Subject: MY DEAR FRIEND.
Good Day,
May I have your interest on this matter? I am Mr. Nelson by name and I happen to be one of the account officers with IC Bank Plc. There's an urgent business opportunity that I would like to share with you and both of us will benefit mutually on this opportunity. Is about an account deposited by my clients, valued at US15.345m. This man used to work with French oil major Total Company here and who happens to be a native of your country. On the 4th of May 2002, my Client was involved in a drastic Auto crash with his entire family. I have tried to locate their surviving relatives, I have checked all available public files and embassies, but all my efforts had proved abortive.
I want to inform you that the bank is in process of liquidating this account, if in few weeks from now no body appears to make claim on late Michael's account. This is why I need your assistance and participation, in repatriating this account. I suggest we make claim on your names. Since you are the only one I was able to locate. And we must act toward this transaction as soon as we can to meet up with the bank's mandate. And due to the banking law and regulation of 1985, sub section 18d page 103 chapter 11 of the constitution governing all banking policy in Nigeria, and in accordance to the banking decree 003 sub section 45 which stated that any deposited fund which remains unclaimed after the existing period of four years will be confiscated by the national treasury department as unclaimed fund
Consequently, I have contacted you to assist in repatriation of this fund and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declare unserviceable by my Bank Plc, where he has deposited this fund. I want us to have a deal on this matter; I will present you to my bank as the relative of this man since I could not locate any of his relatives. So that this fund could be transferred in your care as soon as possible, as the relative of this man, so that we can share the fund. I would like you to send to me:
(1) Your full names
(2) Tel/Fax No.
(3) your addresses
(4) your age and Status.
(5) Occupation.These will enable me to gather some legal documents that will fully legalize you to inherit this fund. Let me know that you are interested on this deal, so I may feed you with the procedure and the rest information that you would like to know soon.
I shall be looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully
Samuel Nelson
