Subject: Further Details
Dear Eliza,
How are you today? Thank you for your reply to my proposal.
I wish to let you know that i am the bank manager that is contacting
you direct. We are going to be in this as partners and will always
resolve any issues regarding this transaction amicably as grown ups
and please i can not say that i am above topographical errors while
using a computer. i hope you still understand the confidentiality
associated with this and also I hope you are not going to take
advantage of the trust i bestowed on you.
I am hereby sending you copies of the following documents:
a) My Office ID card.
My name is MR.PATRICK OGWALA as you can see from my office ID i
attached to this email. I want to be referred to and my email sent to
this my private email address(pogwala7@gmail.com). In addition, the
name of the bank is Global bank Plc of Nigeria . You may wish to
verify my identity on our bank website (
www.globalbankplc.com/AboutUs/Management.htm ). There in the website ,
you will my name as the manager of Port Ahrcourt branch , which is
where the funds are located/deposited.
I have decided to reveal all these information to you because I have
seen your seriousness in this transaction and I believe that you will
keep all these information very confidential. I hope that all these
documents will help you in taking a decision about participating fully
in this transaction. I must let you know that i came for your
assistance so that you can receive the money, but will also assist me
financially as i can not do all it takes alone. It will be better if
you will come to my country here which will be alot easier, and less
expensive for us. I am being honest with you so that you won`t say i
did not tell you since i have no time to waste in beating about the
bush.
I am hereby assuring you that you will have no cause to regret your
involvement in this transaction. I wish to let you know that the key
factor in this transaction is trust and confidentiality. If you need
any other document in order to assure yourself that you are doing a
genuine transaction, just let me know and I will be ready to make that
available to you. On the other hand, if I need any document that will
re -assure me that you will not make away with my share of the money,
I will demand it from you and I trust that you will oblige me with
such document or documents.
These are the details on how we can get the money transferred safely
to your nominated account anywhere.What is now remaining and what I
will like you to do is this,since this money has been in the suspense
account of our bank and as our general auditing that is coming up any
time from now, the money has been here for so long and nobody knows
about this fund, if we leave the money there after the auditing the
bank will take the money, it is still the same if we claim it. because
the real beneficiary (deceased) is a foreigner, we will need to employ
a foreigner(you) to act as the beneficiary of the fund and next of kin
to the deceased, this is why we need your assistance as a foreigner to
claim this funds.
This transaction will not take more that ten working days if only you
can follow it up the way i want it. But you have to assure me that I
am not misplacing my trust in you concerning this matter. Having been
in the banking circle for more than two decades now, I want you to
have in mind that I intend to use only very secure and legitimate
banking procedures in line with Nigerian inheritance claim Act" and
how it concerns this kind of transaction to move this money out of my
bank in your name as the beneficiary.
We will employ the service of two influential attorneys who will
provide you with the necessary documents, which we will need to
actualize this deal. The first attorney who happens to be the attorney
of the late owner of the funds will move ahead immediately to procure
the last WILL and TESTAMENT of the late owner on your behalf,thereby
stating you as the heir to the funds, after the second attorney will
be contacted to procure the Legal Letter of Probate from the law court
mandting my bank to ac according to the WILL, so you see that the
bedrock of this transaction is the Letter of Probate which will enable
my bank to release the funds to you as the beneficiary/Next of Kin.
This way we will realize this payment. so you need not to fear for
this transaction it is 100% risk free for both of us, now and in the
future. for our many years of service, this is the only thing we can
lay our hand on. this is a genuine business transaction, and i appeal
to you to take it serious and see it as a legal business.
On your side, you do not have much to do,I need to re-confirm the
following informations to me again;
1.To provide your full name and address so that we can send it to the
first attorney who will procure the WILL start the preparation of the
needed documents.And i will then give you the contact of the second
attorney that will represent you here to procure the letter of probate
for your claim.
2. Also to provide your telephone, fax and mobile number for more
effective communication.
3. Occupation and age
The sharing mode will be 40% of the total amount will be yours for
your assistance while 60% will be mine and you have to keep it safe in
your account till i come over to your country for investment after my
resignation from the bank. We have no time in regards to this business
before the eye of the Nigerian Financial Control takes it to the purse
of the Government. I will be coming to your country or sending a
representative to come and get my own share from you after you're
confirmation that the money is under your control.
It is my desire to meet with you face to face and have a heart to
heart discussion before taking on this business but actually you
should know that i am a civil servant [manager of the bank] an
opportunity to travel can not be granted to me twice as i planned to
come to your country a day or two days before the fund reflects in
your account and that will be the only time i can take one month
medical check up to be with you for sharing and possible investment.
we should be having a daily communication so that you should be
monitoring the daily progress of the business for you to know when the
money will be credited in your account.
I am waiting for your urgent reply an email message that you have
received these documents.
God Bless,
Mr.Patrick Ogwala
Managing Director
Global Bank Plc.Nigeria.
Port Harcourt Branch.
