FROM THE DESK OF: DR, SANNI YUSUF
TREASURY CONTROLLER UNION BANK OF NIGERIA PLC.
Sir
I am Dr. SANNI YUSUF, treasury controller Union Bank of
Nigeria plc. I have very strict and confidential discussion to make
with you. On the 3rd June 1996 an American Oil Consultant/Contractor
with Shell Petroleum Nigeria Plc, in the name of Engr. Michael Watson
made a numbered time (fixed) deposit for twelve calendar months
valued at US$10.5million dollars in our branch here in Lagos. On
maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address,
but got no reply. After a month, we sent him a reminder and finally
his contract employers, the Shell Petroleum Nigeria Plc, wrote to us
that Engr. Michael Watson died in an automobile accident and that he
died without MAKING A WILL and all attempts by the American Embassy
to trace his next of kin were fruitless.
I therefore, made further investigation and discovered that Engr.
Michael Watson was infect an immigrant from Papua New Guinea and only
obtained an American green card. He did not declare any kin or
relations in all his official documents, including his deposit paper
work in our Bank. The total amount of US$10.5million dollars is still
sitting in our bank as dormant account, no one will ever come forward
to claim it and according to the Law of Nigeria after ten years the
money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government IF THE
ACCOUNT OWNER IS CERTIFIED DEAD.
This is the situation and our proposal to you is that we are looking
for a trustworthy and humble foreigner who will stand in as the NEXT
OF KIN. All you need to do is to provide me with:
1. A fresh bank account
2. Name of account holder/beneficiary
3. Your personal address phones and fax numbers.
4 After you might have sent all this particulars, I will then
arrange all the proper money transfer paper work immediately.
This whole amount of money valued at the tone of US$10.5million
dollars will be shared thus:
1. 30% will be yours as the beneficiary of the account
2. 60% will be for we the origenators
3.10% will be for expenses
Be rest assured that the caliber of people involved are men of honor
and they also have their dignity to uphold.
We are looking forward to hear from you soonest
Best regards
DR, SANNI YUSUF.
CREDIT CONTROLLER UNION BANK OF NIGERIA PLC.
