Subject: GET BACK TO ME,
Dear FriendI am the Manage, Customer Services department of (United Bank of Africa). In my department, we discovered the sum of Twenty Four Million, United States Dollars.(24.000.000.00) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers (Mr. E. Wayne, from UNITED STATE OF AMERICA) who died along with his entire family in July 2000 in a plane crash. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and laws, but unfortunately we learnt alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal toyou and the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the bank's treasury as ''unclaimed bill''. The
banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after five years, the money will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and the law does not permit me being a banker to stand as next of kin toa foreigner. I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of a foreign account by you, and 70% would be for me, thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated.Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you have to apply first to the bank as a relation or next of kin of the deceased with a text of application form that I will send to you when I hear from you, hence I will want you to send to me your private telephone and fax numbers for easy and effective communication and location wherein the money will be remitted.Upon
receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application form. Note that this transaction is hitch-free as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact me through the above contact details immediately as soon as you receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you immediately.Yours-In-Service,Dr. Louis EmekaMANAGER,CUSTOMER SERVICES,United Bank Of Africa.
