Subject: Urgent Attention Needed,
Hello,
Let me start by introducing myself properly to you. I am the manager Bills
and Exchange of Foreign Remittance office of African Express Banking
Corporation plc (A.E.B.C. Headquarters Lagos Nigeria) formally Barclays
Bank of England(BBE-England]. In accordance with Federal Government
Policies, on indeginlization Law on company and Allied matters, of Jan 1972.
I am writing you this letter to ask for your support and co-operation to
carry out this transaction. The bank discovered an abandoned sum of US$25.5
million (twenty five million five hundred thousand US Dollars) in an
account that belongs to one of our Foreign customer ,a national of your
country, who used to be a financial controller with Shell Oil development
company in Nigeria. Him and His wife and their three children were involved
in a plane crash, November 2000. Since this development, we have advertised
for his next of kin or any close relation to come forward to claim this
money, but nobody came to apply for the claim.
To this effect, I have decided to look for a trusted foreign partner who can
stand in as the next of kin to the deceased and claim this money. I need a
foreign partner to apply for the claim because of the fact that the customer
was a foreigner and we don't want this money to go into the Banks Treasury
as unclaimed fund.
NOTE: You do not have to be directly related to the deceased, in order to
assist me in carrying out this transaction.Every document to effect this
process will emanate from my table and I will perfect every document to be
in accordance with the banking law and guidelines, So you have nothing to
worry about. I and my coleagues agreed that 50% of the money will be for
you, while 50% will be for me and my coleagues. If you are going to help
me, indicate by replying this letter and putting in your private
phone,mobile and fax numbers for easy communicating, I await your kind
response,Please if you are interested and capable in handling this deal with
me, due reply only on my alternative email address for security reasons
(galadimaa1960@yahoo.com.mx ) And note that the nurture of this deal
needs a very top secrecy.
I await your immediate reply to enable us start this transaction in
earnest.Once I receive your reply, I will send you the Text of Application
for immediate of claim.
Thanks for your anticipated assistance.
