Subject: BUSINESS PORPOSAL
Sir/Madam,
I am Dr. Oladele O. Oyelola , Chief internal auditor of First bank here in
Nigeria. I have the courage to crave your indulgence for this
important business believing that you will never let me down either
now or in the future.
On June 6,2002, there was an British Mining
consultant/contractor with the Nigerian Mining Corporation, Mr.
Jeffrey A. Green, who made a numbered time (fixed)deposit with my bank
here for twelve calendar months,value 5.4M POUNDS in an account. On
maturity, the
bank sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no
reply from him.
After a month, the bank sent another reminder and finally his contract
employers,the Nigerian Mining Corporation wrote to inform the bank
that Mr.Jeffrey A.Green died from an automobile accident, and he died
without MAKING A WILL attached to the account, and all attempts by the
Bank to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
In July 1999, A committee was set up by First Bank to trace the
background of Mr. Green and in the course of our enquiries we
discovered that Mr.Jeffrey A.Green was in fact an immigrant from
Jamaica and only recently obtained British citizenship. He did
not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official
documents, including his Bank deposit paper work. The total money, 5.4
Million POUNDS, is still sitting in the bank and the account is now
dormant.
No one will ever come forward to claim it and according to Nigerian
banking policy, after 5years, the money will revert to the ownership
of the Federal Government if the account owner is certified dead and
there is no beneficiary to come forward to claim it. This is the
situation, and having spent three years planning I am now looking for
a foreigner who will stand in as the next of kin to Mr.Jeffrey A.Green
and open a Bank Account abroad to facilitate the transfer of this
money as the beneficiary/next of kin. I am in touch with Mr. Green's
lawyer and he is ready to verify whoever I present as the rightful
beneficiary.
This is simple, all you have to do is to OPEN an account anywhere in
the world and send me its detail or send an existing account (The
account need not have any money in it) detail for me to arrange the
proper money transfer paperwork and facilitate the transfer.The money
will then be paid into this Account for us to share in the ratio of
60% for me, 30% for you and 10% for expenses that might come up
during transfer process. I plan to invest most of my share in your
organisation or any other place in Europe you advise. There is no risk
at all, and all the paper work for this transaction will be done by me
using my position and connections in the banks in Nigeria.
This business transaction is guaranteed and the first phase of the
transfer will be 2.4M POUNDS as advised by our
insider in the bank. If you are interested, please reply immediately
through my personal email sending the following details:
(1) Your Full Name/Address
(2) Your Private Telephone/fax Number.
(3) Your Full Account Details. (Again, this account need not have any
money in it)
Please observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall
require your assistance to invest most of my share in your country.
I will give to you my Private Telephone and Fax Number upon your
positive response for discussion and once I am convinced that you are
capable will send you an access code with which you will be able to
verify the money from the bank's website and will also introduce you
to a key bank official who is deeply involved with me in this
business. I really need your strong assurance that you will never let
me down now or in future. This is a great chance for investment in
your company.
I look forward to your earliest reply to Dr. oladele2005@seram.org
