Subject: Important/ GET BACK TO ME.
FROM: DR HILARY ALFRED
Director, Audit and Accounting Unit,
Foreign Remittance Dept.
Union Bank Plc,
(UBP) West Africa Regional office,
15 Kofo Abayomi Street Victoria- Island
Lagos Nigeria.
ATTN: Good Friend,
Greetings to you, This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I
believe it is only a day that people meet and become great friends and
business partners.
My name is DR HILARY ALFRED , the present Director, Audit and Accounting
Unit Foreign Remittance Dept ,Union Bank Plc Regional office in Nigeria
West Africa.
I am a national of Burkina Faso and have worked for (UBP) for 16 years
rising through the ranks.
I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you with
the information I am about to reveal to you. Like I said, I a have
transaction that will benefit both of us, as your assistance is required as
a foreigner.
I use to head the Accounts department in my bank head office, but last
August I was asked to take this new position and i discovered a fortune.
As I resumed duty, I discovered an account with total sum of 24.6 million
USD that has not been operated on for the past 5 years.
From my investigation, I found out that this account belongs to one Late Mr.
Ziya Bazhayev a Russian big time Oil dealer, who unfortunately lost his life
in the Yak-40jetliner on March 9, 2000. You will read more news about the
crash on visiting these site;
http://archives.cnn.com/2000/WORLD/europe/03/09/russia.crash.04/
I have kept a close monitoring of the account since then and nobody has come
forward to claim the money as next of kin to the late Mr. Ziya Bazhayev
meaning that no one is aware of the account.
My investigations revealed that the money was meant for investment in the
downstream of Nigeria's oil sector. I cannot directly take out this money
without the help of a foreigner and that is why I am contacting you for an
assistance to claim the funds and share it with me.
As the Director , I have the power to influence the release of the funds to
any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the account, with the
correct information concerning the account, which I shall give you. I am
seeking your co -operation to present you as the next of kin to the account.
There is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.
If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to share
the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied. Contact me
soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work together,so as to
give you more details.
Thanking you in advance and may Almigthy God bless you. Please, treat with
utmost confidentiality. I wait your urgent response.
PLEASE REPLY TO MY PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS VIA:hilaryalfred101@myway.com,
Regards.
DR HILARY ALFRED.
