I have a new email address!You can now email me at: chris.ubanah2@yahoo.ca
Hello Dear,
I am sending you this private email to make a passionate appeal to you
for assistance. Kindly accept my apology for contacting you this way
and forgive me
if this is not acceptable to you. My name is Chris Ubanah ; I am an
auditor at one of the NIGERIAN BANK.
On Tuesday, 19 January, 1999, one Dr. H. Paul Jacobi a foreigner, made
a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit, valued at $35,000,000.00 (Thirty five thousand US Dollars
) for twelve calendar months in my Bank Branch. Upon Maturity, we sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder
and finally we discovered from his company that Dr. Paul A. Jacobi was aboard the Egypt Air
Flight 990,which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on October 31, 1999. After further
investigation, it was discovered that he died without making a WILL and all attempts to
trace his next of kin
proved abortive.
On further investigation, it was discovered that Late Dr. Paul A. Jacobi did not declare any
next of kin or relatives in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paper work
here in our Bank. The total sum, $35,000,000.00 is still in my bank and the interest is being
rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to
claim it.
In accordance with my country's banking laws and constitution, at the
expiration of 6 (six) years, the money will revert to the Government
treasury if nobodyapplies as the next of Kin to claim the funds. Consequently, I shall present
you as a foreign partner to stand in as the next of kin to the
late Dr. Paul A. Jacobi. Upon acceptance of this proposal, I shall send
to you the STANDARD CHARTERED BANK OF NIGERIA "Next of Kin Payment Application Form"
as well as detailed information on how this transaction would be carried out. We shall
employ the services of a solicitor for the drafting of the LAST WILL & TESTAMENT of Late Dr.
Paul A. Jacobi and to obtain all other relevant papers in your name for the necessary
documentation
for payment approval in my bank headquarters in your favour. The money
will be shared in the ratio: 60% for me and my colleagues, 30% for you
and 10% would be set aside to offset all expenses in course of the
transfer.
I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law as I and my colleagues
will use my position to guarantee the successful execution of this
transaction. Please be informed that your utmost confidentiality is required.
Should this proposal meet your interests respond back immediately.
Awaiting your urgent response.
Respectfully,
Dr. Chris Ubanah
