Dear Sir,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction; this is by virtue
of its nature as being utterly CONFIDENTAIL. I am MRS MARY WILLIAMS OF WEMA
BANK PLC. I am the personnel account manager of Mr. ROBERT ZIMMERMAN a National
of your country, who worked at shell oil Development Company here in Nigeria.
On the 19th Oct. 2000,our customer, his wife And his only child were involved
in a car accident along Port-Harcourt 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 his extended relatives this has proved
abortive After these several attempts, I decided to contact you to act as
his next of Kin since you bear the same last name with him.
I have contacted you to assist me in getting back the money and properties
left behind by our customer before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable
by our bank where he deposited sum off US$12.150 million dollars (THE WEMA
BANK PLC) and the banking guidelines of THE WEMA BANK PLC stipulates that
if such money remained unclaimed for over a period of (5 years) and few
months, with the account unserviceable the money will be confiscated and
this will happen after the next fifteen days, if nobody comes for the money
Since we have not seen any body for the money and his properties for the
last four years and our bank has been notifying the Rotary club for the
past two years.
Now, I seek your consent to present yourself as the next of kin of the deceased
since nobody have come to lay claims on this fund, so that the proceeds
of this account valued at US$12.150 million dollars can be paid to you and
then you and I can share the money. All the Bio data of MR. ROBERT ZIMMERMAN
is on my desk.
I guarantee you that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law, and I will advice you
on how you will act as the next of kin to the deceased so that the US$12.150
million dollars will be transferred into your nominated bank account. Please,
kindly get in touch with me through this email: williamsm_wema@yahoo.com,
so that we can commence action immediately.
Awaiting your prompt response.
Best Regards,
Mrs. Mary Williams
