On Saturday, 4 May, 2002, in plane crash. Let me refer you to the front page of (BBC) World News of Saturday, 4 May 2002,). You can check it through their websiteat,) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1968300.stm and http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1968616.stm Unfortunately for him and his three kids,they lost their lives immediately in the event of the accident, while the wife was taken to the hospital where she died three days later. Their bodies were kept in the mortuary for five months in order to carry out proper investigation by the Authority on how to locate their surviving relatives.They have all checked all available public files and embassies,but all their efforts had proved abortive.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, no one has been coming for his account which he deposited with our bank.(REALON BANK PLC) And due to the banking law and regulation of 1985 sub section 18d page 103 chapter 11 of the constitution governing all banking policy in Nigeria, and in accordance with the banking decree 003 subsection 45 which stated that any deposited fund which remain's unclaim after the existing period of two years will be confiscated by the national treasury department as unclaimed fund. And this has brought too much agitation in our bank between boards of directors on how to declare this account unserviceable due to the fact that the deceased has no next of kin.
After the meeting held by the Executives of the Bank with me the personal attorney to late the Engineer,they have all mandated me to contact the next of kin to my late client.Conseqently,I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they Get confiscated or declare unserviceable by the Bank where the deceased had an account Valued at about ($15 million US dollars).
The bank has Issued out a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated. Since no one has been able to locate their relatives for over 3 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that this account valued at ($15Million U S Dollars) can be paid to you and then you and I Can share the money.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through.I guarantee that this will be executed under a legal arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
