary of this fund.
Regarding to the sharing ratio, that will have to be discused as soon
as i hear from you with your full readiness to enter into this bargain
with me.
However, i beleive that will not course any problem hence the vehement
issue is readiness to conclude this transaction with me.
Please contact me as quickly as possible with email;
andychike@mail.ru
with the following information:
your full name,
age,
occupation ,
telephone numbers and
mailing address, We will talk about the sharing ratio as soon as
you get in touch with me.
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE GIVEN EMAIL ADDRESS
ie;(andychike@mail.ru)
Kind regards,
Dr.Andrew Chike.
