Subject: You as Next of Kin
—
Good Day to You,
I am Matt Iwe, a Manager of Foreign Account Department in a bank. I have a
very urgent and confidential business proposition of mutual benefit.
On 6th of March 2001, a customer, (late) William Biggart, an American
national and oil merchant/contractor with the Federal Government of
Nigeria, deposited, a valued amount of US$32Million in our branch and upon
maturity, our bank sent a routine notification to his forwarded address but
got no response. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we
discovered from his contract employers NNPC that late William Biggart lost
his life to the ghastly terrorist attack to American Airlines Flight 11,
from Boston to Los Angeles, which crashed into the North Tower of the World
Trade Center (WTC) with 86 people on board. All occupant of the Aeroplane
unfortunately lost their lives.
On further Investigation, I discovered that late William Biggart till his
death nineteen years ago did not declare a next of kin in all his official
documents, neither did he leave a WILL. The US$32Million is floating in the
bank and no one will come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian law,
if nobody applies to claim the asset within twenty years, the ownership of
the estate will be reverted to the Federal Government of Nigeria, hence, my
proposal that you as a foreigner stand in as the next of kin of late
Williams Biggart. It is simple; all I require is your honesty and
co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that the
transaction will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect
you and I from any breach of the law.
I will want you to send to me on your return email the following
information.
1. Your full names as the Beneficiary of the Fund.
2. Your contact address.
3. Your private phone number.
And let us consider our ratio of sharing to be 50:50, thus; I as the
originator of the fund will get 50% and YOU as Manager of the fund will as
well get 50% of the transferable fund.
Send your reply to this email <[email protected]> as soon as you get
this mail and decide to work with me on this project to enable us discuss
on the modalities for success of this transaction.
Thanks for your anticipated cooperation and understanding. I await for your
kind response.
Best regards.
Matt Iwe.
