Subject: NEXT OF KIN
FROM THE DESK OF THE DIRECTOR
FOREIGN OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT
UNION BANK NIGERIA PLC APAPA BRANCH.
PRIVATE EMAIL ADD: oluharris@walla.com
Attn: The M/D.
I am Emmanuel Jobe , Director of Foreign Operations with the Union Bank of
Nigeria, Plc. I am writing this letter to ask for your assistance and
co-operation to carry out this business.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of EUR12.Million, that
wasdeposited to our correspondence bank in Luxembourg,(DEXIA BANQUE
INT).through Luxembourg stock exchange in an account that belongs to one of
our foreign customers an American late Engineer and an oil merchant with the
Federal Government of Nigeria Late Eng. Frank Creek (Junior) who died along
with his entire family of a wife and two children in Kenya Airways
(A310-300) flight Kq430 in November 1997. Since we heard of his death, we
have been expecting his next of kin to come over and put claims for his
money as the heir because we cannot release the fund from his account unless
someone applies for claim as the next of kin to the deceased as indicated in
our banking guide lines.
Unfortunately, neither his family member nor distant relative has applied to
claim the said fund. Upon this discovery, I and other officials in my
department have agreed to make business with you and release the Total
amount to you on trust. We decided to make this business with you because no
persons have come for the claim of the fund and we want to avoid it from
being returned to our Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The terms of sharing
can only be discussed if you indicate your willingness in assisting us.
Anticipating to hearing from you soonest.
Regards
Mr.Emmanuel Jobe
Union Bank Nig. Plc
