REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
ATTENTION:
My Name is wont mention his name here,I am the Chief Accountant of Bill and Exchange at the wont mention where he works here I got your email address while searching for trustworthy countries and individuals. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $25.5m (twenty five million five hundred thousand US Dollars). In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family in september 11 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 it unless somebody
applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated
in our banking guidelines. But unfortunately, we learnt that all his
supposed next of! kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my department now decided to make this businness proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased 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 unclaimed Bill.The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after four years, the money will be transfered into the Bank treasury
as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this
business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a nigeria cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree that 40% of this money will be for you as foreign partner,in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for! expenses incured during the
business and 50% would be for;me and my colleagues. Thereafter, I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number,your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted .Upon receipt of your reply, You can have my contact below on fax,phone,and also email address.the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
