Subject: URGENT RESPONSE.
--Dear Friend,
Compliment of the season.I am Mr West Martins. The group branch manager of Bond Bank Limited.I am wrtting in respect of a foreign customer of my bank(Mr Harrison MC Philip).Who perished with his family in an auto crash accident in Lagos Abuja express way, in Nigeria.on the 15th Of June 2001.
Since the demise of Mr Harrison Philip,I personal have watched with Keen interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his funds of $USD5.410Million,Five million,Four Hundred and Ten Thousand United States Dollars has been with our Bank here for a very long Time, which has accumulated some interest.
On this note i decided to seek for your assistance if you will be interested, your name shall be use as the next of kin ,as no one has come up to put claim as the next of kin to this fund as the banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more that five years,because after five years the money will be called Back to the Bank Treasury as Unclaimed Bill. And that is what i don't want it to happen.
I am convinced in my mind that your name could be used as the next of kin to this claim. The request of the foreigner as a next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner to my country and a Nigerian can not stand as the next of kin to a foreigner.
I have agreed to share this money with you in the mutual understand of 70% /30%. You keep 30% while i keep 70%.Thereafter i will visit your country, for disbursement as i am almost due for retirement.
Therefore to endeavour the immediate transfer of this fund to your account, you have to apply first to the bank as the next of kin to the deceased indicating by sending an application and location were the money will be remitted .
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is 100% risk free and that you should not entertain any fear as the whole required arrangement has been perfected for the transfer Do not hesitate to reply me through this email address westmartins@excite.com if you are interested.
Kind regards.
West Martins.
