Dear friend,
I am Mr. Kamal habeeb, the director in charge of auditing and acounting
department of the Standard Trust Bank PLC., [STB PLC] Lagos - Nigeria. I
am contacting you on a business transaction that would benefit both of us
tremendously as I managed to get your contact details through over the internet
and time is of great importance, but only if you are really willing to assist.
An oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
- Mr. Andrew P.S. made a numbered time [Fixed Deposit] on January 5, 2001,
valued at US$6 Million [Six Million US Dollars], for a duration of twelve
[12] calender months at my bank. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification
to his forwarding address but got no reply. Subsequent month again, I sent
a reminder and finally I found
out from his contract employers viz, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
that Mr. Andrew who was around the Ikeja area on that fateful day died with
his wife and only child in the Ikeja bomb blast of the January 27, 2002.
On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL,
and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that the deceased
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$6 Million
is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the
principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to
claim it. According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 4 [four]
years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian 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 Late Mr.
Andrew - so that the fruits of this old man's labour would not get into
the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I would
appreciate it if you dare to provide immediately your full names and address
so that the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents and affidavits
that will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the service
of two lawyers for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the
necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for
the transfer. A bank account 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 for us to share in the
ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you. There is no risk at all as all the
paperwork for this transaction will be done by a reputable attorney and
my position as a Director guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.
If you are willing to assist and capable, please reply immediately and upon
your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents
that will help you see the light regarding this transaction. Please observe
utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction would
be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance
to invest my share in your country. Awaiting your prompt response.
Sincerely,
Mr Kamal Habeeb
