MY DEAR FRIEND,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue
if its nature as being utterly CONFIDENTIAL and TOPSECRET.
Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude
will make anyone apprehensive and worried,but I am assuring you that all
will be well at the end of the day.
I have decided to
contact you due to the urgency of his transaction, as I have been reliably
informed of your ability to keep secret sin transactions of this nature.
Let me start by first introducing
myself properly to you.
I am MR.JOHN MOMOH, an accountant with the Access Bank of Nigeria,Plc.I
came to know of you in my private search for a reliable and reputable person
to handle this confidential transaction which involves the transfer of a
huge sum of money to a foreign account requiring maximum confi!dence.
THE PROPOSAL
A foreigner, Late Roy Halaby,an Oil Merchant/Contractor with the Federal
Government of Nigeria, until his death five years ago in an air crash,banked
with us here at Access Bank of Nigeria, Plc.and had a closing balance of
US$10.5M (Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) which
the bank now unquestionably expects to be claimed by any availableforeign
next-of-kin of the Late beneficiary oralternatively,be donated to a discredited
trust fund for arms and ammunition at a military war college here in Nigeria.
Fervent efforts are being made by the Access Bank of
Nigeria,Plc. to get in touch with any of the Halaby's family or relatives
to no avail.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any
of Late Roy Halaby's next-of-kin (he had no known wife nor children) that
the management under the influence of our Chairman and the board of director!s,directed
that an arrangement be made for the funds to be declaredUNCLAIMABLE and
subsequently be donated to the Trust Fund for Arms and Ammunition to further
enhance war in Africa and the world in
general.
In order to avert this negative development, some of my trusted colleagues
and I now seek your permission to have you stand as the next-of-kin to Late
Roy Halaby so that the funds, US$10.5M would be released and paid into your
bank account as the beneficiary's next-of-kin.
All documents and proof that will enable you get this fund will be carefully
worked out and more so, we are assuring you of a 100% risk free involvement.
Your share stays with you while the rest would be for myself and my colleagues
for investment purposes in your country.
We have agreed that the funds will be shared thus:-1.30% of the money will
go to you for acting as the beneficiary of the Funds.
2.10% will be set aside for reimbursement to both parties for any incidental
expenses that may be incurred in the c!ourse of the transfer,3.60% to us
the originators of the transaction.
If this proposal is OK by you and you do not wish to take undue advantage
of the trust we hope to bestow on you, then kindly get in touch with me
immediately via my private email furnishing me with your most confidential
telephone,fax number and exclusive bank particulars
so that I can use these information to apply for the release and subsequent
transfer of the funds in your favour.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated co-operation.
Yours faithfully,
MR JOHN MOMOH,
ACCOUNTANT,
(ACCESS BANK OF NIG; PLC).
