Subject: Dear Sir/Madam,
Dear Sir/Madam,
I Am Mr.Uziztz Hamza the Manager, Bills And
Exchange at the Foreign Remittance Department in a
Bank. Actually, I have a very urgent & confidential
Business Proposition for you & for our overall mutual
interest.On the 6th of March 2001, our Customer, an
American National, late Douglas J. Stone, an Oil
Merchant / Contractor with the Federal Government of
Nigeria, deposited, a valued amount of US$32Million in
my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine
notification to his forwarded address but got no
reply. After a month we sent a reminder, & finally we
discovered from his contract employers NNPC, that late
Douglas J. Stone , until his death six years ago in a
ghastly terrorist attack to American Airlines Flight
11, from Boston, Massachusetts, to Los Angeles,
California, crashed into the North Tower of the World
Trade Center (WTC) with 86 people on board. All
occupants of the Aeroplane unfortunately lost their
lives. On further investigation, I found out that he
did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his
Next of kin were fruitless.I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that late Douglas J.
Stone , did not declare any Next of kin in all his
official documents.This sum US$32Million is still
floating in the bank and the interest is being rolled
over with the principal sum at the end of each year.
No one will come forward to claim it. According to
Nigerian Laws, at the expiration of 7years, the money
will revert to the Ownership of the Nigerian
Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
Consequently,my proposal is that i will like you as a
foreigner to stand in as a Next of kin of late Douglas
J. Stone . This is simple. All I require is your
honest and co-operation to enable us see this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under
a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law. I will want you to send to me
on your return email the following information for the
transfer in your favor.
1. Your full names as the Beneficiary of the Fund.
2. Your contact address.
3. Your private phone and fax numbers,
Let's consider that our ratio of sharing will be as
stated Thus;
1. I as the Originator of the Fund will take 50% of
the transferable Fund.
2. You as the Manager of the Fund will take 50% of the
transferable Fund.
Most importantly, CONFIDENTAILITY as what I saw as the
life wire to the success of the transfer of this Fund
must have to be emulated between you and me. You have
to use this media to promise me that you will not in
anyway expose the content of this transaction to
anybody be it your Friends, Colleagues and
Co-Workers.I will also want you to send your reply to
this email (uziztzhamzang21@yahoo.fr) as soon as you get
this mail to enable us discuss on the modalities and
processes for success of this transaction. Thanks for
your anticipated cooperation and understanding.
I wait for your kind response.
Thanks And Remain blessed.
Mr.Uziztz Hamza
