Attn: President/CEO
Dear Sir,
First I must solicit your confidence in the transaction, this is by virtue
of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. Though I know
that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and
worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day.
We have decided to contract you due to the urgency of this transaction,
as we have been reliably informed of your discreteness and ability in transaction
of this nature.
Let me start by first introducing myself properly to you. I am DR.IBRAHIM
ADISA, a Director with the Union Bank of Nigeria plc, Lagos. I came to know
of you in my private search for reliable and reputable person to handle
this confidential transaction, which involves the transfer of a huge sum
of money to a foreign Account requiring maximum confidence.
THE POSITION: A foreigner, LATE ENGINNER JAMES AKMEH, an oil Merchant/Contractor
with the Federal Government of Nigeria,
until his death a year ago in a ghastly air crash, banked with us here at
Union Bank of Nigeria plc, Lagos, and had a closing balance as at the end
of March 2000 worth US$21.6M (TWENTY - ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND
UNITED STATES DOLLARS) which the bank now expects a next of kin to Beneficiary.
Valuable efforts are being made by the Union Bank to get in touch with any
of the Akmeh?s family or relatives but they has been no success.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any
of Late Engr. James Akmeh?s next of kin (he had no known wife nor children
that known to us). The management under the influence of our chairman and
member of the Board of Directors retired Major General Umaru Shelling, that
arrangement has been made for the funds to be declared ?UNCLAIMABLE? and
subsequently be donated to the Trust fund. In order to advert this negative
development, some of my trusted colleagues and I now seek your permission
to have you stand as a
next-of-kin to Late Engr. James akmeh so that the fund US$21.6M would be
released and paid into your account as the beneficiary next - of - kin.
All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked
out, we have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any
of the deceased beneficiaries and more so we are assuring you of a 100%
risk free involvement. Your share stays while the rest would be for myself
and my colleagues for investment purpose in your country.
We have agreed that, the fund be shared thus, after it has been transferred
into your account:
1. 30% of the money will go to you for acting as the beneficiary of the
fund.
2. 5% will be set aside for reimbursement to both Parties for any incidental
expenses that may be incurred in the course of the transfer. if possible
i can try source for loan in respect to this transfer.
3. 65% to us the originators of the transaction.
If this proposal is acceptable by you do not make undue advantage of trust
we have bestowed on you and your company, then kindly get to me immediately
through my email or phone number above.
Please furnish me with your most confidential TELEPHONE, FAX NUMBER and
exclusive Bank/Account particulars so that I can use this information to
apply for the release and subsequent transfer of the funds in your favour.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated co-operation.
Yours faithfully
DR.IBRAHIM ADISA
Director (UNION BANK OF NIGERIA PLC).
