FROM THE DESK OF THE DIRECTOR
FOREIGN OPERATIONS REMITTANCE,
UNION BANK NIGERIA Plc.MARINA BRANCH
LAGOS - NIGERIA.E-MAIL: - diko_yusuf01@yahoo.co.uk
Dear,
I am MR DIKO YUSUF, Director of Operation Foreign Remmitance 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 abandoned sum of USD4.5M UNITED STATES DOLLARS,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 Air Bus (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 fundn 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 one other officials in my department have agreed to make business with you and release the
Total amount to you.
We decided to make this business with you because no persons have come for the claim of this fund and we want to avoid it from being returned to our Bank treasury as unclaimed fund.
WE HAVE DECIDED TO COMPERSATE YOU WITH 30% OUT OF THE TOTAL SUM, WHILE THE REMAINING 70% IS FOR ME AND MY PARTNER WHICH WILL BE USED FOR INVESTMENT IN YOUR COUNTRY.
Anticipating hearing from you.You can contact me through this my alternative email address as follows:diko_yusuf01@yahoo.co.uk
Yours Faithfully,MR DIKO YUSUF
