Dear Sir,
I am Emmanuel Dumebi, the Foreign Exchange manager of a commercial Bank in Lagos, Nigeria. It is with utmost respect and regards that I seek your cooperation towards this transaction that demands honesty and confidentiality.
In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of US$15m (Fifteen Million United States Dollars Only) in an account that belong to one of our foreign customers Mr. Arthur Smith, who died along with his wife in the illfated plane crash of 31 October 1999 [with Egyptian Airline 990] with other passengers aboard.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin 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.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this proposal to you so as to release the money to you as next of kin/beneficiary to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The banking Law and Guidelines here stipulates that if such money remains unclaimed after five years, the money will be forfeited into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund.
I agree that 35% of this money will be for you for your assistance, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 5% for incidental expenses and 60% would be for me, after which I shall visit your country for disbursement according to the agreed percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediately transfer of this fund into your account, you must apply first to the bank and send your details as follows;
1. Your full Names and address
2. The name of your bank and address where you want the fund to be transfered into
3. Your account number.
4. Your account name (Beneficiary Name)
5. Your private Telephone and fax numbers
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100% risk-free, and it would take Ten(10) working days for the fund to be credited into your account as all required arrangements will be made for the smooth transfer of this fund into your account.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Best regards.
EMMANUEL DUMEBI
