Mr. Stanley Hassan.
Director of Corporate Banking Department,
Eco International Bank Plc.
16 William Street,SW
Ikoyi, Lagos-Nigeria
PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL:
Sir,
I am Mr. Stanley Hassan, a fellow of the Nigeria Institute of Bankers.
I am the Personal Account Officer to late Mr. Peterson Dank, a
Foreigner, who worked with European Petroleum Development
Company in Nigeria. On The 21st of April 2002, my client,
his wife and their only child were involved in a car accident
along Abuja Garki Express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their
lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to his
embassy to see if i can locate any of my clients
extended relatives, this has all the while proved
unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful
attempts, I decided to trace his direct relatives (i.e. same
Family) over the Internet, to locate any member of
his family but to no avail, hence I contact you. I
have contact you to assist in repatriating the money
left behind by my late client before it is confiscated or
declared unserviceable by this bank where this huge
deposit was lodged.
Particularly, this Bank where the deceased had an
account/deposit valued at about USD17.3 million dollars has issued
to my department a notice to provide the next of kin to the deceased
or have the account confiscated within the next ten
official working days. Since i have been unsuccessful
in locating the relatives for over 2 years now I seek
your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased to this bank since you are equally a foreigner, so that the
proceeds of this account valued at $17.3 million USD
can be paid to you and then you and myself can share the
money, 60% to me and 35% to you, while 5% should be
for expenses or tax as your government may require. I
have all necessary legal documents that can be used to
back up any claim we may make.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us
see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in
touch with me by my email to
enable us discuss further.
My best regards,
Mr. Stanley Hassan.
