From the Desk of:
Mr. Favour Akubueze.
With great pleasure I Mr. Favour Akubueze, working with a
bank here in Nigeria as an accountant. I am writing you in
respect of a foreign customer (an Oil consultant/contractor
with our National Oil & Liquidified Gas Sector) whom made a
US$25M depository for an investment program that has
remained dormant for years now. Hence, I have decided to
contact you due to the urgency of this transaction. On
personal investigation, I discovered that the account holder
died since 2002 in the Ukrainian aircraft crash. In my
further investigation I discovered that the customer died
without making a WILL on the depository.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money
cannot be approved to a local Bank account here, but can
only be approved to a foreigner since the money is in US
Dollars. I have decided as a matter of urgency upon this
discovery now seek your permission to have you stand as
next of kin to the fund as No one has ever come forward to
claim this fund.I have secured from the probate an ORDER OF
MADAMUS to locate any of deceased beneficiary. In
accordance to Nigerian Law, fund deposited for over a period
of Six (6) years without claim will be reverted to the
Government treasury, if nobody applies to claim this fund.
I will like you to work with you by making all the vital
documents on your name as the legal next of kin. The
Attorney will draft and carry out the notarization of the
WILL and also obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your favour for the transfer.
At the successful conclusion of this business, your goodself
shall be entitled to have 40% that is, USD$10M of the total
money while I will have 55% that is USD$13.750M and 5% that
is USD$1.250M for communications and other expenses. I am
ready to invest a reasonable percentage of mine into any
viable business you suggest as a joint partner. You have
absolutely nothing to LOSE in assisting me instead, you have
so much to GAIN. Be rest assured that this transaction
would be most profitable for both of us.
Your response is highly imperative as this is a TWO-man
business deal transaction as I shall then provide you with
more details and relevant documents that will help you
understand the transaction. I need your assistance and
co-operation to this reality as I have done my Home-work
and fine tune the best way to create you as the beneficiary
while I would use my connection and money to secure almost
all the paperwork for this transaction which will be done
by the Attorney and my position as the Branch Accountant
guarantees the successful execution of this transaction with
you as the beneficiary to this fund.
I will appreciate your early reply for commencement of
business. Contact me for acknowledgement by E-mail and
whereby you are not interested, please indicate in your
reply so that I can seek for the assistance of someone else.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, I expect that you
will not take undue advantage of the trust I Will bestow in
you. I await your urgent response.
Thanks with great regards.
Mr. Favour Akubueze
