FROM THE DESK;
MR. ATTA S. MILLS
INLAND BANK OF NIGERIA PLC
APAPA BRANCH,
LAGOS
Dear Sir
Please forgive my impetus as I am pressed by the situation at hand
to have contacted you thus, I am Mr Atta S. Mills,The Assistant
Bank Manager of INLAND BANK OF NIGERIA PLC, lagos
branch, I have urgent and very confidential business to share with
you.
In June 6, 1998, a foreign Oil consultant/contractor Engr Spurgeon
Henderson, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve
calendar months,valued at US$12.500.000.00 (Twelve Million Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars United States Dollars Only) in my
branch. Upon maturity of the deposit, I sent a routine notification
to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from
his contract employers, The Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation
here that Engr spurgeon died in an automobile accident with his
entire family that are living with him here.
On further investigation, I found out that he died without making
a WILL (instate), and all attempts to trace his next of kin was
fruitless.I therefore made further investigation and discovered that
Engr Spurgeon did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his
official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my
Bank.
This sum of US$12,500,000.00 is still floating in my Bank and the
interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of
each year. No one has ever come forward to claim it and according
to the Laws of my country governing every financial institution, at
the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the
purse/treasury of the Government if nobody applies to claim the
fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand in as the next of kin to the late Engr. Spurgeon, for the fact
that he is a foreigner like you which is a treamedious advantage to
us/you in this transction so that the fruits of this old man's labor
will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
The truth is this, We shall employ the services of an attorney for
drafting and notarization of a (WILL) and to obtain the necessary
documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for
the transfer. I will like you to provide me your full names and
address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents
and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin to the
deceased.
A bank account details in any part of the world that you will
provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the
beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account
to be shared in the ratio that will be negotiable between us upon
your acceptance to work with me, all expenses will be included.
Please let me have your most confidential phone and fax number
too.
There is no risk involved as all the paperwork for this transaction
will be processed through an attorney and my position as the
Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this
transaction.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details
and relevant documents that will help you understand the
transaction better,please send your response to my direct and
private email addresss at attasmills@yahoo.com or
attasmills@trust-me.com only as stated here for confidential
reasons.
Thank you for your understanding.
Regards
Mr Atta S. Mills
