Dear Sir/Ma,
I am MR COLLINS JERRY, the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of Inland Bank Plc. With due respect and regard, I have urgent and
very confidential business proposal for you. We are being Mandated to
investigate all unclaimed payments in the bank and during our investigation
and auditing in this Bank and by Virtue of my position as the chairman I
discovered a unclaimed sum of money to the tune of US$15.000.000.00 (Fifteen
Million United Dollar which belong to MR. MORRIS THOMPSON a deceased
passenger ho died on January 31st 2000 with Alaska Airlines Flight 261.You
can as well confirm it by yourself through under stated Website of the
incident http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
Since his untimely death the funds has been dormant in his account. On
further investigation we found out that before his death, he died without
making a (will) and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless and
neither did he declare any next of kinin the official document in the Bank
including his Bank deposit paper in the Bank. No one has ever come forward
to claim the fund. According to our ethnic Law of nation, at the expiration
of 5 (five! ) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian
government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
Consequently, my proposal is that I would like you to Stand in as the next
of kin to MR.MORRIS THOMPSON so that the fruits of this old man labor will
not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple,
I will like you to provide immediately your full name
and address so that an Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and
affidavits which will put you in place the next of kin. We shall employ the
service of an accredited Attorney for the drafting and notarization of the
WILL and to obtain the necessary documents in your favor for the transfer. A
bank account in any part of the world which you will provide will then
facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of
kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to
share in the ration of 60% for me and 40% for you.
There is no risk at all as the paper work for this transaction will be done
by the Attorney and my position as an insider of the bank i shall make sure
to see the successful execution of this transaction. If you Are interested,
please reply immediately via telephone or by email.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you to understand the transaction. Please observe
utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that thistransaction would be most
profitable for both of us because Ishall require your assistance to invest
my share in your Country.
Best regards
MR COLLINS JERRY
