FROM THE DEST OF IGWE.S.ANAM
MANAGER STANDARD TRUST BANK PL C
LAGOS BRACH NIGERIA
Dear Friend,
I am Igwe.S.Anam , manager Standard Trust bank, Lagos Branch.I got your
contact from the World Trade Center (W.T.C.) Regional office in Lagos,
Nigeria .Before I proceed, I want to let you know that I am a devout
Christian and a responsible man . I say this in respect to the purpose
of this letter. I make this approach to you bounded by truth and total
believe in God.
Therefore,to seek direction from God, I listed your name among four other
persons and prayed over them and God revealed you to me to reveal this
business opportunity to you and seek your help and participation for our
over all mutual interest.
On 9 June 1999, an American Oil Consultant/Contractor with the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation - Mr martins Frank Wallace , 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 forwarding address but
got no reply.
After a month, the Bank sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employers, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that Mr Mr
martins Frank Wallace , died from an automobile accident.
On further investigation I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all
attempt to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that Mr Mr martins Frank Wallace , did not
declare any next of kin in all his official documents,including his
bank deposit paperwork.
This sum of USD$25,000,000.00 is still sitting 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 Law,at the expiration
of 6 (six) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigeria
Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in
as the next of kin of Mr martins Frank Wallace ,and apply to our bank for
the release of the deceased man's deposit to your account.
This is simple.
1) I will like you to provide me immediately with your full names and your
mailing address both your bank account
2) A bank account in any part of the world, which you provide, will then
facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin
of Mr martins Frank Wallace .
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of
70% for me and 30% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction position
guarantees the successful execution of this transaction is here with me.If
you are interested, please reply immediately Upon your response, I shall
then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will
help you contact the Bank .
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us. because I shall require
your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Hope hearing from you soonext.
Mr Igwe.S.Anam
Manager Standard Trust Bank plc
Lagos-Nigeria.
