Dear Sir,
My name is Mr. Ogom Fidelis, i work in the credit and accounts department
of African banking inco-operation,Lagos, Nigeria.
I write you in respect of a foreign customer with Domicilliary A/C number
6402356789. His name is Engineer Joseph Sternberg. He was among those who
died in a plane crash here in Nigeria during the reign of late General Sani
Abacha.
Sir,since the demise of this our customer, Engineer Joseph Sternberg, who
was an oil merchant/contractor, I have kept a close watch of the deposit
records and accounts and since then no body has come to claim the money
in this a/c as next of kin to the late Engineer.
He had only $18.5mllion in his a/c and the a/c is coded. It is only an insider
that could produce the code or password of the deposit particulars.
As it stands now, there is nobody in that position to produce the needed
information other than my very self considering my position in the bank.
Based on the reason that nobody has come forward to claim the deposit as
next of kin, I hereby ask for your co- operation in using your name as the
next of kin to the deceased to send these funds out to a foreign offshore
bank a/c for mutual sharing between myself and you. At this point I am the
only one with the information because I have removed the deposit file from
the safe.
By this doing, what is required of you is to send an application laying
claims of the deposit as next of kin to the late Engineer. I will need your
full name and address, company or residential, so that i can computerize
them to tally with next of kin column in the certificate of deposit.
Finally i want you to understand that the request for a foreigner as the
next of kin is ocassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner
and for that reason alone a local cannot represent as next of kin. When
you contact me, then we shall discuss on how the money will be split between
us.
Trusting to hear from you. I remain
Respectfully yours,
Mr. Ogom Fidelis
