email address:mikeigbo9@hotmail.comSir,Compliment of the day and how
is life general withyou? Of course it is my humble wish to solicit
andcrave your indulgence to make this project request fora joint
business transaction which I hope will notcome to you as a surprise,
hence I plead for yourpardon.I am mike igbo, the manager of
headquarter firstbank of Nig. Plc. Lagos. I have an urgent
andconfidential business proposal for you.On April 30 2000, an
Australian oilconsultant/contractor with via National
Petroleumcooperation (NNPC) Mr. Peter Bush made a numbered
time(fixed) deposit for twelve calenderer month valued
atUS$10,600.00(ten Million Six Hundred Thousand USDollars) in my
branch.On maturity, I sent a routine notification to hisforwarded
address but got no reply after months wesend a reminder and finally we
discovered from hiscontract employee (Nigeria national
petroleumCorporation) that Mr. Peter Bush died from anautomobile
accident. On further investigation, it wasclear that he died without
making a will. Allattempts by the Australian to trace his next of
kinwere fruitless.I therefore made further investigation and
discoveredthat Mr. Peter Bush did not declare any next of kin
orrelations in all his official documents including hisdeposit
document in my bank. The total sumUS$10,600,000.00 is still in my bank
as dormant acct.No one will ever come forward to claim it.
Accordingto Nigerian banking law, after five years, the moneywill
revert to the ownership of the NigerianGovernment. If the account
owner is certified deathand nobody comes forward to claim it.This is
the situation, and my proposal is that I amlooking for a foreigner who
will stand in as thebeneficiary/next of kin. This is simple. All you
haveto do is to immediately send me the details of a bankaccount
anywhere in the world for me to arrange theproper money transfer
document. The money will then betransferred into the account for us to
share in theration of 60% for me 30% for you while the remaining10%
will be set aside for expenses incurred with hereand there.There is
no risk involved. I am using my position andconnection in the bank
here to do all the documentwork for the transaction. We shall employ
the servicesof an attorney to draft the will and obtain allnecessary
documents and letter of administration inyour favour for the transfer.
This transaction is riskfree guaranteed. If you are interested, please
replyimmediately confidentiality and be rest assured thatthis
transaction could be most profitable for both ofus. Please do not
expose this deal if you are notinterested because if you do, it will
take me out ofseat.I am awaiting your urgent reply.Best
