SIR.
Greetings,I am JAMES SCOTT,a Manager at The UNION Bank Of Africa Head
Office here in NIGERIA.However I get your contact through the
International web directory.
Recently we discovered a Dormant Account with a huge amount of Money
Valued USD 36,000,000.00 (Thirty six Million Dollars only)that belongs to
one of our lateCustomer who died On the 6th of July 2005, my client, his
wife and their only Child died in the train bomb blast along piccadilly line
train North London (Uk) During the terrorist Attack.
.
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to ARTHUR EDLIN FREDRICK who died
with his along with his wife and his only child and the fund has been
dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our
custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this
development.
The Banking law here stipulates that if such money remains unclaimed
for Six years, it will be forfeited to the Bank Treasury as an
unclaimed bill.
It is only a foreigner that can stand as a next of kin and It is upon this
discovery that I decided to contact you to collaborate with you to pull out
this dormant fund.In order to avert this negative development, I on behalf
of my trusted colleagues now seek your permission to have you stand in as
next of kin to Our late Customer so that the fund will be released and paid
into your account as the beneficiary?s next of kin now that
the bank is still expecting a next of kin or relative of the deceased,
ARTHUR EDLIN FREDRICK
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_7_July_2005_London_bombings
(please find out from the web site About the crash).
Infact we could have done this deal alone but because of our position in
this country as civil servants, we are not allowed to operate a foreign
account and that would eventually raise an eye brow on our side during the
time of transfer since we still work in this bank, this is the actual reason
why we required a second party or fellow who will assist us forward claims
as the next of kin and also provide either an existing bank account or to
set up a new Bank a/c immediately to receive this fund, even an empty a/c
can also serve for this purpose.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction,you will be entitled to 25% as
gratification for your assisting us, while 5%will be set aside to take care
of expenses on our both sides that may arise during the time of transfer and
also for telephone bills, and the remaining 70% will be for me and my
partners.
What I want from you is for you to act as the deceased next of kin. I have
in my possession, all the necessary Documents to successfully accomplish the
operation. Bear in mind that this proposal is 100% risk free.Further
Information will be given to you as soon as I receive your positive
response.I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish.
Best Regards.
JAMES SCOTT.
