Subject: VERY URGENT
From.The Desk of Dr Paul Njoku
Auditing And Accounting Unit
Union Bank of Nigeria Plc
16 Marina Lagos
Nigeria.
Compliments of the day and how is life generally with you? Of course it is my humble wish to solicit and crave your indulgence to make this project request for
a joint business transaction which I hope will not come to you as asurrpise,hence i plead for your pardon.
I am Dr Paul Njoku, in the Auditing and Accounting Unit. Foreign Operations Department Union Bank Of Nig. Plc. I have an urgent and confidential business proposal which you might be interested in.
On April 14th 2001,Engr Steve Moore made a fixed deposit of USD15.500.000.00 [Fifteen million five hundred thousand US Dollars} in my branch.on maturity,I sent a routine notification to his forwarded address but got no reply after months we sent a reminder and finally I discovered from his contract employee Empire Construction Corporation {ECC} that Late Engr Steve
Moore died from an automobile accident..On further investigation it was clear that he died without making a Will,.all attempts by the Australian Embassy to trace his next of kin were fruitless.I therefore made further inquireries and discovered that late Engr.Steve Moore did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents including his deposit document in my bank.The total sum of USD15.5M is still in the bank as dormant acct.No one will ever come forward to
claim it.According to Nigerian banking law,after five years,the money will revert into the account of the Nigerian Government.That is,If the account owner is
certified death and nobody comes forward to claim it.This is the situation ,and my proposal is that I need a reliable someone ,a foreigner who will stand in
as the beneficiary/next of kin.Someone who will lay a trust worthy proof first,before any step in this transaction is taken.The money will be shared in the ratio of 40 percent and 60 percent that is for you and I respectively.There is no risk involved.I am using my position and connection in the bank here to do all the
document work for the transaction.we shall employ the services of an attorney to obtain necessary documents and letter of administration in your favour for the
transfer.This transaction is risk free guaranteed.
As you reply,give me your words that you will be nice to me because this will make a great change to our lives positively and can as well land me into a big trouble if a great care is not taken.
I await your urgent reply.
Best regards
Dr Paul Njoku
