Subject: DEAR FRIEND/GOOD DAY
DEAR FRIEND/GOOD DAY
MY NAME IS MR.SANNI ABBAS, A BANKER AND ACCOUNTANT WITH ECO BANK HERE IN LAGOS,
NIGERIA.I AM THE PERSONAL ACCOUNTS MANAGER TO ENGR.JONATHAN ZOLTAN,A NATIONAL OF
YOUR COUNTRY, WHO USED TO WORK WITH AN OIL SERVICING COMPANY HERE IN NIGERIA. MY
CLIENT, HIS WIFE, AND THEIR THREE CHILDREN WERE INVOLVED IN THE ILL FATED KENYA
AIRWAYS CRASH IN THE COASTS OF ABIDJAN IN JANUARY 2000 IN WHICH ALL PASSENGERS
ON BOARD DIED.
SINCE THEN I HAVE MADE SEVERAL INQUIRIES TO YOUR EMBASSY TO LOCATE ANY OF MY
CLIENTS EXTENDED RELATIVES BUT HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. AFTER SEVERAL UNSUCCESSFUL
ATTEMPTS, I DECIDED TO TRACE IF I COULD LOCATE ANY MEMBER
OF HIS FAMILY HENCE I CONTACTED YOU. OF PARTICULAR INTEREST IS THIS HUGE DEPOSIT
WITH OUR BANK HERE IN, WHERE THE DECEASED HAS AN ACCOUNT VALUED AT
ABOUT (USD$10.5 MILLION US DOLLARS).
THEY HAVE ISSUED ME A NOTICE TO PROVIDE THE NEXT OF KIN OR THE BANK WILL DECLARE
THE ACCOUNT UNSERVICEABLE AND THEREBY SEND THE FUNDS TO THE BANK TREASURY. SINCE
I HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN LOCATING THE RELATIVES FOR
OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS NOW, I WILL SEEK YOUR CONSENT TO PRESENT YOU AS THE NEXT
OF KIN OF THE DECEASED SINCE YOU HAVE THE SAME LAST NAMES, SO THAT THE PROCEEDS
OF THIS ACCOUNT VALUED AT (USD$ 10.5 MILLION US DOLLARS) CAN BE PAID TO YOU AND
THEN WE CAN SHARE THE MONEY. ALL I REQUIRE IS YOUR HONEST COOPERATION TO ENABLE
US SEEING THIS DEAL THROUGH.
I GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL BE EXECUTED UNDER ALL LEGITIMATE ARRANGEMENT THAT
WILL PROTECT YOU FROM ANY BREACH OF THE LAW. IF YOU
CAN HANDLE THIS WITH ME, REACH ME IMMEDIATELY THROUGH MY PRIVATE EMAIL
ADDRESS(abbas_sanni@fastermail.com) AND PLEASE INCLUDE FULL NAMES AND ADDRESS,
DATE OF BIRTH AND YOUR PHONE NUMBERS FOR MORE DISCUSSIONS.
THANKING YOU FOR YOUR ANTICIPATED COOPERATION,
