ATTENTION PLEASE
Dear Friend,
Before I introduce myself and my purpose of contacting you let me first appeal to you, to kindly read
the content of this letter with kind attention.
I am Mr. Donald Lekota, a banker.
I am the eastern manager of United Bank of Africa Plc (U.B.A), Abuja branch Nigeria.
I want to transfer out $USD 26 million
( TWENTY SIX MILLION U.S DOLLARS) from our bank.
I have the courage to look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable for this important business,believing that you will never let me down either now or in future.
There is an account opened in this bank in 1980 and since 1990 nobody have operated on this account
again,after going through some old files in the records I discovered
that if I do not remitte this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account is Engr. Jack Hamilton
,
he is a foreigner and the manager of petrol chemical service,a chemical Engineer by proffession and he
died since 1990, and since then no other person knows about this account or anything concerning it.secondly
he did not clearify his next of kin in his deposition form when
he deposited this fund in our bank.The account has no
other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that his company does not know anything about this
account and the amount involved is
(U.S.$26,000,000.00)
I want to tranfer this money into a safe foreign account abroad but i don't know any foreigner,I am contacting you
as a foreigner because this money can not be approved to any local bank here but can only be approved to a foreign
account because the money is in u.s dollars and the former owner of the account (ENGR. JACK HAMILTON) is a
foreigner
too.
I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as we don't know ourself before,but be sure that it
is real and a genuine business.
I believe in god that you will never
let me down in this business,you are the only person that i
have contacted for this business for now,so
please reply
urgently so that we can receive this money into a
foreign
account or any account of your choice where the
fund will
be remmited.
I am contacting you because of the need to
involve a
foreigner with a foreign account as the real
beneficiary,I
need your co-operation to make this work
fine,because the
management of our bank is ready to approve this
payment to
any foreigner who has the correct information to
this
account which i will give to you when sure of
your
capability to handle such amount with instrict
confidence
and trust,and according to my instructions and my
advice
for our mutual benefit because I don't want to
make any
mistake. I need your strong assurance and trust,
I shall
also destroy all documents concerning this
transactions
immidiately we received this money in your
account
leaving no trace to any place. I will use my
position and
influence on other staffs to effect legal
approvals and
onward transfer of this money to your account
with
appropriate clearance from foreign payment
department,with
assurance that this money will be intact pending
my
physical arrival in your country for the sharing
and other
investment.
Finally,at the conclusion of this business,I will
give you
25% of the total amount,70% will be for me ,while
5% will
be for expenses both parties might have incured
during the
process of this transaction.Please try and
negotiate for me
some profitable blue chip investment
opportunities which is
risk free which I can invest with this money when
it is
transferred to your account and I am interested
in estate
management and hotel business,
please advise me.
Yours Truly,
Mr. Donald Lekota
