Dear Sir
Firstly, I will like to introduce myself as MR. Ben Mathew, Manager, Bills
and Exchange, Foreign Remittance Department at the CITIZEN BANK NIGERIA PLC
. I write to request for your cooperation on a private business deal, which
will be of immense mutual benefit to both parties. Hence, find here-under my
proposal:
Every four years Nigerian Banks transfer to its treasury, millions of
dollars of unclaimed Deceased Depositors Fund in compliance with the Banking
Laws and Guidelines to the majority of cases, with reference to my bank -
CITIZEN BANK NIGERIA PLC. The money normally runs into several millions of
dollars. Until Engr. Sarih Fawaz from Saudi Arabia died, along with his
wife, Kafilat and their two son’s, Ibrahim and Tijani in a private jet plane
crash. I was his foreign currency denoted bank Account Manager with constant
balance in excess of eight digits. Ever since his death and up till this
time of writing no next of kin or relation of his has come forward to claim
his money with us.
Naturally, as long as late Engr. Sarih Fawaz's money remain unclaimed, the
bank remains richer in free funds with his money. However, with me being in
direct charge of Bills and Exchange in the Foreign Remittance Department of
my bank. I am in a position to cause the payment of this money to whosoever
that presents himself as a next of kin or relation of late Engr. Sarih Fawaz
on a private business deal basis.
Now the game plan and the purpose of my writing you exclusively having been
highly recommended as the right and proper person to handle this deal by a
Management Consultant friend of mine, who has travelled widely, including
your country is that I want to pull out this unclaimed money amounting to
the tune of US$15,500,000.00 (Fifteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand US
Dollars) with your cooperation and assistance by just doing the following:
(a) Act as next of kin or relation of late Engr. Sarih Fawaz
(b) Provide your bank account and location where you want the money
remitted.
(c) Provide your direct and private telephone/fax number for effective
communication
(d) Give immediate reply to this mail for more details on how to proceed.
Upon receipt of your response, I will send to you by e-mail the Statement
Letter of Claim, which you will forward to the Bank. For your co-operation
and efforts 40% of the money will be for you as our foreign partner, while
50% will be for my colleagues and myself that will eventually visit your
country for disbursement of our portion. The remaining 10% will be for
expenses. Therefore, send me your reply immediately you receive this message
for more directives. Please send your response to me on this e-mail address:
benmat006@msn.com
Looking forward to a mutual beneficial business relationship.
Best regards,
MR. Ben Mathew
Manager, Bills/Exchange
Foreign Remittance Department,
CITIZEN BANK NIGERIA PLC.
