Subject: CAN YOU HELP? IT IS URGENT:
GOODDAY,
I am an Accountant with Intercontinental Bank Plc,My name is Mr.Kennedy Okafor. I am the personal Accountant Manager to Engineer Michael, a citizen of your country, who used to work with Chevron Development oil company in Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my client,On the 21st of April 2000, my Client his wife and their three children were involved in a drastic car accident Along Sagamu/Lagos Express Road.Unfortunately him and his three kids 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 police 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 that he deposited with our bank. 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 to the banking decree 003 subsection 45 which stated that any deposited fund which remains unclaimed after the existing period of four 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 intercontinental bank with the personal attorney to late Michael on 29th of April 2004,they have all agreed to extend the date to 28th August, 2005.
Consequently have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they Get confiscated or declare unserviceable by intercontinental bank Plc Where the deceased had an account Valued at about ($15,345 million us dollars). The bank has issued out a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next four month. 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 ($15,345 million us dollars)can be paid to you and then you and I Can share the money. All the necessary documents concerning this claim are with the Bank legal department. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through.I guarantee that this will be executed under a legal arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law Please get in touch with me by my email if you are willing to do this
Kennedy Okafor
