Subject: LETS WORK IT TOGETHER FOR OUR MUTUAL BENEFIT/PLEASE GET BACK TO ME
DEAR SIR,
I am MR MUSTAFA JEGA an account officer with ECO BANK PLC . I am writing
following an opportunity in my office that will be of immense benefit to
both of us. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $30 million
(Thirty million united states dollars ) in an account that belongs to one
of our foreign customers Late BOB WILLIAMS an American oil engineer with
SUMMIT OIL SERVICES LTD who unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash
of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31 2000, including
his wife. You shall read more about the crash on visiting this
site.http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list.Since we got
information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin or
relatives to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it
unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately I learnt that his supposed next of kin being his wife [Patty
Williams]died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the
knowledge of this fund behind for the claim.It is
therefore upon this discovery that I and two other officials in this
department now decided to make business with you and release the money to
you as the next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for safety keeping and
subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this
money to go back into Government treasury as unclaimed bill. The banking law
and guidelines here stipulates that if such money remained after five
years the money will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed
funds.
We agreed that 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, while
the balance will be for me and my colleagues. I will visit your country for
the disbursement according to the percentages indicated above once this
money gets into your account. Please be honest to me and trust is our
watchword in this transaction. Note this transaction is confidential
and risk free.As soon as you receive this mail you should contact me by
return mail.Please note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth
release of these funds to you has been finalised. We will discuss much in
details when I do receive your response. Please in your response include
your telephone number for easy communication between us.
Best Regards,
MR MUSTAFA JEGA
