Subject: CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS
Dear Sir/Ma,
My name is Mr ADEKUNLE WILLIAMS.I work in the credit and accounts
department of Union Bank of NigeriaPlc,Lagos, Nigeria. I write you in
respect of a foreign customer with a Domicilliary A/C . His name is Engineer
Manfred Becker. He was among those who died in a plane crash here in Nigeria
during the reign of late General Sani Abacha.
Sir,since the demise of this our customer, Engineer Manfred Becker was an
oil merchant/contractor, I have kept a close watch of the deposit records
and accounts and since then no body has come to claim the money in this a/c
as next of kin to the late Engineer. He had only $18.5mllion in his a/c and
the a/c is coded. It is only an insider that could produce the code or
password of the deposit particulars. As it stands now, there is nobody in
that position to produce the needed information other than myself
considering my position in the bank.
Based on the reason that nobody has come forward to claim the deposit as
next of kin, I hereby ask for your co operation in using your name as the
next of kin to the deceased to send these funds out to a foreign offshore
bank a/c for mutual sharing between myself and you. At this point I am the
only one with the information because I have removed the deposit file from
the safe . By so doing, what is required of you is to send an aplication
laying claims of the deposit as next of kin to the late Engineer. I will
need your full name and address telephone/fax number,company and
residential address, also your bank name and account,where the money will
transfer into. So that i can make a change of beneficiary to your name as
the next of kin.
Finally i want you to understand that the request for a foreigner as the
next of kin is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and
for that reason alone a local cannot represent as next of kin. I am current
in the Netherlands for a six months course.I want to use this medium to seek
for your assistance.You shall be entiled to 30% of the total sum.I want you
to contact me so that we can discuss more on the business.Presently,you can
reach me on this number
0031 623866723. Kindly give me a call or send me an email to
williamsadekune107@zwallet.com.
Trusting to hear from you,
Regards,
Mr ADEKUNLE WILLIAMS.
