Subject: BUSINESS INTRODUCTION.
FROM THE DESK OF,
MR. JERRY MARK
(UNION BANK NIGERIA PLC)
LAGOS-NIGERIA.
Dear friend.
Good day, First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction; this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly CONFIDENTAIL. I am Mr. Jerry Mark. The personal Accountant to MR.MORRIS THOMPSON, an America Oil Consultant/Contractor with shell development Oil company and the president of DIAMOND SAFARIES CO NIGERIA. LTD.
On the 11th of May 2000, my client, his wife and their only son were involved in a car accident along King street BADAGRY EXPRESS WAY. Unfortunately, they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of his extended relatives and this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his Relatives over the Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no avail. I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left Behind before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where he lodged these hug deposits. He had a deposit with the bank worth Eighteen Million, Five hundred Thousand United State Dollars ($18.5m)in the bank (UNION BANK NIGERIA PLC ) . Consequently, the bank has decided that if by the end of next month and no one comes up for claim, as the next of kin, they will have no choice than to confiscate the fund because that the bank rule stipulated.
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are interested to help, so that the proceeds of this account valued at Eighteen Million, Five hundred Thousand United State Dollars ($18.5m) can be paid to you for both of us to share the money; 50% to me and 30% to you, while 10% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require, then another 10% to charity organization. I guarantee you that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law, and I will advice you on how you will act as the next of kin to the deceased so that the Eighteen Million, Five hundred Thousand United State Dollars ($18.5m) will be transferred into your nominated bank account.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Respond urgent to enable us discuss further.
Thanks for your kind co-operation.
Mr. Jerry Mark.
