ATTN:
DEAR FRIEND,
I AM THE MANAGER OF BILLS AND EXCHANGE AT THE FOREIGN
REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT OF THE ECOBANK NIGERIA PLC. I AM
WRITING THIS LETTER TO ASK FOR SUPPORT AND
CO-OPERATION TO CARRY OUT THIS BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY IN
MY DEPARTMENT. WE DISCOVER AN ABANDONED SUM OF
US$30,000,000.00 (THIRTY MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS
ONLY) IN AN ACCOUNT THAT BELONGS TO ONE OF OUR FOREIGN
CUSTOMER WHO DIED ALONG WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY IN
NOVEMBER 1999 IN A PLANE CRASH.
SINCE WE GOT INFORMATION ABOUT HIS DEATH WE HAVE BEEN
EXPECTING HIS NEXT OF KIN TO COME OVER AND CLAIM HIS
MONEY BECAUSE WE CANNOT RELEASE THE MONEY UNLESS
SOMEBODY APPLIES FOR IT AS THE NEXT OF KIN OR RELATION
TO THE DECEASED AS INDICATED IN OUR BANKING
GUIDELINES. UNFORTUNATELY, NEITHER THE FAMILY MEMBER
NOR THE RELATION HAS APPEARED TO CLAIM THIS MONEY, AT
THIS DISCOVERY, I AND OTHER OFFICIALS IN THE
DEPARTMENT NOW DECIDED TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU AND
RELEASE THE MONEY TO YOU AS THE NEXT OF KIN OR
RELATION OF THE DECEASE FOR SAFETY AND SUBSEQUENT
DISBURSEMENT SINCE NOBODY IS COMING FOR IT AND WE
DON'T WANT THIS MONEY TO GO INTO THE BANK TREASURY AS
AN UNCLAIMED DEBT.
THE BANKING LAW AND GUIDELINES OF ECOBANK NIGERIA PLC
STIPULATES THAT IF SUCH MONEY REMAINED UNCLAIMED FOR A
PERIOD OF THREE (3) YEARS IT WILL BE TRANSFERRED INTO
THE BANK TREASURY AS UNCLAIMED FUND. THE NEED FOR A
FOREIGNER AS NEXT OF KIN IN THIS BUSINESS IS
OCCASSIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS A
FOREIGNER AND A NIGERIAN CANNOT STAND AS HIS NEXT OF
KIN OR HEIR. WE AGREED THAT 30% OF THE MONEY WILL BE
FOR YOU AS FOREIGN PARTNER, THERE AFTER MY COLLEAGUE
AND I WILL VISIT YOUR COUNTRY FOR DISBURSEMENT
ACCORDING TO THE PERCENTAGE INDICATED.
THEREFORE, TO ENABLE THE IMMEDIATE TRANSFER OF THE
FUND TO YOU AS INDICATED. YOU MUST APPLY TO THE BANK
AS A RELATION OR NEXT OF KIN OF THE DECEASED,
INDICATING YOUR BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER AND LOCATION
WHEREIN THE MONEY WILL BE REMITTED. UPON RECEIPT OF
REPLY BY MAIL, I WILL SEND TO YOU BY MAIL THE TEXT OF
APPLICATION. AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE THIS LETTER YOU
SHOULD CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY AND INDICATE YOUR DIRECT
FAX AND CONFIDENTIAL TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR EFFECTIVE
COMMUNICATION TRUSTING TO HEAR FROM YOU IMMEDIATELY ON
YOURS FAITHFULLY,
MR. WILLIAMS.
ECO BANK NIGERIA PLC. CALL ME ON THIS MOBILE 234-8033530658 FOR MORE DETIALS.
