Subject: FROM ME MIKE
AMAZING GRACE PLAZA,
Plots 2E-4E, Ligali Ayorinde Street,
Victoria Island, Lagos,
Dear Sir
I am MR MIKE MOMOH JONHSONI work with GLOBAL BANK PLC . I have urgent and
very confidential business proposition for you. Nor of my wokers should
know about this transaction please keep it confindential.
On June 22, 1999, A Saudi Arabian Oil Consultant/ Contractor with the
Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Ayad Salameh made a numbered
time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$60,500,000.00
(Sixty Million, Five hundred Thousand US Dollars only) in my branch.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered
from his contract employers, the Nigeria National
Petroleum Corporation that Mr. Ayad Salameh died from an automobile
crash.
On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a "WILL",
and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I
therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Ayad Salameh
did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paper work in my Bank.
This sum of US$60,500,000.00 only is still sitting in my Bank and the
interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each
year. No one will ever come forward to claim it.
According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money
will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody
applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a Foreigner to stand
in as the next of kin to Mr. Ayad Salamehso that the fruits of this old
man's labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government
officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names,
Tel/Fax numbers and address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary
documents and affidavits, which will put you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the service of the late deceased Attorney, for drafting and
notarization of the "WILL" and to obtain the necessary documents and
letter of probate/administration in your favour
for the transfer.
A Bank Account in any part of the world which you will provide will then
facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of
kin. The money will be paid into your Account for us to share in the ratio
of 60% for me and 40% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be
done by the Attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction.
If you are interested, please reply immediately Upon your response, I shall
then provide you with more details and relevant documents that
will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of usbecause I shall require
your assistance to invest my share in your country. Thanks and regards.
MR MIKE MOMOH
