I write this august letter in confidence, believing that it will reach you in high spirit and I believe you will maintain the level of confidence and trust matters of this nature requires. Though, I know that this proposal may make you apprehensive and worried, but I assure you that all will be well at the end. Before proceeding, I wish to introduce myself. I am Adams Williams, Deputy General Manager, (Credit Controls) with Zenith Bank Plc, Lagos.
The Proposal:
An American Citizen, Late Engineer. Roy wheeler, a Petrochemical Engineer with Eleme Petro-Chemical Co. Rivers State. Until his death in Caribbean cruise plane crash in July 2000, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/859479.stm
he operated a domiciliary account with us and had a closing balance as at the end of February, 2000 amounting to $10,500,000.00 ( Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only), the bank now expects a next of kin as beneficiary to no avail. Valuable efforts have been made by Zenith Bank Plc to get in touch with any of late Engineer Roy wheeler's family as beneficiary to his estates without success.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any of Late Engr. Roy wheeler's next of kin, since he had no wife or children that is known to the bank.
Consequently, the Chairman and the board of Directors are planning to declare the fund Unclaimed and transfer it to Special Trust fund for purchase of arms and ammunition for ECOMOG soldiers in Nigeria and Cameroon zones in the central Africa sub-regions. In other to avert this negative development, I now seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin to the estate of late Engr. Roy wheeler, so that the fund
$10,500,000.00 will be released and paid into your account as beneficiary's next of kin.
I will help to arrange all documents and proves to enable us get this fund(s) out. I have secured from the probate registry an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiary and more so; I am assuring you that this transaction is risk free. Once the fund is moved to your nominated account, you will be entitling to 35%. Your share stays while the rest be for me and some people I will settle here. You will be entitled to substantial part from my percentage in trust for investment.
As soon as I receive your acceptance in principle, I will furnish you with the necessary modalities for commencement. Finally, I am relying in my confidence in you, haven opened up to you; you can contact me via my alternative email address: (adamsw.esq@hotmail.com)
If however you are not interested, please feel free to destroy this
information as I will continue to look for a willing partner(s).
Yours Faithfully,
Adams Williams
