Invitation to act as Next-of-Kin:
I write this august letter in confidence, believing that it will reach you
in high spirit and I believe you will maintain the level of confidence and

The Proposal: A Citizen of your country, Late Engr.David Chang,a
Petrochemical Engineer with Eleme Petro-Chemical Co. Rivers State. Until his
death in ADC plan crash in November 2000, operated a domiciliary account
with us and had a closing balance as at the end of September 2000 amounting
to $15 500.000.00 ( Fifteen Million Five hundred Thousand,United States
Dollars
Only).
Valueable efforts have been made by Diamond Bank Plc to get in touch with
any of late David's family as beneficiary to his estates was without
success. It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to
locate any of Late Engr.David's next of kin, since he had no wife or
children that is known to the bank at the time of his death that informed
the chairman and the board of Directors to declare the fund Unclaimed and
transfer it to special trust fund for purchase of arms and ammunition for
ECOMOG soldiers in sierra Leone and Liberia zones in the East Africa
sub-regions. In other to avert this negative development, I now seek your
permission to have you stand as next of kin to the estate of late Engr.
David, so that the fund $15, 500.000.00 Million will be released and paid
into any of your account as beneficiary/next of kin.
I have secured from the probate registry an order of mandamus to locate any
of the deceased beneficiary and more so, I am assuring you that this
transaction is risk free. Once the fund is moved to your nominated account,
you will be entitle to 30%. Your share stays while 10% out of the total
money will be mapped out for any expenditure we might in the course of this
transaction and the rest will be for me and some people I will settle here.
You will be entitled to substantial part from my percentage, in trust for
investment. As soon as I receive your acceptance in principle, I will
furnish you with the necessary modalities for commencement.
Finally, I am relying in my confidence in you, having opened up to you, to
forward your contact address,tel/fax number to enable us commence
immediately.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.James Wetauba.
