Subject: YOUR CO-OPERATION/ASSISTANCE.NEEDED
UNION BANK OF NIGERIA PLC
LAGOS-NIGERIA.
Dear Friend,
I am Dr.Simon D.Mann, of Bills and Exchange at the foreign remitance
department of the Union Bank of Nigeria Plc. I am writing this letter
to ask for your suppport and co-operation to carry out this business
opportunity in my department.I discovered an abandoned sum of
$20.565m(twenty million, five hundred and sixty five thousand united states
dollars only) in Account Number 11008734290 status of account fixed deposit
account, that
belongs to one of our foreign customer Mr.Lee won C.E.O.,WONG LEE
CONSTRUCTION COMANY NIGERIA LIMITED,Who died along with his entire family in
November 2002 in a plane crash. Since we got information about his death we
can not release the money unless somebody applies for it as the next of kin
or relation to the deceased.As indicated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately,neither the family members nor the relations have
appeared to claim this money.At this discovery,I decided to do business with
you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation of the
deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for
it and I don't
want this money to go into the bank trasury as an unclaimed debt.The
banking law and guidelines of Union Bank of Nigeria Plc stipulates that if
such money remained unclaimed for a period of Six (6) years it will be
transfered into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund.the need for a foreigner
as next of kin in this siness is occasioned by the fact that the costomer
was
foreigner and as a Nigerian cannot stand as his next of kin or heir.I agreed
that 30% of the money will be for you as foreign partner,thereafter I will
visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated.
Therefore to enable the lmmediate transfer of the fund to you as
indicated.You must apply to the bank as relation or next of kin of the
deceased.Indicating your bank number an indicating where the money will
be remitted.Upon receipt of reply.I will send to you the text of
application as soon as you receive this letter you should reach me through
my above e-mail immediately and indicate this informations below:
1.Your full name and address
2.Your telephone and fax number for easy communication.
3.Your company's name and address.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by email, the
Certificate of Deposit and the application of Claim.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is
hitch-free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all
required
arrangements have been made for the movement of the money.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
