Dear Sir/M,
I am Mr.David Mark. a consulting auditor of a Bank in West Africa in west
africa. I have the courage to Crave indulgence for this important business
believing that you will never let me down either now or in the future. Some
years ago, an American Mining consultant/ contractor with the Nigeria
National
Petroleum Corporation,made a numbered time (fixed)deposit for twelve
calendar
months, valued $42M.USD (FORTY TWO MILLION US DOLLARS) in an account. On
maturity, The bank sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got
no reply. After a month, The bank sent another reminder and finally his
contract
employers, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation wrote to inform the
bank
that he died without MAKING A WILL, and all attempts by the American Embassy
to
trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore, made further investigation
and
discovered that the beneficiary was an immigrant from Jamaica and only
recently
obtained American citizenship. He did not declare any kin or relations in
all
his official documents, including his Bank deposit paper work. This
money total amount$42M.USD ( FORTY TWO MILLION US DOLLARS)is still sitting
in my
bank as dormant Account. No one will ever come forward to claim it, and
according to Nigerian Banking policy, after some years, the money will
revert
to the ownership of the igerian Government if the account owner is certified
dead. This is the situation, and my proposal is that I am looking for a
foreigner who will stand in as the next of kin to beneficiary, and OPEN a
Bank
Account abroad to facilitate the transfer of this money.
This is simple, all you have to do is to OPEN an account anywhere in the
world
and send me its detail for me to arrange the proper money transfer
paperwork,
and facilitate the transfer.The money will then be paid into this Account
for us
to share in the ratio of 60% for me, 35 % for you and 5% for expenses that
might
come up during transfer process. There is no risk at all, and all the paper
work
for this transaction will be done by me using my position and connections in
the
banks in Nigeria. This business transaction is guaranteed.And the first
phase of the transfer will be ($4M.USD) FOUR MILLION DOLLARS as advised by
our
insider in the bank.If you are interested, please reply immediately through
my
personal email sending the following details:
(1) Your Full Name/Address
(2) Your Private Telephone/fax Number.
Please observe the utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require
your
assistance to invest some of my share in your country. I look forward to
your
earliest reply.
Yours,
Mr.David Mark.
