Subject: SEEKING FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE
ATTN:
Dear Sir/M,
I am Alhaji Mohamad Danjuma. a consulting auditor of a Bank in West Africa
in west africa. I have the courage to Crave indulgence for this important
business believing that you will never let me down either now or in the
future. Some years ago, an American Mining consultant/ contractor with the
Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation,made a numbered time (fixed)deposit
for twelve calendar months, valued $42M.USD (FORTY TWO MILLION US DOLLARS)
in an account. On maturity, The bank sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, The bank sent another
reminder and finally his contract employers, the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation wrote to inform the bank that he died without MAKING A WILL, and
all attempts by the American Embassy to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore, made further investigation and discovered that the beneficiary
was an immigrant from Jamaica and only recently obtained American
citizenship. He did not declare any
kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank deposit
paper work. This
money total amount$42M.USD ( FORTY TWO MILLION US DOLLARS)is still sitting
in my bank as dormant Account. No one will ever come forward to claim it,
and according to Nigerian Banking policy, after some years, the money will
revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if the account owner is
certified dead. This is the situation, and my proposal is that I am looking
for a foreigner who will stand in as the next of kin to beneficiary, and
OPEN a Bank Account abroad to facilitate the transfer of this money.
This is simple, all you have to do is to OPEN an account anywhere in the
world and send me its detail for me to arrange the proper money transfer
paperwork, and facilitate the transfer.The money will then be paid into this
Account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me, 35 % for you and 5% for
expenses that might come up during transfer process. There is no risk at
all, and all the paper work for this transaction will be done by me using my
position and connections in the banks in Nigeria. This business transaction
is guaranteed.And the first
phase of the transfer will be ($4M.USD) FOUR MILLION DOLLARS as advised by
our insider in the bank.If you are interested, please reply immediately
through my personal email sending the following details:
(1) Your Full Name/Address
(2) Your Private Telephone/fax Number.
Please observe the utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require
your assistance to invest some of my share in your country. I look forward
to your earliest reply.
Yours,
Alhaji Mohamad Danjuma.
