MR Felix Abua
STANDARD TRUST BANK
LAGOS.
Dear Edmund
Permit me to say that I am very sorry for making this contact
considering the fact that we have not met, but this contact is very urgent and
necessitated by the desire to create a business relationship and trust
with you. My name is Mr Felix Abua I am an Executive Director in the
Department of Accounts and Treasury of Standard Trust Bank in Nigeria.
On the 4th of June 2004 an American National named MR.RIOS Carson made a
fixed deposit of Eight Million US Dollars (USD8M) in my Bank for a
twelve Calendar month year) and this expired in June 2005.
On the 21st of August 2005 there was the news of an auto accident along
Lagos-Ibadan expressway that claimed the lives of MR.RIOS Carson ,his
wife and two children. Since then I have been expecting that any member
of his family will come to my back to lay claims on this fund which the
deceased deposited in my bank but no member of his family showed up.
I have made frantic efforts through the Embassy but I was not able to
locate any member of his family who can claim this fund.There is no
other alternative so I decided to make a search through the Internet to see
if I can get anyone who bears the same surname with the deceased
so that we can claim this money for our mutual benefits.
I have contacted you after I found your name on the Internet and I felt
that since you bear the same surname with the deceased,it would not be
difficult for you to claim the fund.As an officer in the Bank, I will
make sure I perfect everything to see that all the necessary documents
are procured to put you in place as the gitimate Next of Kin to claim
the fund.
I shall give you 30% of this fund when it is transferred to your
account while you will also help me to invest my own share in your
country.You don have to fear in this transaction, as it is 100% risk free. We
will need to employ a Lawyer who will be appearing physically in the Bank
and representing you as your Attorney. He will also be responsible for
the procurement of the documents.
Please take this as a genuine contact and if you are Interested and
willing to share in this opportunity, quickly reply through my personal
email: felixabua1000@yahoo.com in and also send me your full information;
Telephone number, fax number and contact address.I shall give you more
details of this business when you respond.
Regards,
MR felix abua
