FROM THE DESK OF MR ROBERT EDEH
SENIOR ACCOUNTAN
UNITED BANK FOR AFRICA PLC (UBA)
UBA TOWERS
170 MAIN STREET, LAGOS
NIGERIA.
Dear Friend,
Before I start, I must first apologize for this unsolicited mail to you.I am aware that this is certainly an unconventional approach to establishing a relationship, but you will realize the reason for my action after going through this email. My name is Robert Edeh, a senior accountant with the UBA. I am the Accounts officer to Late Engineer Allan Coulter a national of your country, who was a contractor with the Shell Nigeria (Pty) Ltd (OilDivision). On 4 May 2002, my friend Alan Coulter, his wife, and their three children were involved in sosoliso Plane Crash in Kano , whilst enroute from Lagos to Abuja (the capital city of Nigeria), all occupants in the Plane lost their lives, unfortunately on this same flight were other dignitaries like the former Nigeria Sports minister and a host of others. Even though Shell Nigeria the company which he represented before his death and the entire bank has tried to locate the next of kin via the Embassy for over 5 years, there !
hasn't been anyone directly or indirectly related to him ampart from his colleagues and friends here in Nigeria. After several unsuccessful attempts, I made a personal research through the International Relations/Personal management department of the bank to locate any member of his family, which also proved abortive. Hence, I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my friend before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged, particularly the UNITED BANK FOR AFRICA PLC (UBA). Where the deceased had an account Valued at about ($35,000,000).
As a senior accountant with the bank I am ready to provide all necessary information regarding this transaction. I dont want his account confiscated, that is why I urge you to come towards the claim. I know and understand that you are not the real next of kin, but at this point in time your maximum co-operation is needed towards this claim. Since no one can come for the claim, I seek your consent to present you to my bank as the next of kin of the deceased. So that the proceeds of his account valued at ($35,000,000) can be paid in your favour.
55% of the total sum will belong to me, 40% to you. While 5% will be used to settle all neccessary expenses incured during the curse of this transaction. All I require is your maximum co-operation towards this claim. I will be glad to see your commitment towards this transaction.
I await your urgent reply. (You may reply me back directly through my private e-mail: robert_edeh02@msn.com) only if you are interested in this proposal.
Best regard's
Robert Edeh
