Dear,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not
yet met. The message could be strange but real if you pay some attention to
it. I could have notified you about it at least for the sake of your
integrity. Please accept my sincere apologies. In bringing this message of
goodwill to you, I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any
pains.I am Davidson Soludo, Managing Director/CEO, Intercontinental Bank
Limited. I managed to get your contact details through the Internet myself.
Time is of the importance and I am desperately looking for a person to
assist me in this confidential business. A British oil consultant/contractor
with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Claude Brian Best made
a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit on January 6, 2003, valued at
US$45,000,000.00 (fourthy- five Million Dollars), for twelve (12) calender
months in my bank. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employers, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that Mr.
Claude Brian Best died from an automobile accident. On further
investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all
attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that Mr. Claude Brian Best did not declare any
kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$45,000,000.00 is still sitting in my
Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end
of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it.
According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money
will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to
claim the fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a
foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Claude Brian Best so that
the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some
corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide
immediately your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare
the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the
next of kin.
We shall employ the service of two lawyers for drafting and notarization of
the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your favour for the transfer.
A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then
facilitate the transfer ofthis money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60%
for me and 40% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be
done by the attorney and my position as the Managing Director/CEO guarantees
the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested,please
reply immediately. Upon your response, All you have to do is to give me your
private address, phone and fax lines I shall then provide you with more
details and relevant documents that will help you understand the
transaction. 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. Awaiting your
urgent reply
Thanks and best regards.
Mr. Davidson Soludo
