Senior manager and regional manager,
Assurance bank Nigeria limited.
Lagos 1 (marina, Martins Street,
Victoria Island and icon house,
Lagos Nigeria
Dear Friend,
I am Musa Bello, senior manager and regional manager with the assurance bank
Nigeria limited. I was personal account manager to one late Engineer
Williams f your country, who till his death was a contractor with Impresario
Nigeria Limited, Moenier Oil & Gas consult and Nigerian Ports Authority.
On the 28th of November 2001, Engr.williams, his wife and their two children
were involved in a car accident along gwagwalada express road and all
occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. At the time of his
death, Williams had a deposit of USD$10.5million which was proceeding of a
contract work he just concluded with the Nigerian ports authority. The
payment was made with an ECOBANK cheque, which I personally cleared.
Unfortunately, till this moment no one has come as his relation for his
deposit with us. My colleagues and I humbly request your attention to this
matter so that we can present you as his next of kin or beneficiary to his
deposit. It is not a very difficult thing to do especially as you share the
same last name with him and it will not take time too. All we 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 through
the probate office in your name.
It does not necessarily mean that you must be here to conclude the deal; we
may request that the money be sent to Europe or even the United States for
payment. Please contact me as quickly as possible with this email address:
musa_bello090@yahoo.co.uk 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:
musa_bello090@yahoo.co.uk
Kind Regards,
Musa Bello
