Subject: Need your cooperation in this business.
Dear Sir,
I am the director of Bill and Exchange Department of *Unique Trust Bondage
and Financial Services *and I am reaching you following impressive
information I got about you.
In our department we discovered abandoned sum of US$9.5 million in the vault
deposit account which belongs to one of our foriegn client who died along
with his family in a plane crash.
Since we got this very information about his death, we have been expecting
his next of kin to come over for the claim of this
deposit as it cannot be released to anybody unless the next of kin or a
relation to this late client as indicated in our guidlines and bylaws, but
very unfortunate the tragedy left nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this very discovery that we decided to sent this
business proposal to you so that we will release this fund to you as the
next of kin to the deceased for subsequent disbursement since nobody is
coming for it again and we do not want this money to go into federal
treasury as unclaimed deposit.
Our banking and finance regulation and bylaws here stipulates
that such deposit should be transferred to the federal treasury as unclaimed
fund. (i.e after 6 years if remain unclaimed).
I would want you to know that our requests of a foreigner to stands as the
next of kin in this business is occassioned by such a fact that the client
was a foreigner and in that case a local person can not stand for the
claim.
We are proposing that 35% of this fund be for you as foreign partner in
respect to the role you will be playing in this business,
while 5% will be aside for sundries that might occur during the processes
and 60% would be for me and my associates.
Thereafter our successful business I and my associate will visit you for the
disbursement of the fund according to percentage indicated above.
Now to enable immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must
apply as a relation or next of kin of this deceased cleint indicating your
bank account, your private phone and fax number for easy and effective
communication.
Upon receipt of your swift reply indicating your willingness and interest
in this transaction, ...I will send you more details on how this transaction
will be carried out successfully.
Please keep this proposal as a top secret and delete if you are not
interested.
Regards,
Kokuvi ADAMS.
Bill & Exchange Director.
Unique Trust Bondage and Financial Services.
