Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Suleman Zubari, a manager in charge of operations and corporate Banking services First Atlantic Bank Plc, Lagos Island Branch. It is my wish to contact you on this bussiness opportunity with the hope that you will be of valuable assistance.
On June 6, 2002, a National of your Country and an Oil Consultant/Contractor with the Shell Petroleum Nigeria Plc, Engr. Mark, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$10,000,000.00 (Ten Million United States Dollars only,) in my
branch. Upon maturity, I 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, the Shell Petroleum Nigeria Plc that he died from a ghashly Motor accident along with his wife and thier only daughter. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making "WILL", and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that this Customer did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of 10,000,000.00 United States Dollars only,is still sitting in my Bank. Since there was no declaration of any next of kin made by th tis customer in his documents ,no one will ever come forward to claim this amount. According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. I therefore wish to contact you to seek for your co-operation and assistance to enable
me to present you as the next of kin to this late customer so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials here in this country.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that this money will be released into a Bank Account which you will provide as the next of kin and beneficiary of this Amount.
The Attorney whom we will engage his services down here, will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits which will put you in place as the next of kin since you shares the same last names with our late customer.
Your country, occupation or previous relationship with this customer is irrelivant to this transaction.
What is required from you is truSt,confidence and reliability.
A Bank Account from any bank which you will provide, will then facilitate the transfer of this money.
The money will be paid into your Account for us to share in the ratio of 50 / 50 % Both of us. This transaction involves no risk whatsoever and will not affect you or the operations of your normal bussiness in any way as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successfull Remittance of this money
into your Account. As a matter of urgent attention could you please forward your contact telephone numbers to me to facilitate easier and faster communication between you and myself.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and my private contact telephone number.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be 100 % rest assured that this transaction would be concluded smooth and succesfull. Your interest will be adequately protected. At the successful conclusion of this transaction, I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
