Mr. Victor Edozie.
Access Bank Plc.
Dear Friend.
My name is Mr. Victor Edozie., I am the credit manager of Access Bank
Nigeria Plc. I am contacting you of a business transfer, of a huge sum of
money from a deceased account.
Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one
apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that everything has been
taken care off, and all will be well at the end of the day. I decided to
contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.
PROPOSITION;
I am the account officer of a foreigner named Barbara Hatleberg and her
husband Glenn Hatleberg who died in an air crash along with his wife on the
January 31 in an Alaska airline Flight 261 with other passengers on board.
You can confirm this from the website below which was published by
CNN.WEBSITE.http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
Since his death, none of his next-of-kin are alive to make claims for this
money as his heir, because they all died in the same accident himself and
his wife (May their soul rest in peace). We cannot release the fund from his
account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased
as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next
of kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be carefully worked out
by me for the funds (US$25,500,000,00) to be released in your favor as the
beneficiary's next of kin.
Because after four years the money will be called back to the bank treasury
as unclaimed bills and the money shared amongst the directors of the bank.
so it is on this note I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as
the next of kin/beneficiary to this funds rather than allow the bank
directors to share this money amongst themselves at the end of the year.
It may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate an order
of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries. Please acknowledge
receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business endeavor by
furnishing me with the following information if you are interested.
1. A Beneficiary name. In order for me to prepare the document for transfer
of the funds in your name.
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers. For our personal contact and mutual
trust in each other.
I shall be compensating you with Four million dollars (US$7,650,000.00)
which is 30% on final conclusion of this project for your assistance, while
we will retain US$16,575,000 which is 65% dollars and 5%
(US$1,275,000.00)goes for expenses
Because I intend to retire after the conclusion of this transaction. If this
proposal is acceptable by you, please endeavor to contact me immediately. Do
not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you, I await your
urgent response.
Regards,
Mr. Victor Edozie.
Access Bank Plc
