Subject Matter: 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 trust matters of this nature
requires. Though, I know that this proposal may make you
apprehensive and worried, but I assure you that
all will be well at the end. Before proceeding, I wish to
introduce myself.
I am adams phillip Deputy General Manager, (Credit Controls)
with Standard Trust Bank Limited, Lagos. I got your contact
from a reliable fellow.
The Proposal:
An American Citizen, Late Engr. Roy A Bruce, a Petrochemical
Engineer with Eleme Petrol-Chemical Co. Rivers State. Until his
death in ADC plane crash in November 2000, operated a
domiciliary account with us and had a closing balance as at the
end of September 2000 amounting to $10,500,000.00
(Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars
Only), the bank now expects a next of kin as beneficiary to no
avail. Valuable efforts have been made by Standard Trust Bank
Plc to get in touch with any of late Roy A Bruce's family as
beneficiary to his estates without success.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to
locate any of Late Engr. Roy A Bruce's next of kin, since he
had no wife or children that is known to the bank.
Consequently, the chairman and the board of Directors are
planning 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. Roy A Bruce, so that
the fund $10,500,000.00 will be released and paid into your
account as beneficiary's next of kin.
I will help to arrange all documents and proves to enable us
get this fund out. 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 35%. Your share stays while the rest 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.
If however you are not interested, please feel free to destroy
this information as I will continue to scout for willing
partner(s). But if the spirit moves you and you want to help
me, then reply this mail.
Yours Faithfully,
adams phillip
