Subject: LETS DO THIS TOGETHER
*Hello Friend,
First, i would like to apologies for the manner at which this letter
comes to you, Some times, the inhuman act in the world today does not
allow our good morals work for us this is the reason would want you to
carefully read my letter over again and do me a huge favor in assisting
me and together we would build a lasting relationship.About three years ago,
the management of the United Bank For Africa plc
formerly called the Standard Trust Bank plc lost one of its very
passionate inestimable customers to a ghastly
motor accident along the Lagos Sagamu express road, the death was one
that shook the entire bank for a period of time because of the
magnitude of relationship we had with him. I personally felt the weight of
the heat Because apart from the fact that
I personally managed his account for so many years, i was a very close
friend to his entire family.Long after the funeral that was held in Lagos a
long side the
management staffs of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation where he
worked until his death. The funeral was
full of tears and wailing because it was a burial of a whole family,
Wilfred my client, Rebecca his wife and Russell and Debbie their two
children. The management and staff of the
United Bank for Africa where I work as an accountant has waited
endlessly for any member of his family to come forward for the claim of a
total of 14million USD left behind by Wilfred to no avail. The banking laws
here states that after while, the funds will be declared unserviceable
and will go into the treasury, this Is the reason I have seeked for your
assistance. I have been mandated by the management of the bank to
produce his next of kin based on my relationship with him and the fact that
i was a close associate and would have vital informations as to the
presenting of his beneficiary hence I contacted you.Since I have been
unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years 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 million u s dollars) can be paid to you and then
you and I Can share the money.50% to me and 45% to you and 5% for any
expenditure made during the repatriating
of the fund into your account.All I require is your honest co-operation to
enable us seeing this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law. Enclose your private telephone number for easy
communication. you can contact me on my private email addresss below.*
*Best Regards,*
*Mr. MARK BABATUNDE
United Bank for Africa Plc
