Subject: I am Mr Mark Van of Central Bank of Nigerian
Dear friend,
I am Mr Mark Van of Central Bank of Nigerian .Iam the personal
accounts manager to Mr. Jim Wei ,a national of your country,who used to
work with Philips Oil Explorations company here in Nigeria.
On May 4, 2002 my Client, his wife and their two children were involved in
a fatal air disaster. My Client and his family together with other persons
had boarded the ill-fated Executive Airlines Services (EAS Airlines) which
took off from Aminu Kano International Airport and crash at Gwamaja estate
on the outskirts of Kano City, Nigeria killing all passengers on board.
For more details and pictures of the plain crash click:;http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1968616.stm
Since then, I have made conscientious inquiries to locate any of my client's
relations and this has proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful
attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any
member of his family , hence I contacted you since you have similar surname.
Mr. Jim Wei died intestate leaving valuable properties as well as some
money in Premier bank here. I have therefore, contacted you to cooperate
with me to claim the money To Be precise, my deceased client had $3.0m(Three
million United States Dollars) in the bank account.
I have all necessary information and documents to this deposit. All we need
to do is to move this money from his account to a bank account to be nominated
by you.
To accomplish this purpose , you will act as my client's next of kin.
With all the information at my disposal, I will do all the
documentations. Upon the completion of this transaction which will last only
a few days , you will be entitled to 40%($1,200,000.00) while I will take
the balance.
Reply me through my email address at( mark_van1@latinmail.com) for more details.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated co-operation.
Best regards,
Mr MARK VAN
Accounts Manager
Central Bank of Nigerian
