Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my client, On April 21, 2002
my client, was involved in a car accident along Sagamu express way. All
occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have
made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my client's extended
Relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last name
over to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.I have
contacted
you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my
client
before they Get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where
this huge deposits were lodged, particularly the (ROYAL TRUST BANK PIC)
Where the deceased had an account Valued at about ($15million u s dollars)
has Issued me a notice to provide the next of kin. Or have the account
confiscated
within the next ten official working day,
The Nigeria Banking Law on unclaimed benefits stipulates under section 7
subsections 10 cap.15 that once such unclaimed benefits have over- stayed a
maximum period of three (4) years,the account will become dormant and the
money will be confisicated. And uptill now no body has come to claim the
money for the last two years and our bank has been notifying the Rotary club
for the past one year.In order to avert this negative development, I now
seek your permission to
have you stand as a "NEXT-OF-KIN" to the Late Beneficiary so that the funds
US$15M will be released and paid into your bank account as the beneficiary
"NEXT- OF-KIN" for our mutual benefits.
I am assuring you that this transaction will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Dear friend,
because of my position as indigene
its impossible for me to claim directly,which is why your involvement was
solicited. This transaction is alifetime opportunity,which we cannot afford
to lose. However, it wasn deliberately designed to benefit me and you.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years
now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
so that this account valued at ($ 15 million u s dollars) can be paid to
you .
The sharing modality is still open and negociatable.All I require is
your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.I guarantee that
this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you.
from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me by my
email:accountantgoodwill@latinmail.com you are adviced to send me your full
name,telephone/fax number,mailing address,age and occupation based on trust
and honesty and as soon as i get that i shall send to you a TEXT OF
APPLICATION which you will send to the bank
