Attn Sir,
I want to transfer ($21,000.000.00 USD) Twenty one million United States
Dollars from a INTERCONTINENTAL BANK, here to oversea account. First, I must
solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction. This is by virtue of
it's nature as being utterly confidential. I am sure and have confidence of
your ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction of this great
magnitude.
I solicit your assistance to enable us transfer the said amount into your
safe account for onward investment. You can either provide us with an
existing account or to set up a new Bank account immediately to receive this
money, even an empty a/c can serve to receive this money, as long as you
will remain honest to me till the end for this important business trusting
in you and believing that you will never let me down either now or in
future.I am the personal account officer to a great late INDUSTRIALIST who
has an account in one of the top banks here in Nigeria.
The account was opened in 2001 and he died in 2003 without a written or oral
WILL and since 2001 nobody has operated on this account again hence the
money is floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be
for feited for nothing since the bank has been sold on Wed, 19 Mar 2004 to
another bank and the management of the bank is now ready to release the fund
to any foreigner who has the correct information of the account before fully
handing over the management to the new bank.
The owner of this account is a foreigner and no other person knows about this
account or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary
and until his death he was the manager of the company .
My investigation through the National immigration department proved to me as
well that he was single as at the point of his entry into the Republic of
Nigeria. The amount in this account is USD$21 Million (Twenty one Million
United States Dollars ) only. As a matter of fact, I have decided to
transfer this fund abroad for investment. Your assistance as a foreigner is
necessary because the management of the bank will welcome any foreigner who has
correct information to this account which I will give you immediately, if you are interested to do this business with me.
There is no risk to this usiness. With my position and my personal contact
with the manager of the bank, the money can be transferred to any account
you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending our
physical arrival in your country for sharing.
We will start the first transfer with six million [$6,000.000]. Upon successful transfer without any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining balance of $15 million to your account. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved to a local person here, but can only be approved to any foreigner who has the correct information of The
account which I will provide to you. So you should provide me with your
correct account detail where you will like the fund to be transferred or
you can set up a new account for the transfer even an empty account is
ok.
At the conclusion of the transfer you will take 35% for you, 5% for any
expenses incurred in this business and the remaining 60% for me. As soon as
I hear from you and upon your strong assurance that you will not let me down
once the fund goes into your account I will then start to process the
transfer of the fund to your account without further delay. Contact me
urgently for further details
Thanks.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr:Clistus Igwe
