HELLO,
Greetings,How are you today,I do hope that you are fine.I'm aware that
this unexpected letter will come to you as a surprise I apologies for
any inconvenience, but please do bear with me for I am only seeking for
your help. I got your email address from network directory.please you should
exercise some patience and read through my message. I have a very urgent and
confidential business proposal for you.
My name is MR.EMMANUEL DELE. I am the eastern manager of UNITED BANK OF
AFRICA NIGERIA PLC (U.B.A).
I want to transfer out $USD 26 million ( TWENTY SIX MILLION U.S DOLLARS)
from our bank. I have the courage to look for a reliable and honest person
who will be capable for this important business,believing that you will
never let me down either now or in future.There is an account opened in this bank in 1980 and since 1990 nobody
has operated on this account again,after going through some old files in
the records I discovered that if I do not remitte this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account is ENGR. JACK HAMILTON, he is a foreigner and
the manager of petrol chemical service,a chemical Engineer by
proffession and he died since 1990, and since then no other person knows about this
account or anything concerning it.secondly he did not clearify his next of kin
in his deposition form when he deposited this fund in our bank.The account
has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that his
company does not know anything about this account and the amount involved is
(U.S.$26,000,000.00)
I want to transfer this money into a safe foreign account abroad but i
don't know any foreigner,I am contacting you as a foreigner because this
money cannot be approved to any local bank here but can only be approved to a
foreign account because the money is in u.s dollars and the former owner of the
account (ENGR. JACK HAMILTON) is a foreigner too. I know that this message will
come to you as a surprise as we don't know ourself before,but be sure that
it is real and a genuine business.I believe in god that you will never let
me down in this business,you are the only person that i have contacted for
this business for now,so please reply urgently so that we can receive this
money into a foreign account or any account ofyour choice where the fund will be remmited.
I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with a
foreign account as the real beneficiary,I need your co-operation to make
this work fine,because the management of our bank is ready to approve this
payment to any foreigner who has the correct information to this account which
i will give to you when sure of your capability to handle such amount
with instrict confidence and trust,and according to my instructions and my
advice for our mutual benefit because I don't want to make any mistake. I need
your strong assurance and trust, I shall also destroy all documents
concerning this transactions immidiately we received this money in your account
leaving no trace to any place. I will use my position and influence on other
staffs to effect legal approvals and onward transfer ofthis money to your account with appropriate clearance from foreign
payment department,with assurance that this money will be intact pending my
physical arrival in your country for the sharing and other investment.
Finally,at the conclusion of this business,I will give you 25% of the
total amount,70% will be for me ,while 5% will be for expenses both
parties might have incured during the process of this transaction.Please
try and negotiatefor me some profitable blue chip investment opportunities
which is risk free which I can invest with this money when it is transferred
to your account and I am interested in estate management and hotel
business, please advise me.Please reply this letter immediately.
