Dear Jaya,
With all due respect to your personality, I request that you do not feel
disturbed as I know that business of this magnitude will surely make one
apprehensive.
I write to solicit your utmost confidence, knowing too well that we have
neither known nor met each other before, but because you and the late
Mr.JAYA GOON are from the same country. Having searched through the
internet,from where I got your email address, I hereby request that you
become the Next of Kin to the late customer of our bank,Late Mr. JACK GOON,
who died in West Africa here and abandoned a fixed deposit of Nine Million,
Five Hundred Thousand United States dollars(USD $ 9.500.000.00), without a
specified next of kin to inherit the deposit at the time of his death.
My name is HENRY DIEPREIYE.I am an accountant and the accounting officer to
MR JAYA GOON in the CONTINENTAL BANK .In the financial Laws of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria, the holding bank is required to repatriate any
abandoned fund by a foreigner if nobody comes to claim the said funds after
three (3) years of the confirmation of the death of the depositor. For the
past three years,all the effort of our Customer Service Department to trace
any relative of the Late Mr. JAYA GOON has proved abortive. I do not want
this funds to go into the hands of our corrupt government officials,who have
embezzled our national funds all these years.
My interest in this abandoned deposit is as follows:
1) To see that this abandoned deposit is not handed over to the
corruptgovernment officials of President Olusegun Obasanjo.
2) To make you the Next of Kin to the late Mr. JAYA GOON and whom he has
willed the said deposit before his death.
3) To ensure that the deposited funds is transferred to your account as your
INHERITANCE? so that the proceeds of this account valued at Nine Million,
Five Hundred Thousand United States dollar (USD$9.500.000.00) can be paid to
you and then you and I can share this money. 60% to me and 35% to you,while
5% should be for expenses or tax as your Government may require.
4) To ensure that my own share of it is invested wisely in your country in
any viable area of investment.Bear in mind that the entire transaction will
be risk- free and legitimate since the funds will be coming to you as your
INHERITANCE.
If this proposition is acceptable by you, respond to me ASAP but if not
acceptable by you, do not take advantage of it to betray me.Remember that
doing business over the Internet could sometimes be unconfidential. If
acceptable by you, send me your private telephone and fax numbers for me to
call you for detailed discussion.
Henry Diepreiye
