Auditing and Account manager
African Development Bankplc,Lagos.
Email,collinsgood25@hotmail.com
Attention,The Honourable One,
I am Mr Goodvine Collins, the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of African Development BankPlc{ADB} Lagos,Nigeria, West Africa, and
also a special account officer of Mr. Peter Lund,an European.
He was a seasoned Engineer with shell petroleum Company,Nigeria, who
unfortunately died in a plane crash of Union Transport Africaines Flight
Boeing 727 in Cotonou, Republic of Benin on 25th December, 2003.
Before his death on the 25th December 2003, Mr.Lund has a fixed deposit
account with the bank valued $12 million usd,and no other person know about
this account or have any information relating to this account.
The account has Dr,Mrs Helen Lund as the next-of-kin,but unfortunetely,Mrs
Lund died out of protracted cancer a week before Mr lund died in plane
crash,no other person knows about this fund,excerpt me, and my investigation
revealed that his daugther 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 I'm contacting you to assist in
remittance of a dormant fund as the next of kin left behind by Mr. Lund so
as not to allow the bank confiscate or declare the funds unserviceable
according to Nigeria financial law on unclaimed bills.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, kindly let me know,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
confidentiality.
Mr Goodvine Collins
