Subject: DETAILS OF THIS TRANSACTION
Thanks for your positive response to my proposal. I want you to understand the full details of this transaction and get back to me before I introduce you to the next-step, which is why I am writing you this mail. As you know we have not met before and for us to successfully conclude this business there has to be trust among us because the volume of the money involve is quite large. So you must guarantee me not to betray me immediately the fund is transferred to your account and to adhere to my good directives.
Late Mrs. Stella Obasanjo is the wife of President Olusegun Obasanjo, she lodged US$57,500,000.00 in our bank in a fixed deposit account, since her death no body has come forward as the beneficiary/next of kin and from my findings, the deceased has no will, I have watched this account for months now and if no one comes for the claims, our bank will confiscate the funds and declear the account as dormant account.
I am aware that you are not related to the late Mrs Stella Obasanjo but I want you to stand as her beneficiary/next of kin since I have all the information and contacts required for us to achieve success. Just reassure me of your trust then we can do this together. I strongly assure you that this deal is real, safe as well as risk free.
I must assure you that this business is risk free and trouble free. I contacted you for this important business as a total stranger due to the great need to involve a foreigner who will act and receive this fund in his account because the account belongs to a diseased first lady who died in Spain last year without a WILL and the account was operated coded by the deceased and my extensive search for a foreigner led me to you because after the transfer I look forward to a business partnership with you cause I want to invest my own share in your country. The management of my bank is ready to pay the money to any foreigner who has the correct information about the account, which I will give to you along with all the LEGAL DOCUMENTS needed by the management of the bank.
Who I am: For an introduction, my name is MR. Vincent Nelson, A senior staff in the same bank. My residential address is: Plot 5 Hill view Crescent, GRA, New Haven, Enugu, Nigeria. I will attach my work I.D for proper identification when I hear from you.
The procedure: I will send you application, which you will send to the bank. I will give you all the information that the bank might require from you in the application. All you have to do is to fill it and include your receiving bank account details and send it to the bank requesting them to transfer the money into your account. I will see to every other thing necessary for you to receive the money in your account but you must assure me that you will not betray me at the conclussion of this noble deal.
Benefit: For your role to participate and assist me get the money transferred into your bank account, I will give you 30% of the money for your assistance. Though nobody in my bank will know of it that you are not the real beneficiary of late Mrs Stella Obasanjo I will receive my share by coming to your country if you like after the transfer or you can send mine through bank transfer.
Assurance: There is no risk involved at all. This deal is valid and legal because we will get the money transferred to your bank account through normal bank transfer process. You will have nothing to fear because I will always be there for you. You must always copy me every message you receive from the bank and where you receive mail you cannot answer, I will provide the answers immediately. I will give you every proof you might want as my guarantee and strongly hope that you will not sit on this money when it is transferred to you. I also expect that the mutual trust, which I have placed on you, will not be neglected, as it is the only way for us to successfully conclude this deal and share our benefit.
Lastly, always write to me promptly. Please provide me with your private phone number, full name, your contact address, age, your occupation, and marital status so as to know you better for us to proceed. I wait for your mail.
