Subject: I have reposed my confidence in you
From the Desk of: Mr.Richard White
{GM, Corporate & Investment Banking}
Chartered Bank Plc, Nigeria.
Dear Friend,
Permit me to introduce myself to you. My name is Mr Mr.Richard White, GM,
Corporate & Investment Banking with Chartered Bank Plc, Nigeria.
Lagos-Nigeria. This letter may come to you as a surprise since it is coming
from someone you have not met before and due to high volume of Spam mail
that goes around the world through this means but I have no other choice
than to send it to you through the internet means, Therefore, I will
appreciate it if you honor it and give me all your trust and full
co-operation.
I came to know about you in my private search for a reliable person/company
to handle a confidential transaction on behalf of my Colleagues and myself.
As a matter of fact, I got your contact from the world trade center (WTC)
Regional office in Lagos, Nigeria.Although the details of my intention was
not made known to them.
Proposition An America Mr. Morris Park,who is an America oil
consultant/contractor with NNPC had in our Bank the sum of US$45.5m in a
domiciliary account Number:14-2558-2004,who unfortunately lost his life in
the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31
2000, including his wife and only daughter leaving nobody to claim the
money.He named his wife, as the next of kin. Unfortunately, two of them died
in a plane crash you can confirm it yourself via website :
site;http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
Efforts had been made by the management of my Bank through the American
Embassy in Lagos to contact any of the deceased children but to no avail, as
we were made to understand that the couple had no children. Given the
skeletal information available to the Bank, it has so far been impossible to
reach any of the relatives. The option left for the Bank management is to
declare the deceased account dormant and revert the funds to trading on
behalf of and in the interest of the Bank.
In Nigeria, and almost all other parts of African continent, when Banks
acquire funds such as that of Mr. Morris Park,they are required by law to
donate 30% of the funds on acquisition to The Trust Fund purchased with
funds from the Trust Fund are used to further enhance the course buying of
housing and imortation of good.
It is therefore in order to avoid/avert and discourage this negative
development that my Colleagues and I now seek your assistance to have you
stand as a distant relative {Next Of Kin} to Mr. Morris Park,so that the
funds would be released to you. All documents and proofs to enable you get
the funds will be carefully packaged once we receive your consent on this
proposal.
May I assured you that this Transaction is 100% safe and risk-free, as we
have taken care of all necessary modalities to ensure a hitch-free
transaction. I have the authority of my partners involved in this
transaction to propose that should you be willing to assist us in the
transaction your share would be 40% of the US$45.5million, 60% for us. I
have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me.
Best Regards.
Mr.Richard White
{GM, Corporate & Investment Banking}.
