From: "DR AYO WILLIAMS" <dr_ayowilliam@hotmail.com>
Date: Tue, 05 Sep 2006 16:29:32 +0000
Subject: FROM THE DESK OF DR.AYO WILLIAMS
UBA NIGERIA PLC.
52 DOUGLAS ROAD,
OWERRI,IMO STATE.
NIGERIA.
FROM THE DESK OF DR.AYO WILLIAMS
Before proceeding,I wish to introduce myself to you;I am Ayo Williams a
staff
of United Bank for Africa PLC. Owerri,Nigeria.I am the head of the accounts
department.I am pleased to get across to you for a very urgent and
profitable
business proposal which I believe will profit the both of us
aftercompletion.
I contacted you after a careful thought that you might be capable of
handling
this business transaction,which I explained below.
The sum of $6,500,000.00 has been floating as unclaimed since 2001 in my
bank
as all efforts to get across to the relatives of our late client who
deposited the money have hit the stones.Mr.Roy J.Henshaw died of a heart
failure
here in Nigeria.All attempts to trace his next-of-kin were fruitless.My
position here
at my office requiries me to investigate and I therefore made further
investigations and discovered that Mr.Roy J.Henshaw did not declare any
next- of-kin or
relation in all his official documents,including his bank deposit paperwork
in my
bank.
According to Nigerian Law,the money will revert to the ownership of the
Nigerian government if nobody applies to claim the fund.To avoid this money
being sent to the government treasury as unclaimed funds,I have decided to
seek your assistance to have you stand as his next-of-kin so that the said
fund ($6.5m) would be released in your name as the next-of-kin and paid into
your account.All documents and proof that will have you claim this fund
without stress will be forwarded to you upon your response to this mail more
so,I want to inform you that I have unanimously agreed to offer you 40% of
the total sum for the assistance and role you are going to play in this
transaction.
Please send your confidential telephone number in your reply to this
business
transaction.And also send your email to my private email address;
dr_ayo@myway.com, if you are willing to do the business.
Thank you very much.
Dr.Ayo Williams
