Attn: Nords,
REQUEST FOR YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE.
I am Barrister Anthony K. Steven,the principal partner of the above named
law firm.We are based here in Lagos-Nigeria.Our office address is situated
at the above mentioned address.The purpose of writing you this message is to
ask for your hand in a business proposal that will be of immense financial
benefits to both of us on conclusion.
In confidence I had a foreign client named Engr. Mathew B. Nords,a
petro-chemical engineer with the Nigerian Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) based
here in Lagos-Nieria.He was a very rich contractor and I was covering his
dealings.Unfortunately, on the 20th of August 2001, he was involved in a
fatal auto accident with all the members of his family.Non survived the
mis-hap.This was completely a sad ncident.However,before this unfortunate
incident,he had made a fixed deposit of Ten Million United States Dollars
with a commercial bank here.This bank has written me severally to produce
his supposed next-of-kin to come for the claims of this money as the
beneficiary.I have equally made enquiries through all the foreign embassies
here to try to locate any of his relatives for this payment but have not
succeeded in all my attempts.The bank is ready to
confiscate this money as it has been dormant since the account was opened on
the 28th of April,2000.The banking laws here stipulate that any account that
stays dormant for 5 years without any proven transaction within the
stipulated period will cathegorised be "Unserviceable" and thereby
declared
abandoned and will be subsequently confiscated as it backed by the law of
the Abandoned Decree Act of 1999 of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria.This
money at this point in time stands the risk of confiscation by the 28th of
next month,barely some weeks from now.
My proposal to you therefore,is that I want to present you to the bank for
this payment and we share the money as ollows: 40% for you and 40% for me.
10% will be donated to charity and the last 10% will cover any expenses we
shall have to make in order to fulfil the bank's requirements for this money
to be transfered to your receiving bank account in your country.You will
bank my share in your account for purposes of private investment in Real
Estate Business in your country through your direction and guidance.
This is urgent and I will let you have the details on your immediate
response.This should be handled in an absolutely confidential manner to
avoid any doubts by the bank as I will present you as the rightful
bona-fide beneficiary to the deceased's fund since you have the same
sur-name with the deceased.This will be honoured since I shall immediately
make available to
the bank,the necessary claim-substantiating documents that I have to back-up
this claim in your favour.
I look forward to your quick response and sincere cooperation.
Yours sincerely,
BARRISTER ANTHONY K. STEVEN.
