Dear Sir,
It is my humble pleasure to write this letter irrespective of the
fact that you do not know me. However, I came to know of you in my
private search for a reliable and trustworthy person that can
handle a confidential transaction of this nature in respect to
our investment plans in real estate. Though I know that a
transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and
worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of
the day.
Let me start by first, introducing myself properly to you. I am
Richard Obule, a Branch Manager at one of the Zenith Commercial Bank
Nigeria Plc, Lagos.
A foreigner, Late Nicholas Owen, a Civil Engineer/Contractor with the
federal Government of Nigeria, until his death three years ago in a
ghastly air crash, banked with us here at the Zenith Commercial Bank
PLC, Lagos. He had a closing balance of USD$25.5M (Twenty five
Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) which the bank
now unquestionably expects to be claimed by any of his available
foreign next of kin. Or, alternatively be donated to a discredited
trust fund for arms and ammunition at a military war college here in
Nigeria.
Fervent valuable efforts made by the Zenith Bank to get in
touch with any of late Nicholas Owen’s next of kin (he had no known
wife and children) has been unsuccessful. The management under the
influence of our chairman and board of directors, are making
arrangement for the fund to be declared "UNCLAIMABLE " and then be
subsequently donated to the trust fund for Arms and Ammunition which
will further enhance the course of war in Africa and the world in
general.
In order to avert this negative development. Myself and some of my
trusted colleagues in the bank, now seek for your permission to have
you stand as late Nicholas Owen’s next of kin. So that the fund
(USD$25.5M), would be subsequently transferred and paid into your bank
account as the beneficiary next of kin through our overseas
corresponding bank. All documents and proves to enable you get this
fund have been carefully worked out and we are assuring you a 100%
risk free involvement. Your share would be 30% of the total
amount. While the rest would be for me and my colleagues for purchase
of properties in your country through you/your Company.
If this proposal is OK by you, then kindly get to me immediately via
my e-mail furnishing me with your most confidential telephone, fax and
e-mail, so I can forward to you the relevant details of this
transaction.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation.
Best Regards.
MR, RICHARD OBULE
Branch Manager,
Zenith Comm. Bank Plc
