Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Adebayo Peters a Banker with Standard Trust Bank Plc,here in
Nigeria, I am writing this letter to ask for your Support and co-operation to carry out this businessopportunity in my department. We discovered an abandoned sum of (USD14 Million) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers Late Engineer.Gabriel, who died in the Ikeja Bomb blast of the 27th of January 2002 including his wife and two children.Since his death, we have been expecting his next-of-kin to come over
and put claims for his money as his heir, for we cannot release the fund fromhis account unless someone applies to claim as the next-of-kin to thedeceased as indicated in our banking regulation. Unfortunately,neither their family member nor distant relatives have showed up to claim the said fund.Upon this discovery, my colleagues and I, have agreed to make business
with you and release the total amount into your account as the heir to
thefund since no one came for it or discovered he maintained an account
with our bank,otherwise the fund will be returned to the banks treasury as
unclaimed fund. For clarity, we have agreed that our ratio of sharing will be as stated
thus;30% for you as foreign partner, 65% for me and the officials in my department and 5% for the settlement of all local and foreign expenses incurred during the course of this business.Upon the successful completion of this transfer, my colleagues and I,will come to your country and mind our share. It is from our 65 % we intend to import Agricultural Machineries into my country as away 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 & fax numbers,full names & address to enable
the process of this transaction in your favour and to effect the necessary approvals before the transfer can be made.Note also, this transaction must be kept STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL becauseof its nature. For confirmation of this story please refer to these sites:I look forward to receiving your prompt response.Copy your reply to
my private email: adpeters45@yahoo.comRegards,Mr.Adebayo Peters
