Subject: From: Alh.Sule Ibrahim,
From: Alh.Sule Ibrahim, Union bank of Nigeria plc,
Marina- Branch, Lagos.
Attn:Sir/Madam,
Greeting you today, first, I must solicit your confidence in this Transaction. This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone Apprehensive and worried. But I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. I have decided to contact you through this medium due to the urgency of this transaction as I have been reliably informed of your discreteness and ability. Let me start by introducing myself to you.
I am Alh.Sule Ibrahim, an accountant with the Union bank of Nigeria plc. I came to know about you in my private search for a reliable and reputable person to handle this confidential transaction as I is still in active Service.
I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On 11th March, 2002. Our customer, an Canadian national, late Engineer Jeffrey Landercasper, Merchant/Contractor with the Federal Government of Nigeria, until his death years ago in a ghastly Air crash in an Egyptian airline, banked with us here at Union Bank of Nigeria plc, had a closing balance of US$20.5M.
On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL//Testament and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Engineer Jeffrey Landercasper did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in our Bank. This sum of US$20,500,000 is still sitting in our 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.
According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as an individual to stand in as the next of kin to Engineer Jeffrey Landercasper so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your
1. Your Full Name and complete contact address
2. Your Private phone, fax, and cell phone number for easy communication.
3. Your date of birth (Age).
4. Your Banking infomation where the fund will be transfer into.
As soon as I received the above information the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits which will put you in place as the next of kin for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and Letter of Probate/Administration in your favor for the transfer.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 50% for me, 40% for you while the remaining 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred within here and there.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and my position in the bank guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
If you are interested, then kindly get to me immediately for more details.
Thank you in anticipation of your Co-operation.
Yours Faithfully,
Alh.Sule Ibrahim.
