Dear Sir
I am Dr.Pascal Dozie,Bank Manager of ACB International Bank plc Lagos
,Nigeria.I got your contact from the world trade center (WTC)Regional
officein lagos,Nigeria.
Although the details of my intention was not made known to
them.Actually,I listed your name amongst four other names & prayed over them
& decided to contact you directly.
I have a very urgent & confidential bussiness proposition for you & for our
overall mutual interest.
on june 6 2001,an American oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation Mr Williams Paul made a numbered
time(fixed)deposit for twelve calendar months,valued at
USD$25,000,000.00(twenty five million dollars) in my branch.
Upon maturity,i sent a routine notification to his forwarded address
but got noreply.
After a month we sent a reminder,& finally we discovered from his
contract employers NNPC,that Mr.Williams died in an automobile accident.
On further investigation,i found out that he did not leave a WILL &
all attempts to trace his nextof kinwere fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation & discovered that Mr.Williams
Paul did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents,including
his bank deposit paperwork.
This sum USD$25,000,000.00 is still floating in the bank and the
interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each
year.
No one will come forward to claim it.
According to Nigerian Laws,At the expiration of 7years,the money will
revert to the ownership of the Nigerian government if nobody applies to
claim the funds.
Consequently,my proposal is that iwill like you as a foreigner to stand in
as a next of kin of Mr Williams Paul.
This is simple
1)I will like you to provide me immediately with your full names &
address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents &
affidavits,which will put you as next of kin.
2)We shall employ the services of two attorneys for drafting &
notarization of the WILL and obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your favour for the transfer.
3)A bank account in any part of the world,which you will provide to
facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60%
for me and 40% for you.
There is no risk at all as the attorney and my position will do the
paperwork for this tansaction as the branch manager guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction.
If you are interested,please reply immediately via this private email
address.
Upon your response,Ishall then provide you with more details and
relevant documents that will help you understand.PLEASE OBSERVE UTMOST
CONFIDENTIALITY,and be rest assured that this would be most profitable for
both of us because i shall require your assistance to
invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply via this email:p_doziemd5000@yahoo.fr.
above,please save me the anxiety of endless waiting.
God bless you.
