Courtesy of Business opportunity, I take liberty anchored on strong desire
to solicit and crave your indulgence to make this project request for a
joint business transaction which is of mutual beneficial and risk free
transaction with you and I hope will not come to you as a surprise, hence I
plead for your pardon. I am Mr.Fabian Williams., the Auditing and Accounting
Unit, Foreign Operations Department Union Bank Of Nigeria, Plc. I have an
urgent and confidential business proposal for you. On June 6th, Engr. Steve
Moore made a numbered time (Fixed Deposit) valued at US$15.500.000.00
(Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in my branch,
on maturity I sent a routine notification to his forwarded address but got
no reply after months we send a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employee (Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation) that Late Engr.
Steve Moore died from an automobile accident, on further investigation it
was clear that he died without making a will. All attempts by the Australian
Embassy to trace his next of kin were fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Late Engr. Steve
Moore did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official
documents including his deposit document in my bank. The total sum of
US$15,500,000.00 is still in my bank as dormant account. According to
Nigerian banking law and procedures herein stipulates that any account
abandoned or dormant for a period of some years is subjected to be closed
and all money contained therein will be forfeited to the Government Treasury
Account as “Unclaimed Bills”. Now it is being speculated that the above sum
will be transferred into Government Treasury Account as unclaimed funds on
or before December 2005 as long as the account owner is certified death and
nobody comes forward to claim it.
The reason for you to present your good self as the next of kin in
occasioned by the fact that the deceased customer was a foreigner. Mode of
sharing after the successful completion of the transfer is as follows, for
the role you will be expected to play in the whole exercise, we have agreed
to give you twenty five (25%) of the total sum, and 5% has been set aside
for expenses we are going to encounter by both parties in the process of
this transaction and the remaining 70% shall be for my colleagues and I.
There is no risk involved. I am using my position and connection in the bank
here to do all the document work for the transaction and I shall obtain all
necessary documents and letter of administration in your fovour for this
transfer. This transaction is risk free guaranteed, if you are in support of
the aforementioned, you are urged to reply this letter indicating your
readiness and interest to participate in the business. When repling , you
are advised to sent these details bellow,so that i can tell you on the next
step forward.
1.FULL NAME
2.CONTACT ADDRESS
3.TEL/FAX NUMBER
4.MOBILE NUMBER
5.AGE
6.OCCUAPATION
