Subject: ATTN:
FROM THE DESK OF: MR DAN EJIMS
INLAND BANK NIGERIA PLC,
LAGOS-NIGERIA.
ATTN:
I am writing to you, following the impressive information about your profile
through the Website,and I believe in your capability and reliability to
champion this opportunity.
In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of 14million US dollars
(Fourteen million US dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our
foreign customers who died along with his entire family in October,2002 in a
Auto crash.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
Kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it unless
some body applies for it as ! next of Kin or relative to the deceased as
indicated in our banking and financial policies but unfortunately we learnt
that his supposed next of kin or relation died with him in the accident
leaving nobody behind to claim the money.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my
department now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the
money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and
subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this
money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed bills.
The Banking law and guide line here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after seven and half years, the money will be transferred into the
Bank treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request for a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an indigene cannot stand as
next of kin t! o the deceased family.
We agreed that 30% of this money will be fo r you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 5% will be set aside for
expenses incurred during this transaction and 65 % would be for me and my
colleagues.
Thereafter,I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement
according to the percentages dicated.
Therefore, to enhance the immediate transfer of this fund to you as
arranged,you must apply first to the Bank as relation or next of kin of the
deceased indicating your private, telephone and fax number for easy and
effective communication and location where the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail the text of
the application.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of
fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
You should contact me on MY E-MAIL, as soon as you receive this letter. I
decided to contact you as you have products of interest in your part of the
world where we can invest our own percentage to avoid peoples awarenessas we
are civil servants.
Note that we can conclude this operation within ten banking days.
Please keep this very confidential for obvious security reasons. Contact me
for more information confirmable before you apply if you want.
Trusting to hear from you shortly for a detailed information which are
confirmable before you can makeup your mind to apply.If however,you are not
interested,do let me know by returm mail too as I will not contact anybody
else until I hear from you.
Please direct your reply to:- dejims03@yahoo.co.uk
Best Regards,
Mr Dan Ejims.
