Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?URGENT=20TRANSFER?=
Dear Sir,
I am PRINCE AYOMIDE GRIFFIN, the Director in charge of Auditing
and Accounting section of Union Bank of Nigeria Plc. Lagos Nigeria in West
Africa and also Chairman of Investigating and Auditing Department of this
Bank. With due respect and regard I have decided to contact you on a Business
Transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us and our families.
During our Investigation and Auditing in this Bank, my department came across
a very huge sum of money belonging to one Mr. Hietacker Kang a foreigner,
who died on November 1st 2001 in a motor accident and the fund has been
dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our
custody either from his family or relation because he did not indicate any
next of kin to this account incase of death such as this.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and partners
to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the
time of execution. The said amount was U.S $12,500.000(Twelve million five
hundred thousand United States dollars). As it may interest you to know,
I got your impressive information through one of my good friends who work
with Chamber of Commerce on foreign business relations here in Lagos - Nigeria.
It is him who recommended your person to me to be viable and capable to
champion a business of such magnitude without any problem.
Meanwhile as a Senior Staff in this bank, and the Director of Auditing and
Accounting, I have in my possession all the necessary documents to perfect
this deal by making you the bonafide next of kin whom this money will be
transferred into his account. I need your assistance and co-operation to
get this deal done. Because as a foreigner, you stand a better position
to be presented through documentation as the next of kin since the deceased
is also a foreigner, which the 1989 decree (14) subsection (2) of Central
bank of Nigeria states that if an account remains dormant for more than
four years the account should be closed and reverted to the account of the
federal government of Nigeria. This is the reason why I could not do this
deal alone as a Nigerian and a Blackman as well.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On
smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the
total sum as gratification, while 5% will be set aside to take care of expenses
that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while
65% will be for me and my partners. Please, you have been advised to keep
"Top Secret" as we are still in service and intend to retire from service
after we conclude this deal with you. And I assure you that this transaction
will not last more than 10 working days you confirm the money in your account.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm
the money in your account. And ask us to come down to your country for subsequent
sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further
investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest
in. All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear
from you.
I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this
deal. contact me on this email for more detailed information.
I am expecting your reply as soon as you receive this message.
Yours faithfully,
PRINCE AYOMIDE GRIFFIN
