Subject: DEAR FRIEND
>From the Private Desk OF:
barrister DAN FRANK
Manager, Bills/Exchange
Foreign Remittance Department,
CITIZEN BANK OF NIGERIA
Dear Sir/Madam
Firstly, I will like to introduce myself as barrister DAN FRANK . Manager,
Bills and Exchange, Foreign Remittance Department of CITIZEN BANK OF NIGERIA
. I write to request for cooperation on a private business deal, which will
be of immense mutual benefit to both parties. Hence, find here-under my
proposal:
Every four years Nigerian Banks transfer to its treasury, millions of
dollars of unclaimed Deceased Depositors Fund in compliance with the Banking
Laws and Guidelines to the majority of cases, with reference to my bank -
CITIZEN BANK OF NIGERIA , the money normally runs into several millions of
dollars. Until Engr. Siawosh Al-Khobar from Saudi Arabia death, along with
his wife, Kafilat and their two son’s, Ibrahim and Tijani in a private jet
plane crash. I was his foreign currency denoted bank Account Manager with
constant balance in excess of eight digits. Ever since his death and up till
this time of writing no next of kin or relation of his has come forward to
claim his money with us.
Naturally, as long as late Engr. Siawosh Al-Khobar from Saudi Arabia money
remains unclaimed, the bank remains richer in free funds with his money.
However, with me being in direct charge of Bills and Exchange in the Foreign
Remittance Department of my bank. I am in a position to cause the payment of
this money to whosoever that presents himself as a next of kin or relation
of late Engr. Siawosh Al-Khobarr on private business deal basis.
Now the game plan and the purpose of my writing you exclusively having been
highly recommended as the right and proper person to handle this deal by a
Management Consultant friend of mine, who has travelled widely, including
your country is that I want to pull out this unclaimed money amounting to
the tune of US$17,500,000.00 (seventeen Million five Hundred Thousand US
Dollars) with your cooperation and assistant by just doing the following:
(a) Act as next of kin or relation of late Engr. Siawosh Al-Khobar from
Saudi Arabia
(b) Provide your bank account and location where you want the money
remitted.
(c) Provide your direct and private telephone/fax number for effective
communication
(d) Give immediate reply to this mail for more details on how to proceed.
Upon receipt of your response, I will send to you by e-mail the Statement
Letter of Claim, which you will forward to the Bank. For your co-operation
and efforts 40% of the money will be for you as our foreign partner, while
50% will be for my colleagues and myself that will eventually visit your
country for disbursement of our portion.
While10% will be for expenses. Send me your reply immediately you receive
this message for more directives. Also, call me immediately you receive this
mail for clear confirmation. Please send your response to me on this e-mail
address:
Looking forward to a mutual beneficial business relationship.
Best regards,
barrister DAN FRANK
Manager, Bills/Exchange
Foreign Remittance Department,
CITIZEN BANK OF NIGERIA
