Good day
I am Mr. Rasheed mohammed, Branch Manager of Union Bank Plc Marina
Lagos-Nigeria . I have a proposition for you. An american Oil
consultant/contractor with the Nigeria Solid Minerals Corporation,
{Mr.Glenn . B. Hatleberg} made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve
calendar months, valued at US$15,750,000.00
(Fifteen Million, Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars) in my branch.
Upon maturity, I 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 contract employers, the Nigeria Solid Minerals Corporation that
Mr.Glenn . B. Hatleberg died in a plane crash along with his wife, Barbara
Hatleberg in february
2000,http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/.On further
investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all
attempts to trace his next of kin have been fruitless as Mr.Glenn B.
Hatleberg did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official
documents, including his Bank Deposit paper work in my Bank. This sum of
US$15,750,000.00 is still sitting 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. According to Laws of Nigeria, at the expiration of
5 (five) years which is this year, the money will revert to the ownership of
the Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently, my
proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of
kin to Mr.Glenn . B. Hatleberg so that the fruits of this old man's labor
will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is
simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address
so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits
that will put you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of
the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents in your favor for the
transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide
will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the
beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to
share in the ratio of 70% for me and 30% for you. There is no risk at all
as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and
my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of
this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the
private email address below.Upon your response, I shall then provide you
with more details and relevant documents to prove the authenticity and this
will help you understand the transaction more.
Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy
communication. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured
that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I
shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country, reply me
via email :
Best Regards,
Mr. Rasheed Mohammed
