Dear Sir
RE: REQUEST FOR URGENT JOINT PARTNERSHIP.
How are you today, I know that this mail may come to you as a surprise regarding to this business am
about introducing to you. Please if you would not want to partake in this deal, my plead is to keep this to
yourself. Firstly, I must to introduce my self properly to you, I am DR. DORAH JONES, Director AGM
FINANCE, UNITED BANK FOR AFRICA (UBA)NIGERIA PLC, MARINA BRANCH.
RE: PREPOSITION:
I work in the credit accounts department of United Bank for Africa, Nigeria Plc, Lagos-Nigeria. I write you
in respect of our foreign customer with Domicilliary A/C number 6402356789. His name is Engineer
Manfred Berger He was among those who died in a plane crash here in Nigeria during the reign of late
General Sani Abacha.
Sir, since the death of Engineer Manfred Berger , who was an oil merchant/contractor, I have kept a close
watch of the deposit records and accounts no body has come to claim the money in this Account as next
of kin to the late Engineer Manfred Berger.
He had close diposit of $18.5mllion in his account with code. It is only me as his account manager 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 as his account
manager.
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 so doing, what is required of
you is to send an aplication laying claims of the deposit as next of kin to the late Engineer. I will need
your full name and address telephone/fax number,company or residential, also your bank name and
account,where the money will transfer into. So that I can computerize them totally 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 occassioned 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,
DR.DORAH JONES,
Director AGM FINANCE,
UNITED BANK FOR AFRICA (UBA) PLC
