Dear Friend,
BELIEVE AND TRUST
I am Manager Blessing Favour. I am pleased to get across to you for a very
urgent and profitable business proposal, this may come to you as a Surprise
as we have not met before. But I can trust a Person of your caliber.
The intended business is thus, I am the Personal Account Manager to Mr.
Joseph Garner a Foreigner resident here in Nigeria, he was an
consultant/Contractor with the government parastatals.
Mr. Joseph Garner died from an automobile accident, my client, his wife and
their children were involved in the accident them perished in Auto Crash
with the whole passengers aboard. Unfortunately they all lost their lives in
the event of the accident, since then I have made several enquiries to
locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace
his relatives over the Internet, to locate any member of his family but of
no avail, hence I contacted you.
I have to be sincere and honest with you, I contacted you to assist in
repatriating the money and property left behind by my late client before
they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by Spring Bank Plc where
these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Spring Bank Plc where the
deceased had an (fixed) account valued at about (USD6.5 million dollars).
Consequently, The Spring Bank Plc issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin or have the account confiscated within the the next 21 official working
days. since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3
years now, please I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of
the deceased since you have the same surname, so that the proceeds of this
account valued at (USD6.5 million dollars) can be paid to you and then you
and I can share the money.
(1) 40% for you as the account owner
(2) 50% for I
(3) 10% will be set aside to defray all incidental expenses both locally and
internationally during the cause of this transaction.
I know that you may not relate to my late client but I contact you on this
transaction based on the fact that you share the same surname with my late
client, it will be very easy to convince the bank since I have the necessary
documents to backup the claim. I have all necessary legal documents that can
be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest
co-operation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law.
As soon as you agree to co-operate with me, I will meet with the officials
of our Spring Bank Plc and present your information as the next of kin to my
late client together with some relevant documents, they will just go ahead
and pay the money into your account and I will come over to your country for
the sharing of the fund.
Please get in touch with me on my Email: blessingfavour@live.com, to enable
us discuss further. please if you are not ready to transact this business
with me, tell me so that I will look for other alternative to get this money
from the Bank.
Yours faithfully,
Blessing Favour.
