Dear Sir
Mail:da_musa@mmail.com
Greetings,
I crave your indulgence as I contact you in such a surprising manner. But
I respectfully insist you read this letter carefully as I am optimistic
it will open doors for unimaginable financial reward for both of us. This
business transaction might not fall within the wide spectrum of your
business activities, but I plead your assistance, as your flair for profitable
business is needed. Permit me to introduce myself.
I am Mr.Dan Musa Personal account manager of late Mr Alam A. Jani in citi
trust bank,I am writing this letter to ask for your support and co-operation
to carry out this business opportunity in my department. Every five years,
Nigeria banks transfer to its treasury millions of dollars of unclaimed
deceased depositors funds in compliance with the banking laws and guidelines,
in majority of cases with reference to my bank-Citi trust , the money normally
runs into several millions of dollars. A foreigner, Late Engineer Mr Alan
A Jani, an Oil Merchant/Contractor in
Lagos Nigeria ,until his death four years ago in a ghastly air crash has
a closing balance of US$14,700,000.00 (fourteen point seven million Dollars)
Ever since his death and up till this time of writing, no next-of-kin or
relation of his has come forward to claim his money with
us. Fervent valuable efforts have been made by Citi trust bank to get in
touch with any of the Alan`s family or relatives but proved to no avail.
Naturally, as long as Alan`s money remains unclaimed, the bank remains richer
in free funds with his money. However, with my position, I can
present you to claim the fund as a relative/next of kin if you agree with
me on private basis. Yes, I can present you as i am the account manager
of the dead man.
The request for you as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the
fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand as nextof
kin to a foreigner,Hence, I plead for your assistance with the intention
of getting this unclaimed money amounting to US$14,700,000.00
(fourteen point seven million Dollars) transferred into a company/private
bank account that
you will present. You stand to gain a negotiable percentage of the fund
if you agree to help me actualize this opportunity, I will not contact anyother
person until I am convinced that you are not interested in this proposal.
Contact me immediately indicating your willingness and also give your direct
and confidential fax and phone numbers for the effective communication that
this transaction requires. I will furnish you with the procedure and also
enlighten you on how the funds will be disbursed and shared on receipt of
your response. I will also require your advice
in the areas of investment as I plan to establish a business venture in
your country with my share. Please reach me only on this private email.
address: da_musa@mmail.com
Remember that a business of this nature needs to be kept
confidential.
Yours Sincerely
DAN MUSA.
