Subject: GOOD PROPOSAL FOR YOU
Dear Good Frind
It is with trust and confidence that I make this urgent and important
proposal to you in view of the fact that I supposed you are trust worthy and
reliable.Currently I have a business that I think would be of interest to
you and
your company.I am the Manager, Western District Union Bank of Nig.Plc. I got
your contact through an international forum attended by a friend of mine and
went futher to confirm it via
your country's business report.However, there is an account opened in the
bank in 2000 and since 2003, no
body has operated this account again. After careful investigation, I
discovered that the owner of this account was the President of GUNN FINANCE
PTY LTD, a Foreigner named Mr.John W.Clouson who died in 1999. The account
has no beneficiary at present and investigations proved that this company
does not know anything about the account. The total amount is US$2.5m (two
Million Five Hundred United States Dollars only).In light of the above fact,
I need your assistance in this rare opportunity
by providing your Bank account or any account of your choice where this fund
will be remitted. Your assistance as a Foreigner is necessary because the
management is ready to welcome anybody, preferably a
Foreigner who has the correct information of the account which I will give
you immediately
you express your interest and capability to conclude this transaction with
me.Now that the management of the bank has ordered that all dormant accounts
be frozen, On the strength of this order, I wish to take advantage of this
situation and
present your company as the next of kin and get it transferred to your
designated
account.Be informed that all documents related to this transaction will be
destroyed immediately
after the transfer, since every arrangement to transfer this fund to any
account you will
provide has been concluded.Furthermore, on receiving your positive response,
I will apply for annual
leave for our face to face meeting in your country for the sharing. I will
give you 30% of
the total fund for your assistance though the percentage is negotiable and I
will not
contact any other person until I am convinced that you are not
interested.Please reach me through my direct e-mail
(micheal_abba009@myway.com) address
for confidenciality indicating your interest. This information is authentic
and genuine and the transaction will only last for 8 bank-working days, so
do comply urgently
Best Regards,
Mr micheal abba
