Message: | Dear Friend, Pls i am in need of your assistant. I am Mrs.Owen Jane an account Auditor of Assurance Bank Of Nig Ltd,Lagos Branch office. There is this Engineer Grey A. Mark, a National of your country, who had an account with us and he worked with an Oil servicing Firm in Nigeria. He died on a plane clash. Since then I have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my customer extended Relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. I am contacting you so that you can assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my customer before they Get confiscated or declared unserviceable by my bank . Particularly my Bank Manager is yet ignorant of this said amount because i am the one handling this customer`s for the past six (6) years before his death. The deceased had an account Valued at about ($25 million U.S Dollars) in this bank .Now i find out that if the bank manager comes to understand this floating fund which i kept secret since some years back they will issued me a notice of dismiss so i decided to keep this very secret from my colleague in the bank so that the secret will not be reveal to the bank manager or to the management.Now i want you to come in as the next of kin,but please you should not betray me and run away after the fund has been transfer to your account before my physical arrival to meet with you for the disbursement. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so that this account valued at ($25 million U.S Dollars) can be paid to you .The sharing modality is still open and negotiatable.All i require is your honest cooperation to enable me see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and me from any breach of the law. I am the one that will handle all the expenses during this transaction until the fund get credited to your bank account in your country.I will provide you with the TEXT APPLICATION FORM as soon as i heard from you.
Rgd, Mrs Owen Jane. Account auditor www.assurancebank.com I wonder how many people still fall for these sort of things.... |
