VERY URGENT ATTENTION,
Please permit me to introduce my humble self to you, my name is Mr. Steven
James, I am the Manager of International Relation with Citizens Bank of
Nigeria Limited, I 'm 41yrs old, and I got your email address from our
central monitor, and my confidence reposed on you. I hope you read this
message carefully and reply me immediately. Although we have not met before,
but I suggest that this transaction will bring us together.
My dear, we had a customer, a foreigner but based here in Nigeria, his Name
was Mr. Hamilton Creek. He is from Atlanta Georgia United State of America,
but based here with his wife and his two children, Mr. Hamilton has being
banking with us for the past 4yrs and some time in August 2002, Mr. Hamilton
was on his way to his house, and unfortunately ran into a Trailer load of
Groundnut Oil, and died immediately, Their car got burnt, no single soul was
saved, Mr. Hamilton Creek and His entire family was confirmed dead.
My Board of Directors and the Management of Citizens Bank has mandated and
instructed me to look for Mr. Hamilton Creek’s relation(s) and his Next of
Kin to come and claim his fund, Since August 2003 Till date, I have been
looking for his relation's or his next of Kin to come and claim his fund
which he Deposited with our bank, I have contacted his Embassy and after
3days, his Ambassador told me that Mr. Hamilton Creek has no relation and no
next of Kin, their Ambassador told me that he used his first son as His next
of
kin, but it is quite unfortunate that Mr. Hamilton Creek Died with all his
family members.
The reason why I contacted you is thus, Mr. Hamilton is dead, and his only
son who supposed to inherit his properties and money also died With him. As
at this moment, nobody or person[s] is coming to claim this Money from our
bank. The Board of Directors and management of our bank told me that if
nobody or person [s] apply for the claim of Mr. Hamilton Fund, the bank will
return the entire Fund into our Federal reserve. In the Light of the above,
I want you to stand as the next of kin to Late Mr. Hamilton Creek, it might
interest
you to know that he had a Domiciliary Bank Account with our Bank and he has
a total sum of US$9.2M Nine Million Two Hundred Dollars, this is the exact
amount which he had in his domiciliary account before the ugly incident
occurred, and this money is still in his account as unclaimed money.
This transaction is very easy and simple, and it is 100% risk free, I'm the
Manager for International Relations with Citizens Bank of Nigeria Limited,
and the Management and Board of Directors of the Bank are waiting for me to
provide to them the Relation or next of Kin to late Mr. Hamilton Creek, of
which I told them that I am still searching the next of kin to the deceased.
Finally, if you are interested with this transaction, I will front you to
the bank as the only next of kin to late Mr. Hamilton Creek, and I will let
the bank know that you are the only right person to inherit Late Mr.
Hamilton Funds and properties. If you are interested, just email me or call
me on my direct and private line#: +234-80-28135166 and late Mr.
Hamilton’s Funds will be credited into your account and all his Properties
will be released to you either through Courier Services or the Bank will
Cargo all his properties to you in any were you want it.
So reply me immediately and feel free to ask any question with regards to
this transaction. You will take 50% of the US$9.2M. Which is? US$4.600,
000.00 Four Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars, while the Balance of the
same amount will be mine and bear in mind that this transaction is 100%
legal .
Your swift response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and have a nice day.
Friendly Regards
Mr. Steven James
