Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Rowland Ijiego,Manager,Bills and Exchange at the foreign remittance
department of the Lagoon International Bank Plc. I am writing this letter
to ask for your support and cooperation in carrying out this business opportunity
in my department. We discovered an abandoned sum of $9,000,000.00 (Nine
Million United States Dollars only) in an account that belongs to one of
our Foreign customers who met his untimely death as a result of the terrorist
attack on United States America on September 11th,2001.
Since we heard of his death, we have been expecting His next-of-kin to come
over and put claims for his Money as the heir, because we cannot release
the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin
to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Unfortunately, Neither
family member nor distant relative has ever appeared to claim the said fund.
Upon this discovery I and other officials in my department have agreed to
make business with you and release the total amount into your account as
the heir of the fund since no one came for it or discovered he maintained
account with Our bank, otherwise the fund will be returned to the Banks
treasury as unclaimed fund. We have agreed that our ratio of sharing will
be
As stated thus;
30 % for you as foreign partner,
60 % for us the officials in my department and
10 % for the settlement of all local and
Foreign expenses incurred by us and you during the course of this business.
Upon the successful completion of this transfer, I and one of my Colleagues
will come to your country and mind our share. it is from our 60 % we intend
to import agricultural Machinery's into my country as a way of recycling
the fund.
To commence this transaction, we require you to
Immediately indicate your interest by a return
E-mail and enclose your private contact telephone number,Fax Number full
name and address and you're designated Bank coordinates to enable us file
letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary Approvals before
the transfer can be made. Note also,that this transaction must be kept strictly
confidential because of it's nature.
