Mr. James
Crown Merchant Bank PLC.
Lagos - NIGERIA.
ATTENTION: President/CEO
Dear president/CEO,
BUSINESS DEAL INVOLVING US$25 MILLION DOLLARS
IN SUMMARY:- of the 25,000,000.00 (twenty - five million) U.S. Dollars,
I agree to give you 4,000,000.00 (four million) U.S. Dollars for your
assistance, kindness and participation in the project.
I am Mr James, an Accounts Officer with Crown Merchant Bank PLC. I
have an urgent and very confidential business proposal for you.
On October 10, 1998, a Canadian Oil consultant/contractor with Shell
Petroleum Development Company Ltd., Mr. James Winber made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$25,000,000.00 (Twenty- five Million Dollars) in my Bank. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, I sent a reminder and finally I found out from his contract employer - Shell Petroleum Development Company that Mr. James Winber died in an automobile accident. On further
investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL and all
attempts to trace his NEXT OF KIN was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. James
Winber did not declare any NEXT OF KIN or relations in all his official
documents including his Bank Deposit papers in my Bank. This sum of
US$25,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one has ever come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
Consequently, my proposal is that:
1. I want you to STAND IN as the NEXT OF KIN of Late James Winber so
that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt Government officials. This is safe and simple. And Of the 25 million U.S. dollars, I agree to give you for your assistance, kindness and participation, four million (4,000,000.00) U.S. dollars.
2. I want you to provide immediately a Bank Account in any part of the
world (either personal or company Account) to receive the funds.
3. I want you to immediately provide your full Names, and Address to
prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will name you as the NEXT OF KIN. I shall employ the services of an Attorney for the drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favour to MAKE EASY the transfer of the aforementioned sum of Twenty - Five Million (25,000,000.00) U. S. Dollars into your Account.
Be rest assured that all modalities has been worked out for the
successful transfer of the funds to your provided Bank Account within the next seven (7) - Ten (10) working days with the funds confirmed irrevocably in your Account.
All the paper work for this project will be done by an Attorney and my
position as the Accounts Officer guarantees the successful completion of this business deal. Kindly expedite action and contact me via e-mail if the proposal is acceptable to you. Otherwise, I expect you to re-send the proposal back to me and urge you not to disclose this to anyone. Where you refuse assistance in this matter, Please treat as if you were never contacted.
You must note that this Project is subject to the following conditions:
1. That you would treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality.
2. That the funds would be lodged in an account where
the incidence of taxation would not exert a heavy toll.
3. My conviction of your transparent honesty and trustworthiness.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU MAINTAIN ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY
THROUGHOUT THIS PROJECT AND BE REST ASSURED THAT THIS WOULD BE A VERY PROFITABLE VENTURE.
MY ASSURANCE IS THAT YOUR ROLE IS 100% RISK FREE AND I HAVE MADE THE
ARRANGEMENTS TO RETRIEVE ALL THE DOCUMENTS USED FOR THE TRANSACTION AS SOON AS THE FUNDS ARRIVE YOUR BANK ACCOUNT SO THAT THERE WILL BE NO TRACE THAT YOU ASSISTED IN RECEIVING AND KEEPING THE MONEY.
I hope you will move swiftly at this OPPORTUNITY. Kindly treat as very
important.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Best Regards,
James Ota
