Subject: Hi...
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
ARAB BANK OF NIGERIA PLC,(ABN.PLC).
REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.
DEAR FRIEND,
I am a staff of Arab Bank Of Nigeria, in the file/computer department. I got
your contact through an internet business proposal so i decided to contact
you on this business opportunity. In my department I discovered an abandoned
sum of (USD$15,000.000.00. dollars) (Fifteen Million us dollars) . In an
account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his
entire family in 31st october 2002 in a plane crash. Since we got
information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come
over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody
applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in
our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed
next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving
nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this businness
proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation
to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is
coming for it and I dont want this money to go into the Bank treasury as
unclaimed Bill. The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such
money remained unclaimed after seven years, the money will be transferred
into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next
of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that
the customer was a foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand as next of kin to a
foreigner.
I agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for
expenses incured during the business and 60 % would be for me. There after i
will visit your country for disbursement accoding to the percentages
indicated.Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as
arranged, but the major problem is that the account is dormant for so many
years so it need to be reactiaveted first before the bank can transfer the
fund to your account,you must apply first to the bank as relations or next
of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your private telephone and
fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the
money will be remitted .
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email all the
necessary documents that has to do with this transaction. I will not fail to
bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should
not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made
for the transfer . You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive
this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately. You should cantact me through my
private email:ibrahimmustapha2007@yahoo.com
Best regards.
Dr Ibrahim Mustapha.
