Subject: the position
Attention: Sir,
I am Mr.Naza Jika Esq, the manager of a prime bank in
Africa.I do not know you and you do not know me but for
reasons which will become obvious to you as read on, I
obtained Your email address from an Internet address
listing hoping and Believing God that you will be trustworthy,
reliable and willing to assist Me.Please Sir, exercise some
patience while you read through my message.
I have a very urgent and confidential business proposition
for you.On June 6th 1999, an Engineer/Consultant/Contractor
with a big and Influential Multi national Oil Company and a
foreigner here made a time deposit in a bank Which I am
presently the Manager.He did not declare any next of kin
in his application paper. The money is very big and no one
knows the source of this money because apparently the time
frame of his employment with the company here in Africa does
indeed preclude such a large amount of money.It can be
assumed that he brought his money over from his country or
previous place of work but that is open to speculation.
However,the point is that he is dead and his employers are
not aware Of this money,and therefore it can be safely
assumed that no one will ever come forward to claim this
money, he died in 2002. The total sum (inclusive of accrued
interests) is still sitting in my Bank in the Dormant
Account Portfolio. No one will ever come forward to claim
it now or in the future and according to our banking laws,
after 5 years,the money will automatically revert to the
Federal Government Treasury if the Account owner is a
foreigner and is certified dead but with you a foreigner
applying for the transfer of this fund to your nominated
account anywhere in the world and all documents backing the
transfer legally secured and there is certification that
the funds being transferred are from non-criminal sources
we will have no problems.In short this will be a proper
and legal money transfer and there will be no related
risk!
We will have to process the initial paperwork to obtain
approval from the Probate Registry (Ministry of Justice)
and obtain the Letter of Administration empowering you as
Sole trustee/executor to the deceased Estate after which
I will use my position and influence in the bank to
effect onward transfer of this money from our bank to
your nominated account. If you therefore agree to be the
official Beneficiary, then please note that you will
be required to avail me with a bank account (a bank
account with zero Credit Balance is ok).Your full address,
phone and fax,full name and brief background information
on you (CV).
As soon as I receive a positive response on your
willingness to assist me then I will initiate the
processing of the transfer and in about 7 working days
the money will be in your nominated bank account for us
To share in the ratio of 30% for me and 70% for you.
This transaction is guaranteed to success without any
problems. If you agree to assist me by sending me the
above requestedInformation, I will give you my complete
address, including phone/ fax etc and any further
clarifications you may require.
Looking forward to your urgent reply.
Regards,
Naza Jika. Esq.
