WE DISCOVERED AN ABANDONED SUM OF $15,000,000.00 (FIFTEEN 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 NOVEMBER 1997 IN A MOTOR ACCIDENT.
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 EVER
APPEARED 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; 30 % FOR
YOU AS FOREIGN PARTNER, 60 % FOR US THE OFFICIALS IN MY
DEPARTMENT AND 10% 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 60 % 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
DEPARTMENT
FOR NECESSARY APPROVALS BEFORE THE TRANSFER CAN BE MADE.
NOTE ALSO, THIS TRANSACTION MUST BE KEPT STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL BECAUSE OF
IT'S NATURE.
