Dear Sir; My name is Elfrida Bongo, I am the Group Managing Director of Commerce Bank Limited. I contact you in order to intimate you with a certain state of affairs that I am sure will inspire your interest. On the 5th September 2000 , I received a notice from the administrative department of my bank informing me of the death of one of our customers. The late man was an American businessman his name is Frederick Wiseman III. Mr. Wiseman was a very visible businessman known to many of us, he has been a customer of my bank for over 2 decades and he has lived in Africa for over 5 decades. Upon receipt of the news of Mr. Wiseman's death, I initiated the normal procedures which included the notification of his next of kin to inform them of his demise. To my surprise, he nominated no next of kin. Not knowing what next steps to pursue, I put the file in abeyance until such a time as somebody comes forward to lay claim to that status of next of kin. Last September makes it exactly a year since Mr. Wiseman's death. Nobody has still come forward. All my multifaceted investigations have revealed the same conclusion; Mr. Wiseman died with no family ties. Sir, I inform you that Mr. Wiseman had a balance of $30 million dollars in his domiciliary account at my bank. I contact you because I feel that we should work together and see ways we can profit from this most bizarre situation. My banks standard procedure under such a situation is to turn the money over to the authorities. If you are aware of the sociopolitical realities of Nigeria, you will know that there are no set of people more corrupt than the government officials themselves. If I turn this money over to them, it will surely end up in their private bank accounts. Rather than turn the money in, I have decided to keep it for myself. If you are ready to work with me, what I propose is as follows; 1-I will nominate you as the next of kin 2-I will direct that the funds be paid out to you. Understand that I am the paramount administrative office of this bank and my directives have immediate effect. Once we are of one accord, I will have your name and address placed as that of the next of kin and I will commence the process. Mr. Wiseman operated his account in a branch of my bank under the management of a European gentleman, Mr. Schwechter, I have spoken with him and he has expressed preparedness to co-operate with me only if I accept the responsibility of securing the cooperation of the person who is to stand as next of kin. For your cooperation all three of us will share the money equally. I can assure you that this is a straight forward business and I can have it wrapped up in a weeks time. If you find yourself interested in this project, then please contact me for further information of [EMAIL PROTECTED] or you man contact Mr. Martin Schwechter at [EMAIL PROTECTED] .Mr. Schwechter speaks French , German and English. He is a most agreeable man and I am sure he will be able to explain further details to you. Please consider this offer and let me know what your thinking is. Thank you.
Mrs. Elfrida Bongo
