jacksonmadu@consultant.com Subject: Request for next of kinopportunity for you Dear Sir, I am the Manager Bill Exchange of the Foreign Remittance Department Of Union Bank plc. I am writing folowing the impressive information about you through one of my friends who runs a consultancy firm in your country. He assured me of your capability and reliability to champion this opportunity. In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of USD 16 million Dollars (sixteen million US Dollars) in account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in July 2002 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 can not release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guide lines and laws but unfortunately we learnt that his supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my department now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since Nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the Bank's treasury as unclaimed. The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after four years, the money will be tranfered into the Bank's treasury as unclaimed fund. The request for a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an indegine can not stand as next of kin to this family. We agreed that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incured during the business and 60 % would be for me and my colleagues. There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the Bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased , your private, telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication.The money will be paid in Draft to be cashed in any part of the world. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter through my private email address at jacksonmadu@consultant.com. Trusting to hear from you immeidately. Yours faithfully, Dr Jackson Madu
