Subject: I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE
DR.OJO WILLIAMS.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT,
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
BANK OF THE NORTH OF AFRICA,
NIGERIA WEST AFRICA.
My Dear,
I am Dr.Ojo williams, the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of bank of the north in west Africa with due respect and regard.
I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very
beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.During our
investigation and auditing in this bank,my department came across a very
huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died with his entire
family of his wife,and since his untimely death the funds has been dormant
in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody
either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.
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 USD$24.1M(twenty four million one hundred thousand us
dollars only).
As it may interest you to know,I got your contact from my private search for
a reliable and trusted foreign partner who works with chamber of commerce on
foreign business relations.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the
bonafide next of kin to the deceased,get the required approval and transfer
this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and
needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your
interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit yourself to this
great business opportunity.
In fact i could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this
country as a civil servant,we are not allowed to operate a foreign account
and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of
transfer because i work in this bank.This is the actual reason why it will
require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin
to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money
to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification
and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole
money will be remitted from to your own designated bank account.
May i at this point emphasize that this transaction is 100% risk free as i
have made arrangements for a successful arrangement as an insider of the
bank before contacting you.On smooth conclusion of this transaction,you will
be entitled to 30% of the total sum agratification,while 10% will be set
aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer
and also telephone bills,my travel ticket to come over to your country for
the sharing of the fund while 60% will be for me and my partners.
Please,you have been adviced to keep this a top secret as we are still in
service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with
you.
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 information will be sent to you on your acceptance to
champion this transaction with me.
I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible with you stating your wish
in this deal with your
1. TELEPHONE NUMBERS/CONTACT INFORMATIONS AND
2.THE BANKING INFORMATIONS WHERE THIS FUND WILL BE TRANSFERED FOR US via my
private mail address for security reasons (drojowilliams@myway.com) thank
you and God bless you as you do so.
Yours Faithfully,
Dr.OJO WILLIAMS.
