Zenith bank Nig plc
Lagos-NigeriaDear Sir,
RE: STRICTLY A PRIVATE BUSINESS PROPOSAL.
I am Dr Franklyn douglas, the manager, bill and exchange
at the foreign Remittance of the Zenith Bank of
Nigeria plc. I am writing this letter to ask for your
assistance and cooperation to carry out this business
in my department. We discovered an abandoned sum of
$25 million Dollars only, in an account that belongs
to one of our foreign customers who died along with
his entire family on November 1997 in a plane crash.
Since we heard of his death, we have been expecting
his next of kin to come over and put claim for his
money as heir, because we cannot release the fund from
his account unless someone applies for claim as the
next of kin to the deceased as indicated in ourbanking
guidelines.
Unfortunately, neither their family member nor distant
relative has ever appeared to claim the said fund.
Upon this discovery, I and my other officials in my
department have agreed to make business with you and
release the total amount into your account as the heir
of the fund since no one came for it or discovered he
maintain account with our bank, other wise the fund
will be returned to the bank treasury as
unclaimedfund.
We have agreed that our ratio of shearing will be
asstated thus;
20% for you as foreign partner,75% for us the
officials in my department and
5% for the settlement of all local and foreign
expenses incurred by you and us during the course of
this business. Upon the successful completion of the
transfer, I and one of my colleagues will come to your
country and mind our share. It is from this 75% that
we intend to import agricultural machines into our
country as a way of recycling the fund. to commence
this transaction, we require you to immediately
indicate your interest by a return fax and enclose
your private contact telephone and fax number, your
designated bank coordinates to enable us file letter
of claim to the appropriate department for necessary
approvals before the transfer the transfer can
bemade.
Note also, that this transaction must be kept strictly
confidential because of its nature.
I look forward to receiv
ing your prompt
response.Regards,
Dr Franklyn douglas.
