I am Mr. dave godwin of the bills and exchange at the
foreign remitance department of Oceanic Bank Nig. PLC.
I am offering this proposal to solicite your support
and co-operation to carry out this urgent business
transaction.
Precisely on the 22nd of october,2005. A very
prominent client of ours, the first lady of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, Chief Mrs Stella
Obansanjo passed away while undergoing surgery in
Spain. Before her death, I personally managed several
accounts for her including those for her pet project
Child Care Trust [C.C.T] . During an internal
investigation conducted by her lawyer and myself we
discovered an abandoned sum of money $28.5 (Twenty
Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars Only).
Since her demise, Nobody has approached the bank to
claim the money because she did not indicate anyone as
her next of kin and besides the details of the account
are still being kept secret by myself and the
lawyer,who incidentally is the only signatory to the
account. In line with this present scenario, I have
decided to contact you on behalf of the lawyer to
release the money to you for safe keeping. We have
agreed that you can have 30% of the money as a foreign
partner thereafter we will visit your country for
disbursement according to the percentage indicated.
As soon as I hear from you, I will have the Lawyer
swing into action by obtaining all relevant documents
to ensure smooth free transaction, as all documents
would be legalised to soothe the purpose and effect
change of ownership, including affidavit of claim and
letter of administration, and thereafter, we will move
all legal and transfer documents to our offshore
clearing house in Madrid Spain, where the money would
be paid to your account, because as she has made it in
her account documents funds would be paid through the
bank in Spain. Details of the bank will be made
available to you as soon as we finalised all the legal
requirements here in Nigeria.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of
ownership, the details of your bank account
information is needed, telephone and fax numbers
including your company name and address and other
relevant informations are needed Urgently. The lawyer
will take care of all legal documents involved while I
on my part will ensure the speedy transfer of the
funds to you. Please your reply is urgently required
as we have less than four months before the internal
auditors begin their investigations. You can contact
me through this email address
( dave353500@excite.com)
Hope to hear from
you soonest.
Mr. dave godwin
