I have a new email address!You can now email me at: princeudoka50@yahoo.ca
From: PRINCE UDOKA.
AFRICAN CONTINENTAL BANK (ACB).
Dear Friend,
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.Jack Young 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
Young, 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 PRINCE UDOKA.I am an accountant and the accounting officer
to the Jack Young in the AFRICAN CONTINENTAL BANK PLC. (ACB). 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. Jack
Young has proved abortive. I do not want this funds to go into the
hands of our corrupt government officials,who haveembezzled 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. Jack Young 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 telephoneand fax numbers for
me to call you for detailed discussion.
