Subject: Urgent And Confidential Please.
Dear,
With due respect and regards,I Dr Latif Abubakar a Fund Manager of a Financial Institution and I have decided to contact you on a transaction and Deal of this magnitute;
During auditing in our bank I discovered an account that belong to one of our late foreign customer who died with his entire family in a plane crash on 21st
July 2003 in Kenya, his account has been dormant for some many years without anyone coming forth to claim it.
It's upon my discovery that he has no one to claim his deposited fund,that I decided to contact you in this case and the banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such fund remains unclaimed for five years,and know body apply to the bank as his or her next of kin to the deceased the fund will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund.The request of foreigner as next of kin in this regard is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and I sees it to be reasonable to seek for a foreign Next-Of-Kin also to stand for the claim as a matter of fact.
Although personally,I kept this information secret within myself to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of execution.The said amount was ($10.5M) Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars. Meanwhile,all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased customer has been made,and all information will be provided to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me.
I could have done this transaction alone,but due to the fact that I don't want the secret of this transaction to be reviewed by anybody,that is why I have decided to contact a foreign body in other to maintain the secrecy involved and also been a well known staff of this bank,it is not advisable for me to carry out this transaction alone.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction.You will be entitled to 35% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of any expenses that may arise during the cause of this transaction,which will be deducted as soon as the funds gets into your personal account in your
country while 55% will be for me.
Please,you have been advised to keep this as a top secret because of the confidentiality of this transaction and my position in the Office until this fund enters into your designation bank account overseas.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the fund in your designation bank account before I tender my resignation letter to the bank.
I will be expecting your response as soon as you receive this message.
Thanks,
Best Regard.
Dr Latif Abubakar (FM)
