Subject: GOOD DAY Dear Clarence
ATTENTION: Clarence ,
I AM MR.ADAMS MUDAZE DIRECTOR OF AUDIT UNIT, DEVELOPEMENT BANK LAGOS-NIGERIA. THIS IS A VERY CONFIDENTIAL PROPOSITION FOR YOU. ON NOVEMBER 21ST 2003, A BRAZILIAN OILCONSULTANT/CONTRACTOR WITH THE NIGERIA SOLID MINERALS CORPORATION,
MR.MAURICIO JOSE DE MATOS MADE A NUMBERED TIME (FIXED) DEPOSIT FOR TWELVE CALENDAR MONTHS, VALUED AT USD8,000,000.00 (EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS ONLY) IN MY BRANCH.UPON MATURITY ON NOVEMBER 20TH 2004 AS HIS CREDIT OFFICER, I SENT A ROUTINE NOTIFICATION TO HIS FORWARDING ADDRESS BUT GOT NO REPLY.
AFTER A MONTH, WE SENT A REMINDER AND FINALLY I DISCOVERED FROM HIS CONTRACT EMPLOYERS, THE NIGERIA SOLID MINERALS CORPORATION THAT MR. MAURICIO JOSE DE MATOS DIED IN AUTO CRASH. FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS, AND ALL ATTEMPTS TO TRACE HIS NEXT OF KIN WAS FRUITLESS.
AGAIN, I MADE FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND DISCOVERED THAT THE DECEASED DID NOT DECLARE ANY NEXT OF KIN OR RELATIONS IN ALL HIS OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING HIS BANK DEPOSIT PAPERWORK IN MY BANK THIS SUM OF USD8,000,000.00 IS STILL SITTING IN MY BANK NO ONE WILL EVER COME FORWARD TO CLAIM IT. ACCORDING TO THE INTERNATIONAL BANKING ETHICS, CODES AND LAWS, AT THE EXPIRATION OF 2(TWO) YEARS, THE MONEY WILL REVERT TO THE OWNERSHIP OF THE NIGERIA 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 THE DECEASED. THIS IS SIMPLE, I WILL LIKE YOU TO RESPOND IMMEDIATELY WITH YOUR FULL NAMES AND ADDRESS SO THAT I WILL FORWARD TO YOU ALL THE NECESSARY INFORMATION ABOUT THE DECEASED BIO-DATA AND ACCOUNT DETAILS WHICH YOU WILL USE TO APPLY TO THE BANK TO RELEASE THE FUND AS THE NEXT OF KIN.
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 TWO OF MY COLLEAGUES WHO ARE AWARE OF THIS TRANSACTION AND 25% FOR YOU AND 5% FOR EXPENSES INCURRED IN THE COURSE OF THE TRANSACTION.
THERE IS NO RISK AT ALL AS ALL THE PAPERWORK FOR THIS TRANSACTION WILL BE DONE BY MY COLLEAGUES AND WITH MY POSITION AS THE DIRECTOR OF AUDIT GUARANTEES THE SUCCESSFUL EXECUTION OF THIS TRANSACTION. UPON YOUR RESPONSE, I SHALL THEN PROVIDE YOU WITH MORE DETAILS AND RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE TRANSACTION. PLEASE SEND ME YOUR CONFIDENTIAL TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS FOR EASY COMMUNICATIONS.
YOU SHOULD 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.
AWAITING YOUR URGENT REPLY.
THANKS AND REGARDS.
MR.ADAMS MUDAZE .
