Very Urgent Attention,
Please permit me to introduce my humble self to you, my name is Mr. Steven
James, I am the Manager of International Relation with First Bank of Nigeria
Plc, I 'm 38yrs old, and I got your email address from a friend of mine,
and my confidence reposed on you. I hope you read this message carefully and
reply me immediately. Although we have not met before, but I suggest that
this
transaction will bring us together.
My dear, we had a customer, a foreigner but base here in Nigeria, his Name
was
Mr. Hamilton Creek. He is from Atlanta Georgia United State of America, but
based here with his wife and his two children, Mr. Hamilton has being
banking
with us for the past 4yrs and some time in August 2002, Mr. Hamilton was on
his
way to his house, and unfortunately ran into a Trailer load of Groundnut
Oil,
and died immediately, Their car got burnt, no single soul was saved, Mr.
Hamilton Creek and His entire family was confirmed dead.
My Board of Directors and the Management of First Bank has mandated and
instructed me to look for Mr. Hamilton Creek? Relation(s) and his Next of
Kin
to come and claim his fund, Since August 2003 till date, I have been looking
for his relation's or his next of Kin to come and claim his fund which he
Deposited with our bank, I have contacted his Embassy and after 3days, his
Ambassador told me that Mr. Hamilton Creek has no relation and no next of
Kin,
their Ambassador told me that he used his first son as His next of kin, but
it
is quite unfortunate that Mr. Hamilton Creek Died with all his family
members.
The reason why I contacted you is thus, Mr. Hamilton is dead, and his only
son
who supposed to inherit his properties and money also died with him. As at
this
moment, nobody or person[s] is coming to claim this Money from our bank.
The
Board of Directors and management of our bank told me that if nobody or
person[s] apply for the claim of Mr. Hamilton Fund, the bank will return the
entire Fund into our Federal reserve. In the Light of the above, I want you
to
stand as the next of kin to Late Mr. Hamilton Creek; it might interest you
to
know that he had a Domiciliary Bank Account with our Bank and he has a total
sum of US$9.2M Nine Million Two Hundred thousand Dollars, this is the exact
amount which he had in his domiciliary account before the ugly incident
occurred, and this money is still in his account as unclaimed money.
This transaction is very easy and simple, and it is 100% risk free, I'm the
Manager for International Relations with First Bank of Nigeria Plc, and the
Management and Board of Directors of the Bank are waiting for me to provide
to
them the Relation or next of Kin to late Mr. Hamilton Creek, of which I told
them that I am still searching the next of kin to the deceased. Finally, if
you
are interested with this transaction, I will front you to the bank as the
only
next of kin to late Mr. Hamilton Creek, and I will let the bank know that
you
are the only right person to inherit Late Mr. Hamilton Funds and properties.
If
you are interested, just email me or call me on my direct and private
line#:
+234-80-27536038 and late Mr. Hamilton's Funds will be credited into your
account and all his Properties will be released to you either through
Courier
Services or the Bank will Cargo all his properties to you in any were you
want
it.
So reply me immediately and feel free to ask any question with regards to
this
transaction. You will take 50% of the US$9.2M. Which is? US$4.600, 000.00
Four
Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars, while the Balance of the same amount
will
be mine.
Your swift response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and have a nice day.
Friendly Regards
Mr. Steven James
