Hello,
I am MR Mark Uzoma , PERSONNEL ASSISTANT to Mr. Hubert Sorg, a national of your country, who used to be a contractor to Nigerian Petroleum company (NNPC) .
I obtained your address particulars from an Internet address listing. Please exercise some patience and read through my message. THIS IS NOT A SPAM MAIL!. I have very urgent and confidential business proposition for you. On the 21st of April 2002, my Boss,Mr. Hubert Sorg ,his wife and his only SON, were involved in a car accident along ABUJA/Lagos ExpressRoad.Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, Since then I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of his extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
On June 6th 1997, My Boss,Mr. Hubert Sorg Who was an Oil Consultant/Contractor with Shell Petroluem Corporation, made a numbered time ( fixed) deposit for 12 calendar months, value USD18,500,000.00 in one of the banks in Nigeria. On maturity, The Bank sent a routine notification to my Boss forwarding address and I received it and noticed that it was letter of notification investment maturity he made with the Bank. After a month, The Bank sent a reminder and finally, I had to inform the Bank Of My Boss death through my Boss"s contract employers, Shell Petroluem company who wrote to inform the bank that my Boss Mr. Hubert Sorg died from an automobile accident; that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to tracemy Boss next of kin were fruitless.
However, the point is that no body is aware of this money , and therefore it can be safely assumed that no one will ever come forward to claim this money. This money total USD18.5m ( inclusive of accrued interests) is still sitting in the Bank in the Dormant Account Portfolio. No one will ever come forward to claim it now, and according to Nigerian law, after 5 years, the money will automatically revert to the Federal Government Treasury if the Account owner is a foreigner, is certified dead , and there is no valid claim. This indeed, is the situation.
My proposal therefore is that I am looking for a foreigner who will stand in as the next of kin to Mr.Hubert Sorg It is not necessary to be a blood relation to Mr.Hubert Sorg, nor have the same name. It is not also necessary to come from the same Country. I have worked out the modalities to achieve my aim of appointing a next of kin, and therefore also by this means transfer this money total USD18.5m abroad for us to share.
The method of achieving the objective of transferring this money abroad in a completely legal and proper way is simple. I intend to use a n Attorney (representing you as BENEFICIARY) to execute a series of affidavits in support of your claim. These will be approved. The money transfer paperwork itself will include a certificate of origin so that the receiving bank does not ask questions or refuse the money as money laundering. Also, the paperwork will include proper certification that the funds being transferred are from non criminal sources. In short this will be a proper and legal money transfer and there is no risk! I will have to process the initial paperwork to obtain approval from the Probate Registry ( Ministry of Justice ) to obtain the Letter of Administration empowering you as Sole trustee/executor to the Estate of Mr.Hubert Sorg
If you therefore agree to be the official Beneficiary, then please note that you will not be required to sign any Money Transfer Documents ( An Attorney will do all (that), you will not be required to come to Nigeria. Only the following is required from you: (1) Send to me immediately A bank account ( a bank account with zero credit balance is ok) (2) Complete name and address of the Bank (3) Bank Account Number (4) Name of Account Holder/Beneficiary (5) Your address, phone and fax
Once you send me the requested information as above, I will initiate the processing of the approvals of the transfer and in about 14 working days the money total USD18.5m will be in your nominated bank account for us to share in the ratio of 65% for me and 35% for you. This transaction is guaranteed to succeed without any problems. If you agree to assist me by sending me the above requested information, I will give you my complete address, including phone/ fax etc and any further clarifications you may require. Looking forward to your urgent reply.please call me
please reply through this email address:
Sincerely yours,
Mark Uzoma
