Mr.Philip Effiong,
Headquarter,
First Bank of Nigeria Plc.
Lagos, Nigeria.
TEL:234-1-7902161
REPLY THROUGH MY PRIVATE BOX: philipeffiong@firstbanking.org
Good day,
Compliment of the day and how is life general with you? Of course it is
my humble wish to solicit and crave your indulgence to make this project
request for a joint business transaction which I hope will not come to you
as a surprise, hence I plead for your pardon.
I am Mr.Philip Effiong, the manager in headquarter first bank of Nig. Plc.
Lagos. I have an urgent and confidential business proposal for you.
On June 6, 2002, an Australlian oil consultant/contractor with
National Petroleum cooperation (NNPC) Mr. Peter Bush made a numbered time
(fixed) deposit for twelve calenderer month valued at US$86M, in my branch.
On maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarded address but
got no reply after months we send a reminder and finally we discovered from
his contract employee (Nigeria national petroleum Corporation) that Mr peter
Bush died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, it was
clear that he died without making a will.
All attempts by the Australian to trace his next of kin were fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Peter Bush
did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents
including his deposit document in my bank. The total sum
US$86M, is still in my bank as dormant acct. No one will ever
come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian banking law, after five
years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian
Government. If the account owner is certified death and nobody comes forward
to claim it.
This is the situation , and my proposal is that I am looking for a foreigner
who will stand in as the beneficiary/next of kin. This is simple. All you
have to do is to immediately send me the details of a bank account anywhere
in the world for me to arrange the proper money transfer document. The money
will then be transferred into the account for us to share in the ration
of 65% for me 25% for you while the
remaining 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred within here and there.
There is no risk involved(whatsoever), I am using my position and connection
in the bank here to do all the documention work for the transaction. We
shall employ the services of an attorney to draft the will and obtain all
necessary documents and letter of administration in your fovour for the
transfer. This transaction is risk free guaranteed.
Note that this deal is very confidential,if you are interested please reply
immediately and be rest assured that this transaction could be most profitable
for both of us. Please do not expose this deal if you are not interested
because if you do, it will take me out of seat.
I am awaiting your urgent reply.
Best regards,
Mr.Philip Effiong.
