Mr. Muha Gambo
Foreign Operations Office,
International Trust Bank Plc.,
ICON House, 6th Floor, Idejo Street,
Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.
Dear sir,
I am Mr. Muha Gambo, Divisional Head, Foreign Operations Office with the
International Trust Bank Plc. I was personal account manager to one late
Engineer Walter stover, who till his death was a contractor with Impressario
Nigeria Limited, Moenier Oil & Gas Consult and Nigerian Ports authority.
On the 28th of November 1999, Engr. walter stover , his wife and their two
children were involved in a car accident along Ibadan express road and all
occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. At the time of
his death,Mr. Walter stover ,had a deposit of $15.6 Million which was proceed
of a contract work he just concluded with the Nigerian Ports authority.
The payment was made with an Ecobank cheque which I personally cleared.
Unfortunately, till this moment no one has come as his relation for his
deposit with us. My colleagues and I humbly request your attention to this
matter so that we can present you as his next of kin or beneficiary to his
deposit. It is not a very difficult thing to do and it will not take time
too. All we need is to change the name and particulars of his next of kin
to yours in our computer database and we file in an application for the
release of the fund through the Probate Office in your name.
It does not necessarilly mean that you must be here to conclude the deal,
we may request that the money be sent to Europe or even the United States
for payment. Please contact me as quickly as possible on email; muha5gambo@latinmail.com
and also furnish me with your telephone and fax numbers. We will talk
about the sharing ratio as soon as you get in touch with me.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU USE THE ABOVE EMAIL ADDRESS ie;muha5gambo@latinmail.com
Kind regards,
Muha Gambo
