Subject: Re:from Lewis
Attn: The C.E.O,
I am Mr. Lewis Kibuuka, Provincial Director United Bank of Africa, Lagos,
Branch. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
On June 8, 1999, a foreign German property magnate, Mr. Andreas Schranne
made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months,valued at
(twenty five Million Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.After a month, we
sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers,the
Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation that Mr.Andreas Schranne died along
with his entire family a wife and a daughter on 31 July, 2000 in an
aeroplane crash.Since we heard of his death via the news
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL,
and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.I therefore made
further investigation and discovered that Mr. Andreas Schranne did not
declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his
Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of Twenty five million dollars
is
still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the
principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to
claim it. According to Nigeria Law, at the expiration of 8 (eight) years,
the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody
applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in
as the next of kin to Mr. Andreas Schranne so that the fruits of this old
man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government
officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full
names and address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents
and
affidavits which will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ
the service of two Attorneys for drafting and notarization of the WILL and
to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in
your favour for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world which
you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you
as the beneficiary/next of kin.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60%
for me and 40% for you.There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this
transaction will be done by the Attorney and my position as the Branch
Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.If you are
interested, please reply immediately via my private email
address:l_kibuuka80@yahoo.es <address%3Al_kibuuka80@yahoo.es>
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require
your assistance to invest my share in your country. Awaiting your urgent
reply via my email:l_kibuuka80@yahoo.es <email%3Al_kibuuka80@yahoo.es>
Thanks and regards.
Mr.Lewis Kibuuka.
