Subject: Urgent Respond Needed
Dear Friend, I Am Mr. Gabriel Johnson the Manager, Bills And Exchange at the
Foreign Remittance Department in a Bank. Actually, I have a very urgent &
confidential Business Proposition for you and our overall mutual interest.
On the 6th of March 2001, our Customer, An American National, late Jeffrey
Collman, an Oil Merchant / Contractor with the Federal Government of
Nigeria, deposited, a valued amount of US$32Million in my branch.Upon
maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarded address but got no
reply. After a month we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employers NNPC, that late Jeffrey Collman, until his death five
years ago in a terrorist attack to American Airlines Flight 11,from Boston,
Massachusetts to Los Angeles, California, crashed into the North Tower of
the World Trade Center (WTC) with 86 people on board.All occupants of the
Aeroplane unfortunately lost their lives. On further investigation, I found
out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his Next of
kinwere fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and
discovered that
late Jeffrey Collman, did not declare any Next of kin in all his official
documents. This sum of US$32Million is still floating in the bank and the
interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each
year. No one has come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian Laws, at
the expiration of 7years, the money will revert to the Ownership of the
Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Consequently, my
proposal is that i will like you as a foreigner to stand in as a Next of kin
to late Jeffrey Collman. This is simple. All I require is your honest and
co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will
be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law. I will want you to send to me in your return mail the
following information for the transfer in your favor. 1.) Your full names as
the Beneficiary of the Fund. (2.) Your contact address. (3.) Your private
phone and fax numbers, (4.)Your age.(5.)Your sex. (6.) Your occupation(s).
N/B: I, the Originator of the Fund will take 60% of the transferable
Fund,you as the Manager of the Fund will take 40% of the transferable Fund.
Most importantly, CONFIDENTAILITY will be our watch word in this
transaction. You have to use this medium to promise me that you will not in
anyway expose the content of this transaction to anybody be it your
Friends,Colleagues and Co-Workers. I will also want you to send your reply
as soon as you get this mail to enable us discuss on the modalities and
processes for success of this transaction. Thanks for your anticipated
cooperation and understanding. I wait for your kind response.Remain blessed
GUIDAMOSSS@YAHOO.COM.Mr. Gabriel Johnson
