Dear Friend,
Let me start by introducing myself properly to you. I am John A. Sekibo an accountant with Universal Trust Bank 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 and co-operation.
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 am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. We have decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction, as we have been reliably informed of your discreetness and ability in transaction of this nature.
THE POSITION OF THE FUND:
A foreigner and National of your country ,who was an oil merchant with the FederalGovernment of Nigeria,until his death in Kenya Air Bus (A310 - 300) Flight KQ430, Banked with us at Universal Trust Bank plc, Lagos and has a closing balance as at the end of Sept.2002 worth (15.45 Million U.S Dollars).(Fifteen million, four Hundred and fifty Thousand United States Dollars), the bank now expects a next of kin as a beneficiary.
Valuable efforts are being made by the Universal Trust Bank Plc of Nigeria to get in touch with any of the deceased's family or relatives but to no avail. It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any of his relatives [He had no wife or children that is known to us],the management underthe influence of our chairman and members of the board of directors have made all arrangements to declare the fund {Unclaimed} and subsequently be donated to the trust fund for arms and ammunition to further enhance the course of war in Africa.
In order to avert this negative development, some of my trusted colleagues and I now seek your permission to you stand as next of kin to the dead man so that the fund (15.45 Million U.S Dollars).will be released and paid into your account as the beneficiary's next of kin.
All documents and proofs to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked out. We have been ordered to locate any of the deceased's beneficiary and more so we are assuring you that the transaction is 100% risk free.
Your share of the total sum of the fund is 40%, while the rest will 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 business proposal, we would furnish you with the necessary modalities and disbursement ratio to suit both parties.
If this proposal is acceptable by you,indicate by sending the following information;
1} Your full name.
2} Your residential address
3} Your private telephone number
4} Your fax number.
Have my best regards and God bless you.
John A.Sekibo.
