FROM THE DESK OF MR. DAVID
MBA.
UNIVERSAL TRUST BANK NIG. PLC
BILLS AND TREASURY DEPARTMENT
30/32 CREEK ROAD APAPA
LAGOS - NIGERIA.
Dear Good Friend,
With presumed reliance, let
me introduce myself. I am MR. DAVID MBA, Manager Bills and
Treasury Department with the Universal Trust Bank of Nigeria
Plc. I got your contact over the Internet in my search for
the relatives of one of our numerous customers who died
accidentally alongside with his family.During our routine
check in my branch, I discovered an abandoned sum of ($8.4M
USD) Eight Million, Four hundred thousand United States
Dollars in an account belonging to one of our foreign customers
Mr. Jimmy Benson an expatriate that was working with one
of the leading Oil Company in Nigeria before his accidental
death alongside with his entire family on Saturday 4th May
2002 via the ill-fated EAS Airline Crash. This incident
was highly publicized. You may visit the following websites
to confirm this incident.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1968300.stm

Ever since then, several
attempts have been made to locate his relatives without
success. So far, valuable efforts has been made to get to
his people but to no avail, as he had no known relatives.
More because he left his next of kin column in his account
opening forms blank. I have been expecting his relatives
or next of kin to come over and claim his money because
it cannot be claimed unless somebody applies officially
for it as his next of kin as indicated in our banking guide.
Unfortunately, I discovered that all his supposed next of
kin (his wife and children) died with him over the plane
crash incident. Over the years, I decided to look for the
necessary papers relating to the deposit in order to make
business out of it as the deposit was made in my branch.
Now that all papers are ready, I am asking for your assistant
to release the money to you as his relation/next of kin
for safekeeping and subsequent disbursement. I know that
a transaction of this magnitude will make ! any one worried
and apprehensive but I am assuring you not to worry, as
all will be well at the end of this endeavor. Arrangements
have been perfected for a smooth operation.
Since nobody showed up for
his money and I don't want it to go back into Federal Government
account as unclaimed bill when the next audit is conducted.
The banking law and guideline here stipulates that such
money if remain unclaimed after, will be transferred into
banking treasury as unclaimed effect. The request of a foreigner
to act as next of kin in this business is occasioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Nigerian
cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. You are most
qualified in this transaction. I am ready to negotiate the
mode of sharing with you. I will visit your country for
the disbursement/investing of my share according to the
percentages we agreed upon after the transfer of the money
to your account.
I will not fail to bring
to your notice that this transaction is 100% hitch-free
and that there is absolutely no risk at all in this as I
have concluded the modalities for a smooth operation and
my position guarantees its successful execution. All I require
is your honest co-operation, a guarantee of your sincerity
and capability to enable us conclude this deal. Due to the
sensitive nature of this transaction, I advice that you
maintain absolute confidentiality while it lasts.Trusting
to hear from you immediately,
Yours Sincerely,
MR. DAVID MBA.
