African Express Bank Plc.
From the Desk of
Mr Bisi Lawal
Plot 230, Idowu Martins Street,
Victoria Island,
Telephone +234 8022-298-3889
Dear,
STRICTLY AND PRIVATE BUSINESS PROPOSAL.
I am Mr Bisi Lawal, The Manager Bills and Exchange at the Foreign Remittance
Department of the African Express Bank Plc bank plc I am writing this
letter to ask for your support and cooperation to carry out this business
opportunity in my departments. We discovered an abandoned sum of US$38.5
Million (Thirthy Eight Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars
only) in an Account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died
along with his entire family of a wife and two children in November 2002 in
a plane crash. Since we heard of his eath, we have been expecting his
next-of-kin to come over and put claims for his money as the heir, because
we cannot release the fund from his Account unless someone applies for claim
as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our Banking guidelines.
Unfortunately, neither their family member nor distant relative has ever
appeared to claim the said fund. Upon this discovery, I and other officials
in my department have agreed to make business with you and release the total
amount into your Account as the heir of the fund, since no one came for it
or discovered he maintained Account with our Bank, otherwise the fund will
be returned to the Banks treasury as unclaimed fund. We have agreed that our
ratio of sharing will be as stated thus: 30% for you as a foreign partner,
60% for us the officials in my department and 10% for the settlement of all
local and foreign expenses incurred by us and you during the cours of this
business. Upon the successful completion of this transfer, I and one of my
colleagues will come to your Country and mind our share. It is from our 60%
we intend to invest in (estate) as a way of recycling the fund.
To commence this transaction, we require you to immediately indicate your
interest by a return E-mail and enclose your private contact telephone
number, fax number including you mobile number, full name and address and
your designated Bank coordinates to enable us file letter of claim to the
appropriate departments for necessary approvals before the transfer can
made.
Note also, this transaction must be kept STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL because of
its nature. I look forward to receiving your prompt response.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr Bisi Lawal.
African Express Bank Plc
