Mr R Von Heinz
Sparda Bank,
Nigerian.
Your response to my barrister Mr John Kelly Esq at
barrjkelly@consultant.com
Sir;
PRIVATE AND URGENT.
I am contacting you on business transfer of a huge sum
of money from a
deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of
this magnitude
will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am
sure that you are
experienced in handling this sums.
We decided to contact you due to the urgency of this
transaction.
PROPOSITION;
We discovered an abandoned sum of US$29,500,000.00
(Twenty-Nine Million
Five Hundred United States dollars) in an account that
belongs to one
of our foreign customers who paid in these funds into
our bank as
depository for an investment program she was involved.
She was at our bank
five(5) months ago at the begining of this investment
program, but
unfortunately she died.
The details of the investment program states that she
and she only is
in control of the funds and it was invested out of her
corporate estate.
Her family records are not stated in our bank records
and in her
investment program contracts. Thus her family are not
aware, incidentally she
is a widow
The rules in our bank here in Switzerland puts the
money under current
Bank Assets as soon as they do not get communication
from the accounts
owner within a stipulated period agreed during the
clients accounts
opening. In the case of this customer, she is meant to
send banking
instructions every three mnoths.
She died months ago and I got to know from my
sources, and her obituary has also stated in the link
below:
http://www.herald-journal.com/obits/2004/barnes010
4.html
She has been buried and I know no one knows about
these funds. Since her death, none of her next-of-kin
or relations has come forward to lay claims for this
money as the heir.
We cannot release the fund from her account unless
someone applies for
claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated
in our banking
guidelines.
Upon this discovery, we now seek your permission to
have you stand as a
next of kin to the deceased as all documentations will
be carefully
worked out by us for the funds (US$29,500,000.00) to
be released in
your favour as the beneficiary's next of kin.
It may interest you to know that we have secured from
the probate an
ORDER OF MADAMUS to locate any of deceased
beneficiaries.
Please acknowledge receipt of this message in
acceptance of our mutual
business endeavour by furnishing the below to my
representing
Attorney(Mr.John Kelly) at barrjkelly@consultant.com
1. Beneficiary name and address
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers
These requirements will enable us file letter of claim
to the
appropriate departments for necessary approvals in
your favour before the
transfer can be made. We look forward to your
suggestions and sharing
formula. Your share stays while the rest shall be for
us for investment
purposes. If this proposal is acceptable by you, we
expect that you will not
take undue advantage of the trust we have bestowed in
you.
I await your urgent mail.
Regards,
Mr. Von Heinz.
