Hello my friend,
I wish you a warm and happy day!
My name is Vincent Micado (Mr), I am a staff and account Director in
charge of bills and exchange in the Foreign Remittance Department of
Central Bank of Nigeria.
I am writing following an oppurtunity
in my office that will be of immense benefit to both of us.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of Eight Million, Five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (US$8.5Million) in an account
that belongs to one of our foreign customers Late Mr. Morris Thompson
an American who unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska
Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31 2000, including his wife
and only daughter.
You shall read more about the crash on visiting this site.
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ and
http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his
next of kin or relatves to come over and claim his money because we
cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation
to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Unfortunately I
learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only daughter died along
with
him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of this fund
behind for
the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and two other officials in
this department now decided to make business with you and release the money
to you as the next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for safety keeping
and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want
this money to go back into Government treasury as unclaimed bill. The
banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such money remained
after 6 (Six
years the money will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed
funds.
We agreed that 35% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, while
the balance will be for me and my colleagues. I will visit your country
for the disbursement according to the percentages indicated above once this
money gets into your account. Please be honest to me and trust is our
watchword in this transaction. Note that this transaction is confidential
and risk free.
Please note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release of these
funds to you has been finalised. Upon your response, I shall provide you
with more details and how we shall proceed with the claims. Please in your
response include your telephone number for easy communication between
us.
PLEASE REPLY TO MY PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS: hallink_way@yahoo.com
Yours Sincerely,
Vincent Micado [MR].
