Hello My Dear.
I am (MRS.LINDA EDWARD ) the Customer Service Manager section of UNITED
BANK FOR AFRICA, and also a special account officer of Mrs.Anna Parker,an
American.He was a seasoned contractor with NNPC,Mrs.Anna Parker, who
unfortunately died in a plane crash of Union Transport Africaines Flight
Being 727 in NIGERIA, on 25th December, 2003.Before his death on the 25th
December 2003,Mrs.Anna Parker has a fixed deposit account with the bank and
no other person know about this account or have any information relating to
this account.
The account has no beneficiary nor did next-of-kin other than him and my
investigation reveal that his supposed next-of-kin died along with him in
the crash.Since then, I have made several enquiries to locate any of his
extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you.
I'm contacting you to assist in remittance of a dormant fund as the next of
kin left behind by Mrs.Anna Parker so as not to allow the bank confiscate or
declare the funds unserviceable according to Nigeria Republic financial law
on unclaimed bills which the government usually map out for the purchase
of ammunitions which are the major course of connflicts in the west of
Africa.Consequently,I'm seeking your consent to present you as the
next-of-kin of the deceased so that the outstanding fixed deposit (US$14.6M)
will be remitted into any designated accounbt of yours to be shared by both
of us in the ratio of 60% to me and 40% for you.I have all necessary legal
documents to back up this claim. All that is required of you is absolute
honesty, total commitment,co-operation & absolute confidentialit.
Be rest-assured that this transaction will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect both parties from breach of the law and it is
100% risk free and attracts no authorities and every information you will
require as the next of kin will be forwarded to you after your final
acceptance to help me champion this deal.If this proposal is acceptable to
you,kindly email your following information to me.
a. Full Name(s)
b. Direct phone & fax number(s)
c. Your Contact Address.
Thank you for your cooperation until I read from you.you are hereby advice
to get back to me through my private mailbox below:
