I am Mr.Chukwu Charles, the bills and exchange Director at the UNION BANK NIGERIA PLC, I am writing this letter to solicit for support and assistance from you to carry out this business opportunity in my department. Lying in an inactive account is the sum of belonging to a foreign customer (Mr.TENNEY LEE) who happens to be deceased. He died with his wife and two children in a plane crash on Board An ADC Airline Flight at the Egirin River Lagos Nigeria in November 1997. Ever since he died the Bank has been expecting his next of kin to come and claim these fund. To this effect, we cannot release the money unless someone applies for it as the next of kin, as indicated in our Banking Guideline. Unfortunately he has no family member here in Nigeia or Europe who are aware of the existence of the money (as he was a contractor with the Federal Republic of Nigeria). At this juncture I have decided to do business with Bank, to this effect we solicit your assistance, in applying as the next of kin, then the money will be released to you, as we do not want this money to go into the Bank Treasury as an unclaimed bill. The Banking law and guideline stipulate that if such money remains unclaimed for a period of five years the money will be transfered into the Banks Treasury as unclaimed bill. Our request for a Foreigner as a next of kin is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a Foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand as next of kin. Sir, 20% of the money will be your share as a Foreign partner, while 5% will be for any expenses incured during the transaction, thereafter we would visit your country once the money hits your account for disbursement and investment. To effect the immediate transfer of the fund to you as agreed, you must apply first to the Bank as the next of kin to the deceased, indicating your Bank and Bank Accound Number, and location where the money will be remitted to, then we will follow up all formalities for the transaction. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you, the text of the application, as soon as you receive the text, I will further clarify you in other issues as to affect the business. Await to hear from you.
Best regards, Mr.Chukwu Charles Pleaes send your phone and fax immediately for oral discussion.
