Dear Friend,
First I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue
of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. Though I know
that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and
worried, but I assure you that all will be well at the end of the day. I
have decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction, as we
have been reliably informed of your discreet and able nature in transaction
of this nature.
My name is Mr. Edward Ubako the General Manager of Bank of North Nigeria
PLC Lagos.
I came to know you in my Private Search for a Reliable and Reputable Person
to handle this Confidential Transaction, which involves the transfer of Huge
sum of Money to a Foreign Account requiring Maximum Confidence.
The proposition; A foreigner an Australian, Late Engr. GEORGE WILSON an Oil
Contractor with the Federal Government of Nigeria, until his death months
ago in Kenya Air Bus (A310-300) Flight KQ431, Banked with us at Bank of
North Plc, Lagos and had a closing balance as at the end of September, 2000
worth US$45,000,000(forty five million United State Dollars).
The bank now expects a next of kin as beneficiary. Valuable efforts are
being made by the Bank to get in touch with any of his family or relatives
but to no success. It is because of the perceived possibility of not being
able to locate any of George's next of kin (He had no wife or children that
is known to us).
The Management under the influence of our Chairman and Members of the Board
of Directors have arranged for the fund to be declared "Unclaimed" and
subsequently be donated to a trust fund for election rigging. In order to
avert this negative development some of my trusted colleagues and I now seek
your permission to have you stand as next of kin to Late Engr. George Wilson
so that the
fund US$45 million will be released and paid into your account as the
beneficiary's next of kin. All documents and proves to enable you get his
fund will be carefully worked out.
We have secured an order of madamus to locate any of the deceased
beneficiaries, and more so we are assuring you that this business is 100%
Risk Free involvement. Your share stays while the rest be for myself and my
colleagues for investment purpose. According to agreement within both
parties. As soon as we receive an acknowledgement of receipt of this message
in acceptance of our mutual busines proposal,
we would furnish you with the necessry modalities and disbursement ratio to
suite both parties without any conflict. While replying furnish me with your
private phone numbers for easy communication. If this
proposal is acceptable by you, do not make undue advantage of the trust we
have bestowed on you.
Best regards,
Edward Ubako
