electriclandOoh! Ooh! It's my first ever Nigerian Email Scam email! I was feeling all left out before.
Poor, poor Mrs. Ann Parker, dead in a ghastly automobile accident and no next of kin! No will! No nothing!
It's such a tragic story, in fact, that I find I can't comply with Mr. Steve Nwa's request to observe utmost confidentiality in the matter. Bad, bad, untrustworthy me.
Urgent Request.
Safe Trust Bank of Nigeria.
From Mr.STEVE NWA
Attn: Sir/Madam.
My Name is Mr.STEVE NWA. I am the Bank Manager of Safe Trust Bank of Nigeria,
Lagos Branch. I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for
you.On December 8, 1999, an American Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation, Mrs. Ann Parker. made a numbered time (Fixed)
Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$14.6,000,000.00(Fourteen
Million, Six Hundred thousand Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a
routine notification to her forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from her contract
employers, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that Mrs. Ann Parker.
died from a ghastly automobile accident.
On further investigation, I found out that she died without making a WILL, and
all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that Mrs. Ann Parker. did not declare any next of
kin or relations in all her official documents, including her Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$14.6,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank
and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each
year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian Law, at
the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the
Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim this fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as
the next of kin toMrs. Ann Parker. so that the fruits of this woman's labuor
will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and
address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits
which will put youin place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the services of two Attorneys for drafting and notarization of
the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/
administration in your favour for the transfer. We would need you as a Foreigner
acting as the next of kin and sole benefactor to the inheritance of Mrs. Ann
Parker. to travel and claim this money in a SECURITY COMPANY based in Europe
which is used by my bank as an offshore payment center to the bank. The money
will be paid to you for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 30% for you
then 10% for any expensee that may come up. There is no risk at all as all the
paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and my position as
the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If
you are interested, please reply immediately. Upon your response, I shall then
provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you
understand the transaction.Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest
assuredthat this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I
shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply
Thanks and regards.
