DEAR SIR,
I AM THE DIRECTOR OF BILLS AND EXCHANGE AT THE FOREIGN
REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT OF AFRICAN CONTINENTAL BANK
PLC.
I AM WRITING FOLLOWING THE IMPRESSIVE INFORMATION
ABOUT YOU THROUGH ONE OF MY FRIENDS WHO RUNS A
CONSULTANCY FIRM UNDER AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
AND INDUSTRY. HE ASSURED ME OF YOUR CAPABILITY AND
RELIABILITY TO CHAMPION THIS BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.
IN MY DEPARTMENT WE DISCOVERED AN ABANDONED SUM OF
US$15.5M (FIFTEEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED
STATES DOLLARS ONLY) IN AN ACCOUNT THAT BELONGS TO ONE
OF OUR FOREIGN CUSTOMERS WHO DIED ALONG WITH HIS
ENTIRE FAMILY IN NOVEMBER 1998 IN A 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.
UNFORTUNATELY WE LEARNT THAT ALL HIS SUPPOSED NEXT OF
KIN OR RELATIONS DIED ALONG WITH HIM AT THE PLANE
CRASH LEAVING NOBODY BEHIND FOR THE CLAIM.
IT IS THEREFORE UPON THIS DISCOVERY THAT I AND ONE OF
THE OFFICIALS IN THE DEPARTMENT NOW DECIDED TO MAKE
BUSINESS WITH YOU AND RELEASED THE MONEY TO YOU AS THE
NEXT OF KIN OR RELATIONS OF THE DECEASED FOR SAFETY
AND SUBSEQUENT DISBURSEMENT SINCE NOBODY IS COMING FOR
IT AND WE DON?T WANT THIS MONEY TO GO DISBURSEMENT
ACCOUNT AS UNCLAIMED BILL.
THE BANKING LAW AND GUIDELINES HERE STIPULATED THAT IF
SUCH MONEY REMAINED UNCLAIMED AFTER FOUR YEARS THE
MONEY WILL BE TRANSFERRED INTO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
ACCOUNT AS UNCLAIMED FUND. THE REQUEST OF A FOREIGNER
AS NEXT OF KIN IN THIS BUSINESS IS OCCASIONED BY THE
FACT THAT THE CUSTOMERS WAS A FOREIGNER AND A NIGERIAN
CANNOT STAND AS NEXT OF KIN TO A FOREIGNER.
WE AGREE THAT 30% OF THIS MONEY WILL BE FOR YOU AS
FOREIGN PARTNER AND 10% FOR EXPENSES INCURRED DURING
THE COURSE OF REMITTANCE. THEREAFTER TO THE
PERCENTAGES INDICATED.
THEREFORE TO ENABLE THE IMMEDIATE TRANSFER OF THE FUND
TO YOU AS ARRANGED. YOU MUST APPLY FIRST TO THE BANK
AS A RELATION OR NEXT OF KIN OF THE DECEASED
INDICATING YOUR BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER AND LOCATION WHERE
IN THE MONEY WILL BE REMITTED . UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR
REPLY I WILL SEND TO YOU THE TEXT OF THE APPLICATION.
AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE THIS LETTER, YOU SHOULD CONTACT
ME IMMEDIATELY AND INDICATE YOUR DIRECT AND
CONFIDENTIAL TELEPHONE/FAX NUMBERS FOR THE EFFECTIVE
COMMUNICATION REQUIRED.
TRUSTING TO HEAR FORM YOU IMMEDIATELY.
YOURS FAITHFULLY,
DR.FERDINAND AGU
