Attn, Dear
I am Mr.Faith johnson, I am the Manager in the Department of accounts
division,Assurance .Bank, Marina branch Lagos-Nigeria. On December
30th 2002, one of our high profile patrons Mr Doolittle made a
numbered time (Fixed) Deposit, for twelve calendar months in my Bank
ranch. Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding
address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally
we discovered from his contract employers he was aboard the, Boeing 727
Beirut-bound charter Jet which crashed on takeoff on December 26th
2003, see the below link for read more news about the air crash:
www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/
After further inquest, it was discovered that he died without making a
WILL aand all attempts to trace his next of kin proved futile. On further
inquisition, it was discovered that Late Mr Doolittle jacksonville did not
declare
any next of kin or relations in all his official documents, including his
Bank Deposit paperwork here at the Bank. The total sum is US$12.5M still
in my bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at
the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to
claim it. In accord with the Federal banking Laws and Constitution, the
money will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies
as the next of Kin to claim the funds.
Consequently, I shall present you as a foreigner to stand in, as the
next of kin to this gentleman, since you have same last name with the
deceased,
so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you, for us to share.
Upon acceptance of this proposal, I shall give you detailed information on
how this deal would be carried out. We shall employ the services of an
advocate for the drafting of the letter of probate in your favor, and
to obtain all other relevant papers in your name for the
necessary documentation for payment endorsement in my bank.
The money will be shared in the ratio: Fifty percent for me, Fourty
five percent for you and five percent for any arising contingencies during
the course of this transaction. I guarantee that this will be executed
under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law
orany legal plight, as I will use my position in the bank to secure
approvals and guarantee the successful execution of this transaction.
Please be informed that your extreme discretion is required. If this
interests you, please reply me directly by email and indicate your full
name, Address Date of Birth, Your contact Telephone and fax numbers
respectively. Upon receipt of your response, I will prepare a Text of
Application you will send to my Bank Headquarters for payment approval
your favor.
I await your urgent reply.
Thanks.
