legal practictioners here in Nigeria. We have an urgent and
confidential business proposal for you. However we got your contact
through
the International web directory.
On March 11th, 1999, a Foreign oil merchant/Contractor with the FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIAN ,our client LATE ENGINEER JEFFREY LANDERCASPER,
made a numbered time(Fixed) Deposit for twelve (12) calendar months,valued
at
US$US$25.5M (Twenty-Five Million Five hundred Dollars)in my branch. Upon
maturity,
the bank have sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got
no reply.
The unfortunate issue here is that our client LATE ENGINEER JEFFREY
LANDERCASPER did not declare any KIN OR RELATIONS IN ALL HIS OFFICIAL
DOCUMENTS,
INCLUDING HIS BANK DEPOSIT PAPER WORK IN THE BANK.
This sum of US$25.5M is still sitting in this Bank and the interest
is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. NO
PERSON WILL EVER COME FOWARD TO CLAIM IT.
According to NIGERIAN LAW, at the expiration of 6(six) YEARS, the money
will revert to the ownership of the NIGERIAN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IF NOBODY
APPLIES TO CLAIM THE FUND.One of the deposits he made that is of great
interest/concern to me is that he made with a finance coy in London, United
Kingdom.This is of interest to me because we have the full documents for
the deposit amounting to $12.000.000.00 but concealed in a box and declared
family valuables.
It will interest you to know that I have notified the finance coy of his
death as his attorney and they( Finance Coy) have asked
told me what to do,hence my primary aim of reaching through this mail.
Consequently, my proposal is that I WANT YOU TO STAND IN AS THE NEXT OF

it.
