charge of auditing and accounting section of (1st
First Bank, Lagos, Nigeria West Africa. With due
respect and regards, am contacting you on a business
transaction that will be beneficial to both of us at
the end. During our investigation and auditing in our

perfected. Once you are interested i will give you
guide lines on how to proceed with the claim in our
bank .So that the fund will be approved by the bank to
be wired into your nominated account abroad through
our correspondence bank overseas.
If you are interested, I will give you all the
deceased information for you to apply for the claim
here in our bank after which it will be forwarded to
our affiliate Bank overseas. We would have executed
this deal alone but because we are still working with

monitoring the whole situation here in our bank until
you confirm the money in your account. And ask us to
