Subject: ATTENTION: DEAR FRIEND
Company name: FIRST APEX TRUST BANK
Name:Mr. Martin Joseph.
Address: plote 54, ajose adeogun str.P.oBox 75318
Victoria/Island Lagos Nigeria.
Dear FRIEND,
How are you and your family?. I came to know you through my search for a
reliable, transparent and trustworthy person or partner to assist me execute
a vital private and confidential business transaction as stated below.
I am Mr. Martin Joseph, the Accountant Auditor General, FIRST APEX TRUST
BANK, During the Audit report of last year, I discovered an account that has
been dominant for the past 3 years, owned by a foreigner who worked with
Shell Petroleum Development Company in Nigeria (SPDC} as the Engineering
Director, after series of enquiries i was meant to understand that the
depositor died On the 21st of April 2002 in a motor accident, with his wife
and two Children who were supposed to be the next of kin to his deposit.
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since
you are a foreigner. So that the proceeds of this account valued at
Seventeen Million United States Dollars {$17,000,000.00) can be paid to your
nominated account in our favour. At 50% to me and 50% to you. The management
and board of directors of Trade Bank International Plc has issued a notice
to provide the next of kin or have the account frozen and I know that they
will surely not rest until they finally froze his fund. Instead of this fund
to be frozen or converted to our Federal Government Treasury for importation
of Arms for war, i deemed it more useful and better to work it out into your
account in our favour.
I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back-up your
claim as the next of kin.This we must achieve with your sincere co-operation
to ensure that this fund is not wasted or ends up in the hands of people
that like war. I hope you understand me very well. All I require is your
honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law, this I promise.
Send me Your full name and address, Company name and address, Telephone and
fax numbers, A scanned copy of your international passport or driver's
license.
This will enable me place you as the rightful beneficiary of this fund
and also to help me write and application for claim of this fund in
your name. If we work with one spirit and work as a team also if you
adhere to my instructions in the next ten working days the funds will get
into your account
Awaiting your urgent response.
Mr. Martin Joseph
Accountant Auditor General
