Dear MISHRA,
I am Mr. Musa Idris, Divisional Head Operations, with the International
Trust Bank Plc. I was personal account manager to one late Engr. muha
mishra, of your country, who till his death was a contractor with
Impresario Nigeria Limited, Moenier Oil & Gas Consult and Nigerian Ports
authority.
On the 4th of May, 2002, Engr. muha mishra, his wife and their two children
were involved in a plane crash and all passengers on board and the crew
unfortunately lost their lives.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1968616.stm At the time of his
death, muha had a deposit of $15.6 Million, which was; proceed of a contract
work he just concluded with the Nigerian Ports authority. The payment was
made with an Eco bank cheque, which I personally cleared.
Unfortunately, till this moment no one has come as his relation for his
deposit with us. Since it is over five years, the money will be handed over
to the government if no body comes to lay claim of the money as the
beneficiary/next of kin to the account owner according to governing rules of
the bank. I humbly request your attention to this matter so that I can
present you as his next of kin or beneficiary to his deposit. It is not a
very difficult thing to do especially as you share the same last name with
him and it will not take time too. All we need is to change the name and
particulars of his next of kin to yours in our computer database and we file
in an application for the release of the fund through the Probate Office in
your name.
It does not necessarily mean that you must be here to conclude the deal; we
may request that the money be sent to Europe for payment. Please contact me
as quickly as possible on the above email address or on this alternative
email address;musa1idris@myway.comWe will talk about the sharing ratio as
soon as you get in touch with me.
Kind regards,
Musa Idris
