Subject: WE CAN DO THIS
*OFFICE OF THE MANAGER,*
*BILLS AND EXCHANGE,*
*FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT,*
*UNION BANK PLC.*

Dear Sir,
I am *Dr. Frank Anado,* The manager, Bills and Exchange at the Foreign
Remittance Department of the Union Bank Plc.
I am writing this letter to ask for your support and co-operation to carry
out this business opportunity in my department. We discovered an abandoned
sum of $26,00, 000.00 (Twenty-six million United States Dollars) in an
account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his
entire family of a wife and two children in November 1999 in a Plane crash.
Since we heard of his death, we have been expecting his next-of-kin to come
over and put claims for his money as the heir, because we cannot release the
fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to
the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Unfortunately, neither
their family member nor distant relative has ever appeared to claim the said
fund. Upon this discovery, I and other officials in my department have
agreed to do business with you and release the total amount into your
account as the heir of the fund since no one has come for it or discovered
he maintained an account with our bank, otherwise the fund will be returned
to the banks treasury as unclaimed fund. We have agreed that our ratio of
sharing will be as stated thus: 5 % for you as foreign partner, 90% for us
the officials in my department and 5 % for the settlement of all local and
foreign expenses incurred by us and you during the course of this business.
Upon the successful completion of this transfer, I and one of my colleagues
will come to your country and take our share. To commence this transaction,
we require you to immediately indicate your interest by a return e-mail and
enclose the following information:-
1.*Your private telephone number and Fax number*.
You are to send this information to my email address to enable us file
letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals
before the transfer can be made.
Note also, this transaction must be kept STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL because of
its nature. I look forward to receiving your prompt response.
Yours Faithfully,
*Dr. Frank Anado.
