Mr Ade Yemi
Assurance Bank Plc,
Lagos-Nigeria.
My Dear friend,
I got your contact through the internet and I decided to reach you because presently i am in desperate need of a trust worthy foreign person for this proposal.
I am Mr Ade Yemi Branch Manager, Assurance Bank Ltd. In January 2002, one of my customer (foreigner) who is a consultant/contractor with the Federal Ministry of Mines and Power, made a numbered time Fixed) Deposit, valued at US$11,500,000.00 (Eleven Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars), for twelve (12) calendar months in my Bank branch.
Upon maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers that he is no longer on earth.
The said fund is still in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. in accordance with the Nigerian Federal Law, at the expiration of 4 (four) years, the money will berevert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody come for the claim.
Consequently, I shall present you as the next of kin, hence you are a foreigner it will be easy for us to claim the money and the money will be share in the ratio of 60% for me, 40% for you .There is no risk involved as i will use my position as the Branch Bank Manager to secure approvals and guarantee the successful execution of this transaction within 7- working days.
If this proposal interest you,
Look forward for your urgent reply.
Thanks,
Best regards.
