Dear Friend,
I am professor hakeem bello osagie senior director
accounts/audit department, in standard trust bank plc ,Mr.
hedgepath, who was a consultant with
Shell-development
Company in Nigeria and a personal friend Died and left
behind his deposit in this bank (STANDARD TRUST BANK PLC)
valued $10,723,822.90.
My relationship with Mr.hedgepath started in 1992 when I
was a
supervisor in standard trust bank marina branch. We met in
my social club annual end of the year party and I
introduced him to my bank where he opened this account some
few weeks later making me the account officer to the
account and he operated this account until his death.
On the 22nd of April 1999, Mr.hedgepath mark, his wife and
their
three children were involved in a car accident along Sagamu
express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately
lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries
to your embassy to locate any of Mr. hedgepath's extended
relatives this has also proved unsuccessful. After these
several unsuccessful attempts, to locate any member of his
family hence I contacted you.
I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money
left behind by Mr.hedgepath before they get confiscated
since
the bank has declared the account unserviceable. I have
been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3years
since I was recalled back to marina branch as a senior
manager from a transfer that took me to another branch of
the bank. I therefore seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin of the deceased , so that the proceeds of
this account valued at $10,723,822.90(Ten Million seven
hundred and twenty three thousand eight hundred and
twenty-two dollars, ninety cents) can be paid to you and
then you and i can share the money. While 5% will be map
out for any expenses that will be incurred in the process.
I have access to all necessary legal documents that can be
used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is
your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law. Please get in touch with me through my email:
professorhakeemosagie@yahoo.com and send to me your full
name telephone and fax numbers to enable us discuss further
about this transaction.
