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, 1999, 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 labour 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 attasmills03@yahoo.co.uk,
attasmills@trust-me.com or attasmills@myway.com only as stated here for
confidential reasons.
Thank you for your understanding.
Regards
Mr Atta S. Mills
