Mr.Rowland Ijiego
Lagoon Inter'nl Bank Plc
Lagos,Nigeria.
Emai:rowlandijiego@hotmail.com
Dear Friend,
In order to transfer out (US$67 Million) sixty-seven Million United States
Dollars from Lagoon
International Bank Plc.I have picked-up the trust and courage to write you
this letter with
divine confidence that you are a reliable and honest person who will be
capable for this
important business transaction believing also that you will never let me
down either now or in
the future.
My name is Mr.Rowland Ijiego,a senior Auditing Officer with the Lagoon International
Bank in
Nigeria.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 remit this money out urgently it would be forfeited for nothing. The
owner of this account
died since 1990. No other person knows about this account or any thing concerning
it, the account
has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that
this Bank does not know
anything about this account and the amount involved is (US$67 million)sixty-seven
million United
States Dollars.I want to transfer this sum of sixty-seven million United
States Dollars into a
safe foreign account abroad.
I am contacting you based on the fact that you are a foreigner because this
money can only be
approved for payment to a foreigner, moreso, it can not be approved by any
local bank here, as
this money is in US Dollars hence the former owner of this account is a
foreigner too. I know
that this proposal will come to you as a surprise as we don't know ourselves
before. however I
got your contact from the world trade center (WTC)A Regional office in
lagos,Nigeria.Although
the details of my intention was not made known to them.
However,we will still have to meet possibly, sign some agreement before
the final transfer of the
fund into any of your chosen designated bank account. I have involved a
very senior official in
the operational department and we have agreed that after the transfer of
the money into your
account, you shall be entitled to 25% of the total sum, we the officials
will take 70% while 5%
is for expenses. All necessary precautions have been taken to ensure a risk
free situation on the
side of both parties.
Please note that this deal can only take place on the following conditions:-
1.You will provide the bank account and other relevant particulars/information
for easy and
onward Remittance of this money.
2.Absolute confidentiality and sincerity will be required and guaranteed,
considering our (me and
my partners) positions in the bank.
3.Assurance that our own due share will be released to us in good faith
when this money finally
gets into your account.
All things being equal, this transaction will be within 10 working days
as soon as we hear from
you.
**Please treat with utmost confidentiality. Contact me as quickly as possible
through my
alternative e-mail box <rowlandijiego@hotmail.com>.
Expecting your urgent response,
Best Regards,
Mr.Rowland Ijiego
