Dear Friend,
I am an accountant with OCEANIC BANK INTERNATIONAL; my name is
Mr.KINGSLEY OSAGIE a Banker. I am the Accounts officer to ENGINEER
(Ambrozy wheldon) a Foreign National, who is a contractor with the
DEPARTMENT OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES VICTORIA ISLAND, LAGOS.
Here in after shall be referred to as my client On May 4th 2002 , my
client, his wife and their two children were involved in a plane crash
with some members of ministers of sports of Nigeria, Airways flight
with Company name EAS airline which departed from Kano to it
destination Lagos crashed with all the passengers on-board and the
flight crew, including his family died in this fatal air crash on 4th
May 2002.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, hence I contacted you. I
have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property
left behind by my client before they get the account confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the bank where these huge deposits were
lodged, particularly the OCEANIC BANK INTERNATIONAL Where the deceased
had an account Valued at about ($6.0 million United States dollar).
The Bank's administrative department has issued me a
notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated
within the next fourteen 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 since
nobody came up for the claim so that the proceeds of this account
valued at ($6.O Million US Dollars) be paid to you and then you and I
can share the money 50% to me and 40% to you. While 10% for unforeseen
bottle necks we might incurred in this
transaction.
An attorney will be contracted to help us revalidate and notarize all
the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we
may
make.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you and I from any breach of the law.
Best regards,
KINGSLEY OSAGIE
