First,I must apologise to you for using this medium to communicate
about this transaction,though it is my great pleasure in writing
you this letter on behalf of my colleague and myself.I am John
Udoh,the manager in charge of auditing and accounting section of
Mager Trust Bank in Lagos,Nigeria.My colleague and I have decided
to contact you on a business transaction that will be very
beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.I would be
brief and direct to ensure you understand everything properly.I
will prefer we use my secure email box for further
communication:(censored)
During our investigation and auditing in this bank,my department
came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a wealthy and now
deceased customer of our Bank who died on 26 September 1997 in a
plane crash in Garuda,Indonesia.He operated a 15yrs life scheme
with our bank. The value of this account is Fourteen million
British Pounds Sterling (14million GBP).Since his untimely death
the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any
claim of the funds either from his family or relations before our
discovery to this development.
Meanwhile the whole arrangement to put claim over these funds as
the bonafide next of kin to the deceased and transfer this money to
a foreign account has been put in place.Directives and needed
information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your
interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit from this
great business opportunity.We could have done this deal on our
own,but because of our position in this country operating a local
account would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the
time of transfer because I work in this bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party that
will forward claims as the next of kin to the Bank and also present
a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred
into on his request as it would be after due verification and
clearification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the
whole money will be remitted from to your own designated bank
account.
May I at this point emphasize that this transaction is a successful
arrangement,as an insider of the bank I have the capacity to
monitor that everything is going well. On smooth conclusion of this
transaction, you will be entitled to your own share of the total
sum as gratification.This share of yours is negotiable as long as
it is reasonable.Please, you have been adviced to keep this a top
secret as we are still in service and intend to retire from service
after we conclude this deal with you.I will be monitoring the whole
situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your
account and ask us to come down to your country for subsequent
sharing of the fund according to percentages we shall agree
upon.All other necessary information will be sent to you on your
acceptance to champion this transaction with us.I suggest you get
back to me as soon as possible,stating your wish in this deal.
Yours faithfully,
John Udoh.
