Dear Friend,
I am Dr.MACK SIMON, of Bills and Exchange at the foreign remittance Department
of the AFIRCAN DEVELOPMENT BANK OF NIGERIA PLC I am writing this letter
to ask for your support and co-operation to carry out this business opportunity
in my department.
I discovered an abandoned sum of $20.565m (twenty million, five hundred
and sixty five thousand united states dollars only) in Account Number 11008734290
status of account fixed deposit account, that belongs to one of our foreign
customer Mr. JOHN WON C.E.O., WONG JOHN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY NIGERIA LIMITED,
Who died along with his entire family in November 2001 in a plane crash.
Since we got information about his death we can not release the money unless
somebody applies for it as the next of kin or relation to the deceased.
As indicated in our banking guidelines. Unfortunately, neither the family
members nor the relations have appeared to claim this money. At this discovery,
I decided to do business with you and release the money to you as the next
of kin or relation of the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement
since nobody is coming for it and I don't want this money to go into the
bank treasury as an unclaimed debt.
The banking law and guidelines of AFIRCAN DEVELOPMENT BANK OF NIGERIA PLC
stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed for a period of Six (6)
years it will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The
need for a foreigner as next of kin in this sense is occasioned by the fact
that the customer was a foreigner and as a Nigerian cannot stand as his
next of kin or heir. I agreed that 30% of the money will be for you as foreign
partner, thereafter I will visit your country for disbursement according
to the percentage indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of the fund to you as
Indicated. You must apply to the bank as relation or next of kin of the
Deceased. Indicating your bank number and indicating where the money will
be remitted. Upon receipt of reply .
I will send to you the text of application as soon as you receive this letter
you should reach me through my above e-mail immediately and indicate your
direct and confidential telephone number for effective communication hoping
to here from you through my alternative E-mail
Yours Faithfully,
DR.MACK SIMON
