>From Mr.Musthapha Bello.
InLand Bank Nig.Plc.
171 St. Trimdon Station Road,
V/Island Nigeria.
Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr Musthapha Bello director of
operations of the InLand Bank Nig.Plc.I have a obscured business suggestion
for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Mr. Fadi Castrol who was an Iraqi
citizen and also a business man here in Nigeria made a numbered fixed
deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Thirty Eight million Six
Hundred Thousand United State Dollars (US$38.6million) only in my branch.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him,even during the war early this
year. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no
response came from him. We later find out that the him and his family had
been killed during the war in bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that my client did not
declare any "NEXT OF KIN" in his official papers including the paper work of
his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my
office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank . So, Thirty
Eight million Six Hundred Thousand United State Dollars (US$38.6million) is
still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it.
What bothers me most is that according to the to the laws of my country at
the expiration 4 years (4yrs) the funds will revert to the ownership of the
Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this
backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand as the "NEXT OF KIN" to my client so that you will be able to receive
his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE: I want you to know that I have had everything planned
out so that we shall come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that
will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the "NEXT OF
KIN" to my client, all that is required from you at this stage is for you to
provide me with your Full Names and Current Residential Address,Phone or Fax
number so that the attorney can commence his job.
After you have been made the "NEXT OF KIN", the attorney will also fill in
for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of
probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an account that will be
provided by you. There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are
going adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the
necessary documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all
matters concerning this issue.
Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall
negotiate our sharing percentage and agreed on it.
Should you be interested please send me your full names and current
residential address and I will prefer you to reach me on the email address
below (musthapha_bello@fsmail.net)and finally after that i shall provide you
with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Musthapha Bello
