Dear Sir,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly, CONFIDENTIAL, though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried,but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. I have decided to contact you because of the urgency of this transaction.
Let me start by first introducing myself properly to you. I am DR.OLUSHEGUN COLE, a director at the union bank of Nigeria Plc, Lagos. I came to know of you in a private search for a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidencial transaction which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a forieng account requring maximum confidence.
A foreigner, Late Enginieer Lawrence Nassib, an oil merchant/contactor with the Federal Government of Nigeria until his death four years ago, in a gastly air crash that happened on November 6, 1996 here in Nigeria (ADC Airline) had in his domiciliary account with us an equivalent of US$13.5 as closing balance. Uncleared effect totalling US$1.8M. Our banks board, before the last Annual General Meeting (AGM) now expects this closing balance of US$13.5M to be claimed by the late Enginieer Lawrence Nassib's forieng next of kin or be donated as UNCLAIMED to a trust fund for arms and ammunition at a Military War Colledge here in Nigeria. This idea is most unreasonable hence, I have decided to take this step.
Fervent efforts made by the Union Bank to get in touch with any of the Nassibs family or relatives all have proved abortive. As a result of this, our Chairman and board of Directors are in the process of declaring the funds "UNCLAIMABLE".
As an insider and the actual manager of the account and balance, my colleagues and I have decided to contact you to act as Late Lawrence Nassib's next of kin and receive this funds as inheritance claim for the benefit of both parties. All documentation required to perfect this will be in place once you indicate your acceptance. For your role in the transaction, you will keep 30% for yourself, 10% for taxation and preserve 60% for us.
If this proposal is OK and you wish to take advantage of the trust we bestow on you . Kindly get back to me immediately furnishing me with your most confidential Telephone and Fax numbers so that I can forward to you the details of this transaction.
Please note that your positive or negative response will be apprieciated to enable us know the way forward. Also treat as urgent.
Thank you and God bless.
Regards,
DR.OLUSHEGUN COLE.
