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 Mr.Olu Adams, Deputy General Manager, (credit&Controls) of a community bank in Lagos. I got your contact from a reliable fellow. The Proposal: A Chinese Citizen, Late Engr. Tom Andrews, a Petrochemical Engineer with Eleme Petro-chemical Co.Rivers State. Until his death in ADC plan crash in November 2000, operated a domiciliary account with us and had a closing balance as at the end of September 2000 amounting to $15,500,000.00 ( Fiften Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only), the bank now expects a next of kin as beneficiary. Valueable efforts ha ve b
een made by the managment to get in touch with any of the late Tom Andrews'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.Andrews's next of kin, since he had no wife or children that is known to the bank, that 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 sierra Leone and Liberia in the West- 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. Tom Andrews, so that the fund $15,500,000.00 will be released and paid into your account as beneficiary's next of kin. I will help you to arrange all documents and modalities to enable us get this fund 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 t
his transaction is risk free. Once the fund is moved to your nominated account, you will be entitled to 35%. You will be entrusted with a substantial part from my share,to be held in trust for investment purposes for me. 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, having opened up to you, if however you are not interested,please feel free to destroy this information as I will continue to scout for willing partner(s). Yours Faithfully, Mr. Olu Adams. Reply to my alternative;oluadams@k.ro
