Good day ,
I am a staff , and work with a bank (one of the African leading banks in the
West Coast. I am writing following an opportunity in my office that will be
of immense benefit to both of us. In my department we discovered an
abandoned sum of £10.5million British Pounds Sterling (Ten million five
hundred thousand British Pounds) in an account that belongs to one of our
foreign customers Late Mr. Morris Olivier an American who unfortunately lost
his life in the plane crash which crashed on January 31 2000, including his
wife and only daughter.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
kin or relatives to come over and claim his money because we cannot release
it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the
deceasedas indicated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately I learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only daughter
died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of
this fund behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I
and two other officials in this department now decided to make business with
you and release the money to you as the next of kin or beneficiary of the
funds for safety keeping and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming
for it and we don't want this money to go back into Government treasury as
unclaimed bill.The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such
money remained after five years the money will be transferred into banking
treasury as unclaimed funds.
We agreed that 35% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, 10% for
reimbursement to both parties for incidental expenses that may be incurred
in the course of the transaction for insurance, phone bills and taxes etc
while the balance will be for me and my colleagues. I will visit your
country for the disbursement according to the percentages indicated above
once this money gets into your account. Please be honest to me and trust is
our watchword in this transaction.
Note this transaction is confidential and risk free. As soon as you receive
this mail you should contact me by reply mail.Please note that all
necessaryarrangement for the smooth release of these funds to you has been
finalized.
We will discuss much in details when I do receive your response.
Best regards,
Mr. Aminu Waziri.
