Subject: AS NEXT OF KING
Dear friend,
I am Mr. Ikechukwu Onunkwo, an Accountant with the Fidelity Bank Plc
(www.fidelitybankplc.com). Tele +234-1-876-9623
A deceased client of our bank, Late Mr. Andreas Schranner, who hereinafter
shall be referred to as our client, died in a plane crash with members of
his family. See link below for detailed information on plane crash:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/859479.stm
He operated a Fixed Deposit Domiciliary Bank Account with our bank while he
was conducting his business in Nigeria. The Bank Account was found to
contain unclaimed sum of US$12,875,000.45 (Twelve Million, Eight Hundred &
Seventy-Five Thousand US Dollars, Forty-Five Cents only). Since the death of
the above client, the bank has made series of efforts to contact any
relation of the deceased client without success.
Naturally, the bank rule is to turn in the money into the bank's vault as
"unclaimed fund" if at the expiration of the stipulated period allowed for
such claim nobody has filed a claim for the fund.
Now, since I am privileged to have the above information, I and my other two
colleagues have decided to work out the claim of the above fund with your
collaboration. We are inviting you to present yourself as the distant
next-of-kin/cousin of Late Mr. Schranner since no member of his family could
be reached. As it is today, there is no possibility of any other person
filing a claim to this abandoned fund since the bank has conducted all the
necessary searches for that.
Should you be interested to take a shot at this offer, you will be required
to file in an official claim under my guide and instruction at all times. We
would use our inside connection to push the application from the beginning
to the end and the money would be paid out to you accordingly either through
bank transfer or any other convenient means possible.
We propose to share the money in this proportion please: 40% to you and 60%
for me and my colleagues.
All legal documents to back up your claim as our client's distant
next-of-kin/cousin will be provided by an Attorney. All we require is your
honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.This will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law.
If this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my
apology. Please contact me at once to indicate your interest or otherwise.
Best regards,
Ikechukwu Onunkwo
