Hello Dear,
NOTIFICATION AS NEXT OF KIN/BENEFICIARY
It is indeed my pleasure to write to you this letter, which I believe will
be a suprise, as we are both complete strangers. I am Mr. Henry Okocha the
Director of Union Bank of Nigeria Plc.I am writing in respect of a foreign
customer of my bank (Dr. Harry Jones) with account number
10-311-74450944/ubn/b who perished in a plane crash Korean Air Flight 801]
with the whole passengers aboard on August 6, 1997. Since the demise of
this our customer, we have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate
any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts,I also personally watched with
keen interest to see the next of kin but has proved abortive as no one has
come to claim his funds of USD.25.504 million dollars which has been with
my branch for a very long time. On this note, I decided to seek for whom
his name shall be used as the next of kin as no one has come up to be the
next of kin. And the banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay
more than Nine years,the money will be recalled to the bank treasury as
unclaimed and subsequently forfieted after this period.
In view of this I got your contact through a serach in the Internet for a
help, after realizing that your country is similar to the deceased.I will
give you 25% of the total I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
business is hitch free and that you should not entertain any fear as all
modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within eight banking days,
after the bank has accepted all documentations presented by you regarding
the late Dr Harry Jones.I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
When you receive this letter. Kindly send me an e-mail,signifying your
decision, including your private Tel/Fax numbers for
quick communication. Respectfully submitted,
Mr. Henry Okocha
Director.
Union Bank of Nigeria Plc.
