Dear Sir/Madam,
Request for Co-operation on a Private Business
Relationship
Every four years, Nigeria banks transfer to its treasury millions of dollars
of unclaimed deceased depositors funds, in compliance with the banking laws
and guidelines. In the majority of cases, with reference to my Citizen Bank
International. The money normally runs into several millions of dollars.
Until Dr.Ben Neff death along with his wife, Doris, their two children,
Michael and Ann in a private jet plane crash. I was his foreign currency
denoted bank account manager with constant balance in excess of eight
digits. Ever since his death and up till this time of writing, no next of
kin or relation of his has come forward to claim his money with us.
Naturally, as long as late Dr.Ben Neff money remains unclaimed, the bank
remains richer in free funds with his money. However, with my being in
direct charge of bills and exchange in the foreign remittance department of
my bank, I am in position to cause the payment of this money to whosoever
that present himself as the next of kin or relation of the late Dr.Ben Neff
on private business deal basis.
Now the game plan and the purpose of writing to you exclusively having been
highly recommended as the right and proper person to handle this deal by a
management consultant friend of mine, who has traveled widely, including
your country is that i want to pull out this unclaimed money amounting to
$7,500,000:00 (seven million, five hundred united states dollars) with your
co-operation and assistance by just doing the following:
(a) Act as next of kin or relation of late Dr.Ben Neff.
(b) Provide your bank account and location where you want the money
remitted.
(c) Provide your direct and private telephone/fax numbers for effective
communication
(d) Give immediate reply to this proposal using the above tell/fax number or
alternative email for details on how to proceed.
for your co-operation and efforts, 40% of the money will be for you as my
foreign partner,10% for settlement of all expenses that might be incurred on
the course of this transaction, while 50%will be for myself that will
eventually visit your country for disbursement of the fund.
Looking forward to a mutual and beneficial business relationship.
Remain bless,
Rev.Maxwell Smith John.
