Subject: Next Of Kin
* * 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 Mr.MORONIKE ADAMS, I am the managing director of Citizens Trust
Bank Plc of Nigeria.I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank
(ANTHONY AARON MOORE of your country) who had a plane crash and died on 4th
of May 2002 in a local plane crash at Kano State, which enrooted from sokoto
to Abuja (the capital city of Nigeria), all occupants in the Plane lost
their lives, unfortunately on this same flight were otherdignitaries like
the former Nigeria Sports Minister and a host of others.
There is an account opened in my bank in the year 2001 by this great late
INDUSTRIALIST/FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR who died without a written or
oral WILL attatched to the account.
Since his death ,I have personally watched and waiting with keen interest to
see the next of kin but no one has come or show-up to be his next of kin to
claim his fund, and no other person knows about this account or anything
concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and until his death and
he was also the manager of his company.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than few year
without claim,hence the money wil be recalled to the Gorvernment treasury as
unclaimed after this long period of domancy.
It is in light of these development that I am compelled to seek your
indulgence and active participation in a well thought out scheme for you to
act as the NEXT OF KIN and foreign beneficiary of the fund from the
deceased,since no one has come up to be the next of KIN.
The total amount involved is $US26.5 Million (US DOLLARS). I wish to start
the first transfer with half of the total fund and upon successful
transaction without any disappointment from your side, you shall re-apply
for the transfer of the remaining balance into your account.
Should my proposal apeal to you,and upon the receipt of your reply, I can
obtain and manipulate all vital document neccessary for a sucessful transfer
of the fund into your bank account.I will also send you a detailed
information about the transaction.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100% risk
free and that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities for fund
transfer can be finalized within 14 banking days, after you apply to the
bank as the beneficiary of the fund from the deceased.
I look forward to your quick response.Let trust and honesty be our
watchward.
Best Regards.
Mr. Moronike Adams.
