Dear sir,
I am Mr. Mohamed Zaki the Head of Consumer
Banking of Standard Chartered Bank Plc, Victoria Island, Lagos I have
urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On Nov. 30,
2003,MR.JAMES ,who might be a national of your country was a
consultant/Contractor with the National Oil Nigeria LTD, made a numbered
time(Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at
US$10,611,000.00 (TENMillion six hundred and eleven thousand US Dollars
only) in my branch.Upon maturity, we sent a routine notification to
his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a
reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the
National Oil LTD that he died from an automobile crash. All attempts to
trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that he did not declare any kin or relations
in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my
Bank. This sum of US$10,611,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and
the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end
of each year. No one has ever come forward to claim it. According to
Nigerian Law, at he expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will
revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies
to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you to
act as the next of kin to him so that the fruits of this old man's labour
will not get into the hands of government treasury. To advance the
course of this proposal, I will like you to provide immediately your
full names and address so that the attorney will use them to prepare
the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the
next of kin. We shall employ the service of an Attorney for drafting
and notarization of the "WILL" and to obtain the necessary documents
and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the
transfer.
A Bank Account in any part of the world, which you will
provide, will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the
beneficiary/next of kin.The money will be paid into your Account for us to
share in the ratio that will be agreed upon by two of us. All as all
the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and
my position as the branch manager guarantees the successful execution of
this transaction.
If you are interested in this proposal, I shall then
provide you with more details and relevant information that will help
you understand the transaction. Please observe utmost confidentiality,and
be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of
us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your
country.
Awaiting your urgent reply Waiting for your urgent
reply. Thank you. Mohamed Zaki
