DEAR CONFIDANT,
Good day to you,
I presume this letter will come to you as a surprise,
but as things unfold,we will know each other better. I
will start by introducing myself to you.My name is MR,
VICTOR UMAH, DIRECTOR FOREIGN OPERATIONS UNION BANK
NIG PLC.
I AM WRITTING IN RESPECT OF A FOREIGN CUSTOMER OF MY
BANK AN OIL MERCHANT & CONTRACTOR ( MR MORRIS
THOMPSON, 61 YEARS OLD) WHO PERISHED IN THE PLANE
CRASH OF 31 JANUARY, 2000 OF ALASKA AIRLINES FLIGHT
NUMBER 261 WITH HIS WIFE THELMA THOMPSON AND DAUTHER
SHERYL THOMPSON. AND OTHER PASSENGERS ABOARD AS YOU
CAN COMFIRM YOURSELF THROUGH THIS WEB
SITE.
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
Since the demise of this our customer, I personally
have watched with keen interest to see the next of kin
but all has proved abortive as no one has come to
claim his funds of US$5,000,000.00 (Five Million
United States Dollar) and all the relevant documents
in the bank has record of his wife as the next of
kin,but eventually she was also involved in the crash.
At this point I am contacting you concerning a
business acquaintance that necessitates you to act as
a new beneficiary cum next of kin to the said dormant
account as I hope to give you more technical details
on how i think we should transfer the funds into your
nominatedoffshore/residence account. Please I need you
to help me with your personal details such as Full
names, home/office address, phone and fax numbers
respectively. Because the banking ethics here does not
allow such money to stay more than five years, because
money will be recalled to the bank treasury as
unclaimed after this period. In view of this, I got
your contact through the internet after realizing that
you can be used as the next of kin to the deceased. I
will give you 30% of the total for your services, and
5% for any expenses that may arise.
Upon the receipt of your response, I will forward to
you a copy of my official bank I.D card, my personal
picture for proper indentification of my good
self and in confirmation of my sincere purpose in this
transaction after which we can now seek the services
of a financial attorney who will be your lawyer &
legal representative here, he will equally forward an
applicaton of claim to this bank on your behalf as the
next of kin to the deceased account towards the
procurement of all the necessary approvals and
documents that will prove you as the bonafide
Beneficiary and next of kin to the funds of which the
copies will be forwarded to you for your own perusals.
NOTE; as the DIRECTOR FOREIGN OPERATIONS of this bank,
I can not physically avail myself for the procurement
of this documents because neither the lawyer nor the
bank authorities should know that I am aware of your
claims this is exactly why we will need the services
of an external attorney, but I will act under cover
and make sure that all approvals and documentations
are obtained in your favour because I have made all
arrengements before contacting you.
Be informed that this money is not connected with
drugs; money laundry,fire arms and looting which I
believe will put fears in you to render the
required assistance needed from you and consequently
withdrawing your help for
security reasons.
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 the funds
transfer will be finalized within five banking days,
after your lawyer apply to the bank on your behalf as
a relative to the deceased.
When you receive this letter, kindly send me an e-mail
to this confidential address signifying your interest
including your most confidential telephone/fax numbers for quick
communication.
God bless.
Respectfully submitted,
MR, VICTOR UMAH
