From The Desk of Mr.Oscar Stephen
Manager Union Bank Plc.
Branch Ikeja Lagos
I am Mr.Oscar Stephen Branch Manager Union Bank Plc., I have
urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.A British Oil
consultant and contractor with the Kruger Gold Company,Mr.Raymond Beck
made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued
at BP12,000,000.00 (Twelve Million British pounds) in my branch.Upon
maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we=20
discovered
from contract employers, the Kruger Gold Company that Mr.Raymond Beck
died in a plane crash along with his wife Mr.and Mrs.Raymond Beck died
in a plan crash along with his wife in Egypt Air Flight 990, 1999 air
crash (for more information about this crash ).=20
website http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm
Since we got this information about his death and on further
investigation,I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all
attempts to
trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that Mr.Raymond Beck did not declare any
kin or
relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank. This sum of (BP 12,000,000.00 POUNDS) is still
sitting
in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum
at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it.
According to Laws of 1999 constitution of Federal Republic Of
Nigeria,at
the expiration of 8 (eight) years, the money will revert to the
ownership of the Government if nobody applies to claim the
fund.Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner
to stand
in as the next of kin to Mr.Raymond Beck so that the fruits of this old
man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt governmen
t officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately
your full names and address AND your contact number so that the
attorney
will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you
in place as the next of kin.We shall employ the services of an attorney
=20
for drafting and
notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and
letter of
probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.A bank account in
any
part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the
transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin.The money
will
be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me
and
40% for you. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this
transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch
Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you
are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address
above.Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details
and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy
communication. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured
that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I
shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply
