FROM THE DESK OF,
MR CHRISTIAN PETERS,
AUDIT MANAGER,
UNION BANK NIGERIA PLC,
STALLION PLAZA LGS.
TEL:234-80-550-727-90.
Dear Friend,
Happy new year in advance and compliment of the day, how is life general
with you? Of course it is my humble wish to solicit and crave your
indulgence to make this project request for a joint business transaction
that I hope will not come to you as a surprise, hence I plead for your
pardon.
I am christian peters, the Auditing and Accounting Unit, Foreign Operations
Department Union Bank Of Nig, PLC. I have an urgent and confidential
business proposal for you. On June 6, 1999, an Australian oil
consultant/contractor with via National Petroleum cooperation (NNPC) made a
numbered time (fixed) deposit for twelve calenderer month valued at
US$15.500.000.00(Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) in my
branch.
On maturity, We sent a routine notification to his forwarded address but got
no reply after months we send a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employee (Nigeria national petroleum Corporation) that he died from
an automobile accident. On further investigation, it was clear that he died
without making a will. All attempts by the Australian to trace his next of
kin were fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Late Engr. Steve
Moore did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official
documents including his deposit document in my bank. The total sum of
US$15,500,000.00 is still in my bank as dormant acct. No one will ever come
forward to claim it. According to Nigerian banking law, after Seven years,
the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government. If the
account owner is certified death and nobody comes forward to claim it.
This is the situation, and my proposal is that I am looking for a foreigner
who will stand in as the beneficiary/next of kin. This is simple. All you
have to do is to immediately send me the details of a bank account anywhere
in the world for me to arrange the proper money transfer document. The money
will then be transferred into the account for us to share in the ration of
60% for me 30% for you while the remaining 10% will be set aside for
expenses incurred within here and there.
There is no risk involved. I am using my position and connection in the bank
here to do all the document work for the transaction. We shall employ the
services of an attorney to draft the will and obtain all necessary documents
and letter of administration in your favors for the transfer. This
transaction is risk free guaranteed. If you are interested, please reply
immediately confidentiality and be rest assured that this transaction could
be most profitable for both of us.
Please do not expose this deal if you are not interested because if you do,
it will take me out ofseat. And for your interest to do this business with
me kindly reply me immediately with your private telephone number.
Have a nice day.
christian peters.
