Dear Sir/ma
I am Mr Micheal Aremu, accountant for foreing bill of exchange operation
department of the Metro Bank Plc here in Nigeria. I am writing following the
impressive information about you through an internet geonological research .
In my department, we discovered along term deposited fund of { $6.5M } Six
Million Five hundred Thousand United States Dollars in an account which
belong to a foriegn customer Late Engr A. who died along side with his
nuclear family in an Auto crash on April 21st 2003 in Along Shagamu Express
Way Ogun State - Nigeria
Since the bank management received the information about his death. The
management have been expecting his next of kin to come over for his or her
claim as the huge fund can not be release unless somebody applies for it
legally as the beneficiary / next of kin to the deceased / fund as indicated
in our banking guide. Unfurtunately all efforts to locate the next of kin to
the deceased by the bank management proved abortive.Now as the personal
accountant to the deceased, after much official enquiry / verification
through the deposit files of the deceased, I was able to realise that his
supposed next of kin died along side with him at the Auto Crash on April
21st 2003.
The banking law and guideline act 00.02 of the foreign beneficiary fund
release stipulates that if such fund remain uncliamed after the exsisting
period of four years, as the fund shall be automatically transfered into the
national treasury account as uncliamed bill. As the personal accountant to
the deceased, I therefore decide to make business with you by releasing
the fund { $6.5M } to you as the next of kin to the deceased for safe
keeping of the fund /subsequent disbursement as I do not want the fund to be
transfered into the national treasury as unclaimed fund.
Note : This transaction is 100% risk free as I have all required
information / documents which shall aid the total accomplishment of this
fund repatriation into your personal account as the beneficiary to the
deceased. Upon the confirmation of your positive response, I shall send to
you by fax / mail the commencement step, full information of the bank and
that of the deceased for instant inception of this transaction.
The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is highly
occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Nigerian
cannot stand as a next of kin to a foreigner. We agreed that 50% that is
negotiable of this money would be for you as foreign partner. Thereafter I
will visit your country for the disbursement / investing our share according
to the percentages indicated. Please be honest to me. I look forward to your
positive response. Please note that you are not to appear in person as
everything regarding this project will be strictly handled by a lawyer and
every banking documents needed for this transaction will be taken care of by
a lawyer.
NOTE: Make sure you reply to my email through this address below for
confidential communication that this transaction require.
