Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Daniel Okemute, Branch Manager with Eco Bank International
Plc {E.B.I}. I am writing this letter to ask for your support and
cooperation to carry out this business opportunity in my department. We
discovered an abandoned sum of fifteen million dollars ($15 million u.
s. dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers
Late Engineer A. James who died in the Ikeja bomb blast of the January
27, 2002 my client, his wife, and their two children were involved in
Ikeja bomb blast unfortunately they lost their lives in the process of
the bomb blast.
Since we heard of his death, we have been expecting his next-of-kin to
come over and put claims for his money as the heir, because we cannot
release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as
the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately, neither their family member nor distant relative has
ever appeared to claim the said fund.
Upon this discovery, I and other officials in my department have
agreed to make business with you and release the total amount into your
account as the heir of the fund since no one came for it or discovered
his maintained account with our bank, otherwise the fund will be
returned to the banks treasury as unclaimed fund. We have agreed that
our ratio of sharing will be as stated thus; 30 % for you as foreign
partner, 65 % for us the officials in my department and 5 % for the
settlement of all local and foreign expenses incurred during the course
of this business.
Upon the successful completion of this transfer, I and one of my
colleagues will come to your country and mind our share. It is from our
65% we intend to import Agricultural Machineries into my country as a
way of recycling the fund. To commence this transaction, we require you
to immediately indicate your interest by a return e-mail and enclose
your private contact telephone number, fax number full name and address
to enable us file letter of claim to the appropriate departments for
necessary approvals before the transfer can be made.
Note also, this transaction must be kept STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL because
of its nature. I look forward to receiving your prompt response.
