Lagos-Nigeria.
RC.27199
Dear Friend,
STRICTLY A PRIVATE BUSINESS PROPOSAL.
I feel quite safe and satisfy dealing with you in this mutual beneficial transaction.Though, this medium (Internet) has been greatly abused, I choose to reach you through it because it still remains the fastest.
I am Dr.Peter Ngema. The manager, Bills and Exchange at the Foreign Remittance department of the A.U.D.B Bank of Nigeria Plc. 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 $15,000,000M US DOLLARS (15
million United States Dollars only)in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers Mr.Andreas Schranner who died along with his entire family of a wife and two children in July 31st 2000 in a plane For further enquiry view the web-site for more details.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm.
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 he 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;25% foryou as foreign partner, 75 % for us the officials in my department.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 75 % 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 and your designated bank coordinates 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 STRICTLYCONFIDENTIAL because of its nature.
I look forward to receiving your prompt response.
Dr.Peter Ngema.
AFRICAN UNION DEVELOPMENT BANK OF NIGERIA(A.U.D.B)
