GOOD DAY
DEAR FRIEND,
WITH WARM HEART I OFFER MY FRIENDSHIP, AND GREETINGS, AND I HOPE THIS
MAIL MEETS YOU IN GOOD TIME. HOWEVER STRANGE OR SURPRISING THIS CONTACT
MIGHT SEEM TO YOU, AS WE HAVE NOT MET PERSONALLY OR HAD ANY DEALINGS IN
THE PAST, I HUMBLY ASK THAT YOU TAKE DUE CONSIDERATION OF ITS
IMPORTANCE AND IMMENSE BENEFIT. I MUST APOLOGIZE TO YOU FOR USING THIS
MEDIUM TO COMMUNICATE TO YOU ABOUT THIS PROJECT.
I AM SORRY IF THIS LETTER COMES TO YOU AS AN EMBARRASSMENT BUT BE REST
ASSURED THAT YOUR PARTICULARS OF CONTACT WAS GIVEN TO ME BY A GOOD
FRIEND OF MINE WHO WORK WITH THE NIGERIA CHAMPERS OF COMMERCE, FOR
RELIABLE AND CAPABLE FOREIGNER THAT WILL HANDLE CONFIDENTIALLY A
TRANSFER OF HUGE SUM OF MONEY, FROM ZENITH INTERNATIONAL BANK OF
NIGERIA PLC, TO A FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNT.
I AM BARRISTER JOHN LARRY AN AFRICAN BORN NIGERIAN CITIZEN AND AM THE
PERSONAL ATTRONEY TO LATE MR. SUNNY ZHONG , A FOREIGN NATIONALITY, WHO
USED TO WORK WITH JULIUS BERGER NIGERIA PLC. ON 19TH AUGUST 2002, OUR
LATE CUSTOMER LATE MR.SUNNY ZHONG WAS INVOLVED IN A GHASTLY MOTOR
ACCIDENT WITH HIS FAMILY NORTH WARDS TO LEEDS DURING WHICH HE LOST HIS
LIFE WITH HIS WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN.
UNFORTUNATELY, SINCE WE GOT THE INFORMATION ABOUT HIS SUDDEN DEATH AND
THE UGLY INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED, THE MANAGEMENT OF THIS HONOURABLE
CHAMBER MADE SEVERAL ENQUIRIES ON LOCATING ANY OF HIS EXTENDED
RELATIVES WHO CAN STAND AS HIS NEXT OF KIN TO INHERITE AN ESTATE HE
LEFT BEHIND IN OUR CUSTODY BUT ALL THESE SEVERAL EFFORTS ALSO PROVED
UNSUCCESSFUL AND YIELDED NO RESULTS, AS THE PERSONAL ATTORNEY TO THE
DECEASED, I ALSO MADE CONCERTED EFFORTS AIMED AT LOCATING A POSSIBLE
NEXT
OF KIN TO MY DECEASED CLIENT, THROUGH YOUR EMBASSY HERE IN NIGERIA, BUT
ALL TO NO AVIL.
WHAT I ACTUALLY WANT TO DO IS TO PRESENT YOU TO THE BANK AS A NEXT OF
KIN TO THE DECEASED, LATE MR. SUNNY ZHONG TO ENABLE US PLACE CLAIMS ON
HIS DEPOSITED TOTAL SUM OF (US$18.500.000.00), HE DEPOSITED IN A GOOD
BANK FOR SAFE KEEPING BEFORE HIS UNTIMELY DEATH. I AM CONTACTING YOU
TO ASSIST IN REPATRIATING THE STATED SUM HE LEFT BEHIND BEFORE THEY GET
CONFISCATED OR DECLARED UNSERVICEABLE BY THE BANK.
THIS INTENSION BECOMES VERY URGENT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE BANKING
LAWS AND POLICY HERE IN NIGERIA STIPULATES AND PROVIDES THAT IF SUCH
FUNDS REMAINS UNCLAIMED AFTER FIVE YEARS, THAT BANK IS LEGALLY
EMPOWERED TO FREEZE SUCH ACCOUNTS AND THE FUND TRANSFERRED INTO THE
FEDERAL RESERVE ACCOUNT AS UNCLAIMED FUND. RECENTLY THE ZENITH
INTERNATIONAL BANK OF NIGERIA PLC ISSUED A NOTICE OF CONFISCATION, AS
THE
ACCOUNT HAD REMAINED UNSERVICEABLE SINCE 2002, I WAS SUBSEQUENTLY GIVEN
A
MANDATE OF 21 OFFICIAL BANKING DAYS TO PRODUCE A NEXT OF KIN TO THE
DECEASED OR CONSIDER THE ACCOUNT FROZEN.DUE TO TIME CONSTRAIN AND THE
FACT
THAT I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IN LOCATING ANY RELATIVE TO MY CLIENT, I THEN
WISH TO SEEK YOUR CONSENT TO PRESENT YOU AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THE
DECEASED CLIENT OF MINE. SO THAT THE PROCEEDURES OF THIS ACCOUNT VALUED
AT
US$18.500.000.00 CAN BE RELEASED THROUGH YOU, OUR GENERAL BENEFIT
INSTEAD OF ALLOWING HIS SWEAT GET LOST IN THE BANK, BE INFORMED THAT I
HAVE IN MY POSSESSION ALL NECESSARY INFORMATION THAT WE SHALL REQUIRE
TO BACK-UP OUR CLAIMS.
I SHALL FURNISH YOU WITH FURTHER DETAILS AS SOON AS YOU HAVE INDICATED
YOUR INTEREST TO RENDER THE DESIRED ASSISTANCE. BEAR IN MINE THAT 50%
OF THE FUND IS FOR ME WHY 40% IS FOR YOU AND 10% IS FOR TAX AND OTHER
THINGS THAT WILL COME UP DOING THE TRANSACTION.SO YOU CAN CONTACT ME ON
MY PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS: (johnlarry779@gawab.com) STATED AS
FOLLOWS,TO
ENABLE US COMMENCE ACTIONS ON THIS DEAL INSTANTLY. YOUR GENUINE HONEST
COOPERATION IS REQUIRED TO ENABLE US ACHIEVE THIS PURPOSE; I GUARANTEE
THAT THE ENTIRE TRANSACTION WILL BE EXECUTED UNDER A LEGITIMATE
ARRANGEMENTS OF TIME. I AWAIT YOUR URGENT RESPONSE BY MAIL FOR MORE
DISCUSSION.
