From Mr Young whites
Bill and Exchange Manager
Citi Bank Plc Lagos,
Nigeria.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Compliments of the season. I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of Citi Bank Plc .I am writing to seek your coperation over a business deal. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $25million USD (Twenty Five million US dollars) . In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in November 1997 in a plane crash.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my department now decided to make this businness proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it .We don,t want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclamed after five years, the money will be transfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
We agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incured during the business and 60 % would be for me and my colleagues. There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement accoding to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your claims and wherein the money will be remitted .
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is stricly confidential and i will use all our position in this Bank to effect a hitch free transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Your,s faithfully,
Mr Young Whites
Bill and exchange manager,
Citi Bank Plc
Lagos.
