YOUR ATTENTION PLS.
My name is Mr Musa Adamu, ACOUNTANT OFFICER OF AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK. I am
pleased to inform you about my interest to use your Bank account for a
deposit of $13 million five hundred thousand dollars with the Bank. It
may surprise you,but just give me your attention pls.
An AMERICAN Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National petroleum
Corporation, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar
months,valued at US$1300,500.00 (Thirteen million Five houndred thousand
Dollars)with African Development Bank since the year 2000. Ever since then,a
routine notification has been sent several times to him, without reply.
In 2003, I discovered from his contract employee, the Nigerian National
petroleum Corporation that my client is dead. Unfortunately, was a victim of
the AF4590 German Concorde plane that crashed in France. Check the
site:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm.On further
investigation the entire family was in the plane, and no declaretion of
inheritance on the deposit made to the Bank, as he intend to invest in ASIA.
I have made several research since 2003 till December last year, to reach
any of his relation or family member for claim, without success and locate
any of them, and the management of the ACOUNTANT OFFICER OF AFRICA
DEVELOPMENT BANK is planning to confiscate the fund by the end of this month
quarter, since the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum for
many years.I want you to stand in as the next of Kin to the deceased since
you are from the same country with him,for us to save the fruits of the old
man's labour before it get to thehands of some corrupt selfish officials of
the government of Nigeria,whose interest is to confiscate
this fund within 14 days from tomorrow.
As soon as you consent to this request, I will immediately employ the
service of a lawyer to notarize the WILL and obtain the necessary documents
and letter of probate/administration in your favor of you for the transfer
of the fund to your Bank account.You will receive; 45% of the total sum as
compensation, base on your good intention to help me secure the fund in your
account. I would also like to use 5% of the fund to rasie a reputable
charity home or Foundation in the name of the deceased. My position here
asthe Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this
transaction.Looking forward to your urgent anticipation to this offer.
I WILL LIKE YOU TO REPLY TO MY PRIVATE EMAIL
