Subject: Dear friend,from Paul,
Dear friend,from Paul,
Before I start, I must first apologize for this unsolicited mail to
you.I am aware that this is certainly an unconventional approach to
establishing a relationship, but you will realize the reason for my
action after going through this email. However, permit me to
introduce myself.
I am Mr Paul Unongo the credit unit Director of Triumph Bank
Nigeria PLC.
Triumph Bank Nig Plc is one of the Commercial Banks in Nigeria.
Further more, On the 12th of July 2004,the board of directors of
my bank met over a matter that requires your urgent co-operation and
assistance.
On January 31st 2000 , one of our esteemed customers, Mr. BOB WILLIAMS
a citizen of your country who unfortunately lost his life and that of his
wife MRS PATTY WILLIAMS in the air crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 .

Before the death of the late Mr.BOB WILLIAMS, he was an influential
oil services contractor with some oil firms in the oil rich Niger delta area
of Nigeria. And at the time of his death, had both current and savings
accounts with our Bank amounting to US$8.4Million in both accounts. When my
Bank was notified of his death, we made efforts to contact his immediate
next of kin through his embassy in Victoria Island, Lagos.
The embassy later wrote to us ,informing us that all attempt on
their part to contact any of his relatives was not successful.It is
of note here that he died together with his loving wife MRS PATTY
WILLIAMS,they never had any child of their own.It was at this point that we
contacted the government of Nigeria through the Ministry of Finance because
it is a mandatory obligation on the part of banks in Nigeria to inform the
ministry of finance of any dormant account owned by a foreigner.
The government later wrote to us back directing our Bank to place
the late Mr.BOB WILLIAMS funds in a suspense account pending when any
of his relatives show up to claim the funds. However, we received
another instruction from the ministry of finance last week giving
us till the 30th august 2006 to disburse this funds to the next of
kin of the late Mr BOB WILLIAMS or the funds will be Diverted into the
Federation account.
Based on this instructions, I am contacting you.I am doing this
because the late Mr BOB WILLIAMS was a very hard working man who was
also kind and humble therefore I do not want his labour to be in
vain rather to let his next of kin/country man take possession of
his assets. I have contacted you today to assist in repatriating
the money and property he left behind before they get confiscated
or declared unserviceable by the Federal Government of Nigeria. The
Constitutional provision of the Federal Republic of Nigeria further
mandates the deceased accounts officer in this case (my humble
self) to repatriate the fund if original country of deceased is
extablished.
Since I have not been successful in locating the relatives for some
years now, I seek your consent now to present you as the next of
kin of the deceased since you are from the native country of the
deceased,so that the proceeds of his account valued at
US$8.4million dollars can be paid to you and then we can disburse
as follows: (1) 40% to you. (2) 50% to Me (3) 10% to our choice of
Charity and humanitarian organizations in your country. As soon as
you confirm your willingness to assist, you shall be provided with
all his personal account information as contained in our file. I have also
concluded plans to secure the legal documentation in your name for the claim
of the funds as the next-of-kin .
When we have successfully remitted the funds to your home country,I
shall proceed to meet with you in your country so that you can
assist me invest my share into any profitable business for at least
2 years instant.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this
project through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate and legal arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law.Let me know once you indicate your interest so as
to inform you on what next you have to do.
Best regards,
MR Paul Unongo
Please note that it does not matter at this time whether you are the next of
kin or not we have to save this funds from being wasted by corrupt
politicians who never knew how this man worked hard for his money
before he died.
