Mr.Collins Moore,
Accounts Operation Department
United Bank for Africa Plc ( UBA )
Dear Friend ,
I crave your indulgence as I contact you in such a surprising manner and I want you to bear in mind that this is not a hoax but I respectfully insist you read this mail carefully as I am optimistic it will open door for unimaginable financial reward for both of us. I am Mr.Collins Moore the personal Accountant and a very good friend to late Engr., James Murphy , a foreigner, who used to be Oil Merchandise in Nigeria. On The 21st of April 2004, my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident along Sagbama Express Road.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several inquiries to locate any of my client's extended relatives and this has been unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his name over the Internet to locate any member of his family or any close name to his, hence I contacted you, I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank, United Bank For Africa Plc {UBA}, where this huge amount, TEN MILLION, SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS (USD$10.6m) were lodged.
The Bank has issued me a notice to provide any of his relations or have the fund confiscated within the next 21 Banking days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for four (4) years now, I seek your consent to present you as the closet relation of the deceased since you are a foreigner and also operate a foreign account so that this USD$10.6million can be transferred into your account and then you and I will share this fund basing on the agreed sharing mode between two of us. You are going to get 40% while I will have 60% as the principal figure. All we need is to agree on this or if you have any suggestion, please do come up with it while replying this mail so that we can work together as one family.
All I require is your honest co-operation and confidentiality to enable us see this deal through, I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Since you are ready and interested to work with me sincerely and honestly, I advise you to re-confirm to me your full data and readiness to work with me. As the Accountant to late Engr. James Murphy , I will invariably and inevitably become your adviser and will feed you with all the necessary information you will need to proceed on.
My dear, it’s my expectation and believes that with this you will be absolutely satisfied and assured that you are on safe ground. I am quite sure that we are going to work out together to your satisfaction. All we need now is our total sincerity and unalloyed trust to one another since we do not physically know each other for now “but I do believe the adage from the holy book that said that two cannot work together unless they agree”
Also, it is through your phone, email that is the best means for the Bank getting across to you or if any other way(s) you can indicate so that if that will be ok for the bank, fine, business can commence. Thank you for your anticipated co-operation and assistance while unequivocally assuring you of my genuineness.
IF YOU ADHERE STRICTLY TO MY INSTRUCTIONS, THIS DEAL WILL BE OVER IN FOURTEEN (14) WORKING DAYS.PLEASE IN YOUR REPLY DO SEND ME THIS INFORMATION AS STATED BELOW:-
1) YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS:
2) OFFICE ADDRESS (IF DIFFERENT FROM 2 ABOVE):
3) TEL/ FAX NUMBER AND MOBILE NUMBER (PRIVATE):
4) MARITAL STATUS:
5) AGE:
6) OCCUPATION:
7) GENDER.
Regards and be blessed.
Mr.Collins Moore {Acc}.
