Dear Friend,
Permit me to introduce myself to you. My name is Mr.Babayo Saidu, GM,
Corporate & Investment Banking with Chartered Bank Plc,
Nigeria Lagos-Nigeria.
This letter may come to you as a surprise since it is coming from someone
you have not met before and due to high volume of Spam mail that goes around
the world through this means but I have no other choice than to send it to
you through the internet means, Therefore, I will appreciate it if you honor
it and give me all your trust and full co-operation.
I came to know about you in my private search for a reliable
person/company to handle a confidential transaction on behalf of my
Colleagues and myself.
As a matter of fact, I got your contact from the world trade center
(WTC) Regional office in Lagos, Nigeria.Although the details of my
intention was not made known to them. Proposition
A America Mr. Morris Thompson who is an America Oil
consultant/contractor with NNPC had in our Bank the sum of US$13.m in a
domiciliary account Number:14-2558-2004,who unfortunately lost his life in
the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31
2000, including his wife and only daughter leaving nobody to claim the
money.
He named his wife, as the next of kin. Unfortunately, two of them died in a
plane crash you can confirm it yourself via website :
site;http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
Efforts had been made by the management of my Bank through the American
Embassy in Lagos to contact any of the deceased children but to no
avail, as we were made to understand that the couple had no children. Given
the skeletal information available to the Bank, it has so far been
impossible to reach any of the relatives. The option left for the Bank
management is to declare the deceased account dormant and revert the funds
to trading on behalf of and in the interest of the Bank.
In Nigeria, and almost all other parts of African continent, when Banks
acquire funds such as that of Mr. Morris Thompson, they are required
by law to donate 30% of the funds on acquisition to The Trust Fund For
Arms And Ammunitions. Arms and ammunitions purchased with funds from the
Trust Fund are used to further enhance the course of war in Africa and
invariably turbulence of some sort in the world in general. It is
therefore in order to avoid/avert and discourage this negative development
that my Colleagues and I now seek your assistance to have you stand as a
distant relative {Next Of Kin} to Mr. Morris Thompson, so that the funds
would be released to you. All documents and proofs to enable you get the
funds will be carefully packaged once we receive your consent on this
proposal.
May I ssured you that this Transaction is 100% safe and risk-free, as we
have taken care of all necessary modalities to ensure a hitch-free
transaction. I have the authority of my pa rtners i! nvolved in this
transaction to propose that should you be willing to assist us in the
transaction your share would be 40% of the US$13.million, 60% for us. I have
reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me.
Best Regards.
Mr.Babayo Saidu
{GM, Corporate & Investment Banking}.
