FROM THE DESK OF: MR mohammed
GOOD DAY,
This Letter might come as a surprise to you, especially
since we have
never met or discussed before. Basically, the message might
sound
strange, but it is in fact, very real. If only you care to
know. The truth is that I should have
notified you first through a more confidential means even
if it is at
least to respect your integrity,
please accept my humble apologies if I had caught you
unawares. I
frankly do not mean any harm in passing my
goodwill message.
I am mohammed suleiman K.S.M, Bank Manager, Long Term Fixed
Deposit
Dept, of Safe Trust Ban k ,Lagos, Nigeria. I have urgent
and very
confidential business proposition for you.
On June 6, 1999, An American mining consultant/contractor
with the
National Mining Corporation, ANN BARBARA MYERS made a
numbered time (fixed)Deposit for twelve (12) calendar
months, valued at
US$25,000,000.00(TWENTY-FIVE MILLION US DOLLARS)in my
branch. Upon
maturity, I sent a
routine notification to her forwarding address but got no
reply. After a
month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from
her contract
employers, the National mining corporation that ANN BARBARA
MYERS died from
an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found
out that she
died without making a (WILL) and all attempts to trace her
next of kin
was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that
ANN BARBARA
MYERS did not declare
any kin or relation in her official documents, including
her Bank
deposit paper work in my Bank. This
sum US$25,000.000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the
interest is
being rolled over with the principal
sum at the end of each year. According to our National Law,
at the
expiration of 5 (five) years, the
money will revert to the ownership of the government if
nobody applies
to claim the funds.
Consequently, my proposal is that I would like you to stand
in as the
next of kin to ANN BARBARA MYERS so
that the fruits of this old woman labour will not get into
the hands of
some corrupt government officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your
full name,
address brief profile of you including
your tel and fax numbers so that an Attorney will prepare
the necessary
documents and affidavits which
will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ
the service
of an accredited Attorney for the
drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the
necessary
document s and the of
probate/administration in your favour for the transfer. A
bank account
in any part of the world which you will provide will then
facilitate
the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next
of kin. The
money will be paid into your account for us to share in the
ration of 60% for me and 40% for you.
There is no risk at all as the paper work for this
transaction will be
done by the Attorney and my position as the branch manager
guarantees
the successful execution of this transaction. If you are
interested,
please reply immediately via email address above. Upon your
response, I
shall then provide with more details and relevant documents
that will
help you to understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured
that this
transaction would be most profitable
for both of us because I shall require your assistance to
invest my
share in your country.
Awaitin g your urgent reply .
Best regards,
m.suleiman
