Dear friend,
I am obliged to write you especially concerning this forthnight transaction. My name is Mr.Jimmy Harris, and I work in the Standard Trusocent Bank Nigeria Plc .I am writing you in respect of a distinguished foreign customer with our bank, who died in a Plane Crash, His name is Engr.Daniel Scott, He was among those who died in a plane crash with his wife And their only child in the year 2005 October 23th. Sir, since the demise of this our customer ENGR.Daniel Scott, who was an oil Merchant/contractor,I have kept a close watch of the deposit records and accounts and since then no body has come to claim the money in this a/c as next of kin to the late Engineer.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you.I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money that belong to my client before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about $14.5 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confisicated within the next 14 official working days.
Since I have been unsuccesful in locating the the relatives for over a year now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at $14.5million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 50% to me and 45% to you,while 5% should be rembursement of incidental expenses that may incure during the process of the transactionor tax as your government may require, I will secure certificate of deposit and other relevant approvals documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the Law.Please get in touch with me by my email to enable us discuss further. Please contact me through my private email: (mr.jimmy_harris207@yahoo.fr}Looking forward to hear from you soonest.Best regards,Jimmy Harris.NB: Pls include to me your private telphone and fax number in your response.
