Subject: URGENT LEASE
UNION BANK OF NIG..plc,PLOT 5/8;ODEKU AVE; VICTORIA-ISLAND BRANCH, LAGOS,NIGERIA. DATE: Dear.Sir, I Mr.maxwell Z.Ngolo is the Bank Manager of the above Bank branch for the past 15years. There is this clients of ours by name "Chief Dr.KEN.O.Amanze" with the Account number 1215216914KJB since 1986 up till date nobody has ever come forward nor made withdrawals from this account.Now I have to search for the Account opening forms,it was then I found out that the Account has long remained dormant not that it was in a fixed deposit rather in a domiciliary current Account.And the total sum in this very account amounted to the sum of "USD20MILLION". I therefore through the account opening form decided to trace the clients to know exactly why the account is dormant for the past years without making further deposits or withdrawals? To my surprise I was told by the people around that "Chief Dr,Ken "died in a car crash since 1992 with his family of three on their way home to their village during one of their festive season.I even goes at lenght of enquiring if at all there is a relation of his?All to no avail. Since the past 10years I carry this enquiries,the account still remain same as there was no "next of kin"to this very client.Now having given this much thought, I then decided to make fast with the said sum;but I cannot do it alone without the help of a foreigner to assist in this DEAL. I therefore hereby request that you please assist me by claiming that you are the next of kin to Chief Dr.Ken O.Amanze.I also assure you that there is no risk involved in this DEAL and that it is risk free and 100percent genuine as there is no iota of doubt or fear.Always bear in mind that with your little assistance and cooperation that we will succede in claiming the said sum.Since I am at the helm of the Bank (branch). I have also promise that the said sum if transfered into your Account/corporate account will be shared 25% - 65%.I.E,25% will be yours while 65%comes to me and the remaing 10%goes for every expenses we might incure during the transaction.Please try to keep this DEAL secret and never to disclose it to a third party for security reasons. Thanks as I await hearing from you soon. Yours truly, Max.Z.Ngolo mbsp. alternative email ;maxwellzn@walla.com
