My name is Mr Musa Adamu, ACOUNTANT OFFICER OF AFRICAN DEVELOMENT BANK PLC.I am pleased to inform you about my interest to use your Bank account for a deposit of $7.5million with the Bank. It may surprise you,but just give me your attention please.
An AMERICAN Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National petroleum Corporation, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months,valued at US$7.5million (Seven million five hundred thousand Dollars) with AFRICAN DEVELOMENT BANK PLC. since the year 2000. Ever since then,a routine notification has been sent several times to him without reply. In 2003, I discovered from his contract employee, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that my client is dead. Unfortunately, was a victim of the AF4590 German Concorde plane that crashed in France. On further investigation the entire family was in the plane, and no declaretion of inheritance on the deposit made to the Bank, as he intend to invest in ASIA.
I have made several research since 2003 till December last year, to reach any of his relation or family member for claim, without success and locate any of them, and the management of the AFRICAN DEVELOMENT BANK PLC is planning to confiscate the fund by the end of this month quarter, since the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum for many years. I want you to stand in as the next of Kin to the deceased,for us to save the fruits of the old man's labour before it get to the hands of some corrupt selfish officials of the government of Nigeria,whose interest is to confiscate this fund within 14 days from tomorrow.As soon as you consent to this request, I will immediately employ the service of a lawyer to notarize the WILL and obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor of you for the transfer of the fund to your Bank account.
You will receive; 45% of the total sum as compensation, base on your good intention to help me secure the fund in your account. I would also like to use 5% of the fund to rasie a reputable charity home or Foundation in the name of the deceased. My position here as the accountant officer guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. Looking forward to your urgent anticipation to this offer and pls provide me with your full information such as you Telephone and Fax numbers to enable us discuss better.
