I am an external auditor of a well-known bank here in the United Kingdom. In one of our periodic auditing I discovered a dormant account with holdingbalance of 150,000,000 (One Hundred & Fifty Million British Pounds), whichhas not been operated for the past three years.From my investigations andconfirmations, the owner of this account is a foreigner who died long ago andsince then nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this moneybecause he has no familymembers who are aware of the existence of neither theaccount nor the funds.
I have secretly discussed this matter with a top senior official of the FederalMinistry of Finance here and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partnerto deal with us although due to his position he did not want to take activepart but as soon as you follow my instructions everything will be successfulbecause we will be working hand in hand with him. We this purpose to dobusiness with you, standing in as the next of kin of these funds from thedeceased and after due legal processes have been followed the fund will bereleased to your account without delay and we will use it for investment and toassist the less privileged in the societies because if we left the fund withthegovernment it will be fortified for nothing and will be used to suppress thepoor masses in the society.
