Subject: ESTATE OF ENGR. A. WITTE
Dear Friend ,
I am a staff of (AFRICAN EXPRESS BANKING CORPORATION)My name is Mark Abraham,a Banker. I am the personal Account Manager to Engr.A. witte who was formerly working with SHELL OIL DRILLING AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY (INCORPORATED) in Nigeria hereinafter, referred to
as my clientele. On 30th JAN 2000, my clientele,his wife, and their three children were involved in the Kenyan Airways(registration number 5Y-BEN) air crash which departed from Nairobi to destination Lagos and all the family died in this fatal air mishap on 30th JAN 2000.
Since then I have made several inquiries to locate any of my clientele's extended relatives, this proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts. I have contacted you to
assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my clientele before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank (AFRICAN EXPRESS BANKING CORPORATION)) where these huge deposits were lodged,where the deceased had an account valued at about (16 Million U.S Dollars).Recently, my Bank (AFRICAN EXPRESS BANKING CORPORATION)) issued me a notice to provide my clientele's next of kin or have the account confiscated within the shortest time frame.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same last name with him so that the proceeds of this account valued at (16 Million U.S Dollars) can be paid into your account.As a matter of business, the sharing formular runs thus : 60% to me and 40% to you. An attorney will be contracted to help us to obtain all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up your claims. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through.I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement thatwill protect us from any breach of
the law
Please indicate your willingness to proceed in this project and send me your private telephone/fax numbers to facilitate asier communication.contact me through my alternative email address
