WITH DUE RESPECT I HAVE DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU ON A BUSINESS TRANSACTION
THAT WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO BOTH OF US. AT THE BANK'S LAST ACCOUNTS/AUDITING
EVALUATIONS, MY STAFFS CAME ACROSS AN OLD ACCOUNT WHICH WAS BEING MAINTAINED
BY A FOREIGN CLIENT WHO WE LEARNT WAS AMONG THE DECEASED PASSENGERS OF AN
AIRLINE CRASH ON 6TH NOV.2000.SINCE THE DECEASED WAS UNABLE TO RUN THIS
ACCOUNT SINCE HIS DEATH.
THE ACCOUNT HAS REMAINED DORMANT WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS FAMILY SINCE
IT WAS PUT IN A SAFE DEPOSIT ACCOUNT IN THE BANK FOR FUTURE INVESTMENT BY
THE CLIENT.SINCE HIS DEMISE, NOBODY, NOT EVEN THE MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY HAVE
APPLIED FOR CLAIMS OVER THIS FUND AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SAFE DEPOSIT
ACCOUNT UNTIL WE DISCOVERED THAT IT CANNOT BE CLAIMED SINCE OUR CLIENT IS A
FOREIGN NATIONAL AND WE ARE SURE THAT HE HAS NO NEXT OF KIN HERE TO FILE
CLAIMS OVER THE MONEY.
AS THE DIRECTOR OF THE DEPT, THIS DISCOVERY WAS BROUGHT TO MY OFFICE SO AS
TO DECIDE WHAT IS TO BE DONE. I DECIDED TO SEEK WAYS THROUGH WHICH TO
TRANSFER THIS MONEY OUT OF THE BANK AND OUT OF THE COUNTRY TOO. THE TOTAL
AMOUNT IN THE ACCOUNTS IS $7.3milliom [SEVEN MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND
US DOLLARS] .WITH OUR POSITIONS AS STAFFS OF THE BANK, WE ARE HANDICAPPED
BECAUSE WE CAN NOT OPERATE FOREIGN ACCOUNT AND CANNOT LAY BONAFIDE CLAIM
OVER THIS MONEY.
THE CLIENT IS A FOREIGN NATIONAL AND YOU WILL ONLY BE ASKED TO ACT AS HIS
NEXT OF KIN AND I WILL SUPPLY YOU WITH ALL THE NECESSARY INFORMATIONS AND
BANK DATA TO ASSIST YOU IN BEING ABLE TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY TO ANY BANK OF
YOUR CHOICE WHERE THIS MONEY COULD BE TRANSFERRED INTO. I HAVE DECIDED TO
GIVE AWAY TWENTY FIVE (25%) TO YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE AND FIVE (5%) FOR ANY
EXPENSES THAT MIGHT ARISE DURING THE TRANSACTION OF THIS TRANSFER.
WE WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS ABSOLUTELY RISK FREE SINCE WE
WORK IN THIS BANK WHICH IS WHY YOU SHOULD BE CONFIDENT IN THE SUCCESS OF
THIS TRANSACTION BECAUSE YOU WILL BE UPDATED WITH INFORMATION AS AT WHEN
DESIRED. I WILL PLEASE WISH YOU KEEP THIS TRANSACTION SECRET AS I AM HOPING
TO RETIRE WITH MY SHARE OF THIS MONEY AT THE END OF TRANSACTION WHICH WILL
BE WHEN THIS MONEY IS SAFELY IN YOUR ACCOUNT.
I WILL THEN COME OVER TO YOUR COUNTRY FOR SHARING ACCORDING TO THE
PREVIOUSLY AGREED PERCENTAGES.YOU MIGHT EVEN HAVE TO ADVISE ME ON
POSSIBILITIES OF INVESTMENT IN YOUR COUNTRY OR ELSE WHERE OF OUR CHOICE.
