Subject: FROM LAWYER DAVID
Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Tajudeen A. Adeola. Director of Records at the foriegn exchange remitance department of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc. While going through my records I discovered that the account of Engr. Knotts Robert who was our customer, has been dormant for the past four years and on further inquire, I disovered that Engr. Robert Knotts died ever since the year 2000.
All efforts to trace his next of kin has proofed apportive and the Nigerian banking law/guide line stipulates that if such money(s) remains unclaimed after a preiod of five years(5yrs) it will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed funds.
I therefore wish to seek your assistance in claiming this fund hence you can stand as a next of kin to Eng. Robert Knotts.
The amount is about $11.5MUSD, I have all the required documents including his death certificate, therefore getting the funds transferred will be very easy. since a foriegner is acting as the next of kin/beneficary of his wealth.
If you are interested and for more detals please contact me.
Tajudeen A. Adeola.
