FROM THE DESK OF: DR EDWARD AGYEMAN
BRANCH MANAGER WITH CAPITAL INTERNATIONAL BANK PLC
HEAD OFFICE 11 B AKIN ADESOLA STREET
VICTORIA ISLAND. LAGOS NIGERIA.
TEL: +234-806-896-5047

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Dr. Edward Agyeman, Branch Manager with CAPITAL INTERNATIONAL BANK PLC
(C.I.B) I am writing this letter to ask for your support and cooperation to
carry out this business opportunity in my department. We discovered an
abandoned sum of ($25.5 MILLION U.S. DOLLARS) in an account that belongs to
one of our foreign customer late Engr. David who died On April 21/ 2002 my
client, his wife, and their three children were involved in a car accident
along Lagos/Ibadan express way all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately
lost their lives in the process of the accident. Since we heard of his
death, we have been expecting his next-of-kin to come over and put claims
for his money as the heir, because we cannot release the fund from his
account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of- kin to the deceased
as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately, neither their family member nor distant relative has ever
appeared to claim the said fund. Upon this discovery, I and other officials
in my department have agreed to make business with you and release the total
amount into your account as the heir of the fund since no one came for it or
discovered his maintained account with our bank, otherwise the fund will be
returned to the banks treasury as unclaimed fund. We have agreed that our
ratio of sharing will be as stated thus; 30 % for you as foreign partner, 65
% for us the officials in my department and 5% for the settlement of all
local and foreign expenses incurred during the course of this business.
Upon the successful completion of this transfer, I and one of my colleagues
will come to your country and mind our share. It is from our 65% we intend
to import Agricultural Machineries into my country as a way of recycling the
fund. To commence this transaction, we require you to immediately indicate
your interest by a return e-mail and enclose your private contact telephone
number, fax number full name and address to enable us file letter of claim
to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals before the transfer
can be made.
Note also, this transaction must be kept STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL because of
its nature.
I look forward to receiving your prompt response.
Please do acknowledge the receipt of my private email address:
dr_edwardagyeman@myway.com
Thanks
Dr. Edward Agyeman (C.I.B)
