Intercontinental bank plc.
Good Day, Compliment.
I am an Accountant with Intercontinental Bank Plc, My name is Daniel Patson.
I was the personal Account officer to late (Engineer Michael ) citizen of
your country, who used to work with Chevron Development oil company here in
Nigeria. Here in shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April
2001, my Client, his wife and their three children wereinvolved in a drastic
car accident along Sagamu/Lagos Express Road. Unfortunately him and his
three kids lost their lives immediately in the event of the accident, while
the wife was taken to the hospital where she died three days later. Their
bodies were kept in the mortuary for five months, in order for the
authorities, to carry out proper investigation on how to locate their
surviving relatives. They have checked all available public files and
embassies, but all their efforts had proved abortive.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, no one has been coming for his
account that he deposited with my bank. And due to the banking law and
regulation of 1985, sub section 18d page 103 chapter 11 of constitution
governing all banking policy in Nigeria, and in accordance to the banking
decree 003 subsection 45 which stated that any deposited fund which remains
unclaimed after the existing period of four years will be confiscated by the
national treasury department as unclaimed fund. And this has brought too
much agitation in our bank between boards of directors on how to declare
this account unserviceable, base to the fact that the deceased has no next
of kin. After the meeting held by the executives of intercontinental bank
with the personal attorney to late Michael on 29th of April 2005, they have
all agreed to extend the date to 26th January 2006.
Consequently to this, I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the
money and property left behind by my client before they Get them confiscated
or declare unserviceable by intercontinental bank Plc Where the deceased
have an account Valued at about ($15,345 million us dollars). The bank has
issued out a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confiscated with in the next few weeks. Since no one has been able to locate
their relatives for over 4 years now, I seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin of the deceased so that this account valued at
($15,345million us dollars) can be paid to you and then you and I Can share
the money. All the necessary documents concerning this claim are with the
Bank legal department. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us
see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legal
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in
touch with me by my email if you are willing to do this
Yours faithfully,
Daniel Patson
