(A.D.B) AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK OF NIGERIA.
DESK OF :DR.JOSEPH KUZUE.
Lagos-Nigeria.
RC.27199
Dear Sir/Madam,
STRICTLY A PRIVATE BUSINESS PROPOSAL
I am DR.JOSEPH KUZUE, The manager, Bills and Exchange at the Foreign Remittance
Department of the A.D.B Bank of Nigeria
Plc. I am writing this letter to ask for your support and cooperation to
carry out this business opportunity in my department. We discovered an abandoned
sum of $15,000,000M
USDOLLARS (15 million United States Dollars only) in an account that belongs
to one of our foreign customers who died along with
his entire family of a wife and two children in PLANE CRASH.
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
their family member nor distant relative has everappeared 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;
20 % for you as foreign partner,
75 % for us the officials in my department and
5 % for the settlement of all local and foreign expences 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 75 % we intend to import Agricultural Machineries 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 your
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, this transaction must be kept STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL because of
its nature.
I look forward to receiving your prompt response.
DR. JOSEPH KUZUE.
