Subject: HELLO
DEAREST,
MY NAME IS MR,YEMI MORRIS,PERSONAL ASSISTANT TO
DIRECTOR INTERNATIONAL REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT ALLIED
AND BOND BANK.
I AM WRITING IN RESPECT OF A FOREIGN CUSTOMER OF MY
BANK(WILLIAM BARNES, OF AMERICA) WHO PERISHED IN THE
PLANE CRASH OF 31 OCTOBER 2001[WITH EGYPTIAN AIRLINE
990] WITH OTHER PASSENGERS ABOARD
SIR, SINCE THE DEMISE OF WILLIAM BARNES, I PERSONALLY
HAVE WATCHED WITH KEEN INTEREST TO SEE THE NEXT OF KIN
BUT ALL HAS PROVED ABORTIVE AS NO ONE HAS COME TO
CLAIM HER FUNDS OF USD30M,[THIRTY MILLION UNITED
STATES DOLLARS]HAS BEEN WITH OUR BANK HERE FOR A VERY
LONG TIME.
ON THIS NOTE I DECIDED TO SEEK FOR WHOM HIS NAME SHALL
BE USED AS THE NEXT OF KIN, AS NO ONE HAS COME UP TO
PUT CLAIM AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THIS FUNDS AND THE
BANKING ETHICS HERE DOES NOT ALLOW SUCH MONEY TO STAY
MORE THAN SEVEN YEARS, BECAUSE AFTER SEVEN YEARS THE
MONEY WILL BE CALLED BACK TO THE BANK TREASURY AS
UNCLAIMED BILL.
IN VIEW OF THIS I GOT YOUR CONTACT THROUGH MY
COUNTRY'S FOREIGN TRADE MISSION AFTER I WAS CONVINCED
IN MY MIND THAT YOUR NAME/COMPANY COULD BE USED AS THE
NEXT OF KIN TO THIS CLAIM. THE REQUEST OF THE
FOREIGNER AS A NEXT OF KIN IN THIS BUSINESS IS
OCCASIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS A
FOREIGNER AND A NIGERIAN CANNOT STAND AS THE NEXT OF
KIN TO A FOREIGNER.
I AGREED THAT 30% OF THIS MONEY WILL BE FOR YOU AS A
FOREIGN PARTNER IN RESPECT OF PROVIDING AN ACCOUNT
WHILE 10% WILL TAKE OF ANY EXPENSES THAT MIGHT BE
INCURRED IN THE PROCESS OF SUCCEEDING THE TRANSFER AND
THE REST WILL BE FOR ME. THEREAFTER I WILL VISIT YOUR
COUNTRY FOR DISBURSEMENT AS I AM ALMOST DUE FOR
RETIREMENT.
UPON THE RECEIPT OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE, I WILL SEND YOU
BY FAX OR E-MAIL A DRAFT APPLICATION OF CLAIM WHICH
YOU WILL SEND TO THE BANK AS THE NEXT OF KIN AND THE
NEXT STEP TO TAKE.
I WILL NOT FAIL TO BRING TO YOUR NOTICE THAT THIS
BUSINESS IS HITCH FREE AND THAT YOU SHOULD NOT
ENTERTAIN ANY FEAR AS THE WHOLE REQUIRED ARRANGEMENT
HAS BEEN PERFECTED FOR THE TRANSFER. PLEASE REPLY TO
MY PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS :yemi_mor_56@yahoo.dk
HOPING TO HEAR FROM YOU.
REGARDS,
MR,YEMI MORRIS,
PLEASE REPLY TO MY PRIVATE EMAIL :yemi_mor_56@yahoo.dk
