TRUST.
Dear Friend ,
I am an Account Officer with CITY TRUST BANK PLC, My name is Musa Williams,a
Banker. I am the personal Account Manager Of my Late Engr {.A.S.}, a
National of your country, who used to work with an Oil servicing Firm in
Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my client, On April 21,2002
my client, was involved in a car accident along Sagamu express way. All
occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have
made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my client's extended
Relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last name
over to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.I have
contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind
by my client before they Get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
bank where this huge deposits were lodged, particularly the (CITY TRUST BANK
PIC) Where the deceased had an account Valued at about ($10.5million us
dollars) has Issued me a notice to provide the next of kin. Or have the
account confiscated within the next ten official working day, The Nigeria
Banking Law on unclaimed benefits stipulates under section 7 subsections 10
cap.15 that once such unclaimed benefits have over- stayed a maximum period
of three (3)years, the account will become dormant and the money will be
confisicated.
And uptill now no body has come to claim the money for the last two years
and our bank has been notifying the Rotary club for the past one year.In
order to avert this negative development, I now seek your permission to have
you stand as a "NEXT-OF-KIN" to the Late Beneficiary so that the funds
US$10.5M will be released and paid into your bank account as the beneficiary
"NEXT- OF-KIN" for our mutual benefits. I am assuring you that this
transaction will be executed under
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Dear friend, because of my position as indigene its impossible for me to
claim directly,which is why your involvement was solicited.This transaction
is alifetime opportunity,which we cannot afford to lose. However, it wasn
deliberately designed to benefit me and you.Since I have been unsuccessful
in locating the relatives for over 2 years now,
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so
that this account valued at ($ 10.5 million us dollars) can be paid to you
.The sharing modality is still open and negociatable.All I require is your
honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.I guarantee that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrange ment that will protect you.
from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me by my
email:(musawilliams77@yahoo.com.mx) you are adviced to send me your full
name,telephone/fax number,mailing address,age and occupation based on trust
and honesty and as soon as i get that i shall send to you a TEXT OF
APPLICATION which you will send to the bank proposing for claims and
release of this fund.
Best Regards,
Mr Musa Williams.
