Dear Friend
My name is Mr.ANI MARTINS I work in the credit and accounts department
of Union Bank of Nigeria Plc,Lagos, Nigeria. I write you in respect of a
foreign customer with our bank, before his sudden death.His name is Mr.A
Long,He was among those who died in a plane crash here in Nigeria in
the year 2002.Sir,since the demise of this our customer, Mr A.Long
who was an oil merchant/contractor, I have kept a close watch of the deposit
records and accounts and since then no body has come to claim the money in
this a/c as next of kin to the late Engineer.You can find out more on this
site www.dawodu.com/aluko14.htm
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1968616.stm
He had only $18mllion in his a/c and the a/c is coded.
It is only an insider that could produce the code or password of the deposit
particulars.Asitstands now, there is nobody in that position to produce the
needed
information other than my very self considering my position in the bank as
his account
officer.Based on the reason that nobody has come forward to claim the
deposit as next of
kin, I hereby ask for your co operation in using your name as the next of
kin to the deceased to send these funds out to a foreign offshore bank a/c
for mutual
sharing between myself and you.You should contact me through my alternative
email account:
ani_martins1@yahoo.fr and I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.By this doing,what is
required of you is to
send an application laying claims of the deposit as next of kin to the
deceased officially to
the director of our bank.
I will need your full name and address,telephone and fax number for the
processing of the transfer
in your name and favour.Finally i want you to understand that the request
for a foreigner as the
next of kin is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and
for that
reason alone a Nigerian cannot represent as next of kin.Contact me then we
shall discuss on how the
money will be split between us.Trusting to hear
from you, I remain Respectfully yours,
Best Regard,
Mr.ANI MARTINS.
