Subject: YOUR RESPONSE
FROM THE DESK OF:
MR.ADEYEMI ADELEKE
ASSURANCE BANK OF NIGERIA
HEAD OFFICE LAGOS.
PLOT 634,ADEYEMO ALAKIJA STREET
VICTORIA ISLAND.
LAGOS.
Dear Friend,
I am Mr Adeyem Adeleke, (Head of Customers Services) with Assurance Bank
Nigeria Limited. I contacted you based on a mutual business transaction that
i would want us to handle in confidence and hope you can understand the need
for us to do this and for you to STAND IN for a client who is a Foreign
Expert with an oil company hear in Nigeria, before he died in a ghastly
motor accident while on a trip outside his station, on the 24th of August
2001. The said man had no children and was about 63years old before his
death. He was never identified with anybody as his relative or wife, and
investigation made could not trace anybody to the late man.
Before his death, he has the sum of $17,800,000.00 usd made from contracts
he executed with Oil Companies here in Nigeria and the proceeds are with our
Bank. Few weeks ago, the Bank requested that the next of KIN to the
deceased should come up to claim his fund deposited with the Bank. I am the
Manager in charge of unclaimed funds hence my contacting you to stand in as
the next of Kin. After much effort made to locate any of his relation
failed.
I contact you to stand in as the next of KIN to the said unclaim fund, so
that the bank will not declare the account dormant, freeze or confiscate the
amount to Bank money, as that is the condition in Nigeria Banking Laws. If
you can stand in, I assure you that this is risk free as I will advise you
on what to do and provide you with all relevant documents, to have this
fund moved to your account and we can now share at 60% for me and 40% for
you.
All I want you to do, is to give me the go ahead to have you presented to
the Bank as the next of kin. It has to be confidential please. As soon as
you apply and meet up with all the documents the Bank demands from you, the
Bank will then transferred the money to an account that will be provided by
you.
This will take us about 15 working days to conclude depending on how you
respond to my mails. If you are willing to stand in as the next of Kin,
please send to me your full Names and telephone numbers, to enable us
discuss and I will brief you on the procedure that has to be taken to have
this transaction concluded within a short period of time.
Note, that we will have to reach an agreement on the shearing of the fund,
and you have to assure me of my own share as soon as the money is
transferred to your account in your country, pending when I come over for my
share.
I look forward to your reply which will be highly appreciated.
Thank You for your understanding.
Adeyemi Adeleke.
