PLEASE EXERCISE SOME PATIENCE AND READ THROUGH THIS DETAILED MESSAGE I am CHIBU EZE Account officer of one of the Banks in Lagos. For reason , which will come to light as you read on. I have a very urgent and confidential business proposition for you . On December 6th 1997 an oil consultant with the Nigerian National Corporation , Mr. Ahmed Youseff Mustapha, an Iraqi National, made a numbered time / fixed for 12 Calendar months, valued US$10 million in my branch . On maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month we sent a reminder and finally, his contract employers, the NNPC, wrote to inform us that Mr. A.Y Youseff died in an automobile accident while travelling to the eastern part of the country. That he died without making a WILL while all attempts to trace his KIN in Iraq and inform them about Mr. . Mustapha's deposit of US10million plus accrued interest were fruitless. Further investigation revealed that Mr.Youseff was actively opposed to the Government of president Saddam Hussein of Iraq as a result of which he was driven into exile. Being an oil expert, he subsequently obtained a job with NNPC, and settled in Nigeria. Thereafter, he walked into my office to make the aforementioned deposit of US$10million. He did not declare his KIN in his application paperwork. When I asked, he informed me that he wished it so. In the conservative manner of our Bank (my employer), I did not turn down his wish but rather honored it especially given his high net worth. In reality no one knows the source of his money since apparently, the time frame of his employment with the NNPC does indeed preclude such a large amount of money. It is therefore presumed that he brought his money from Iraqi, although this is open to speculation. The point however is that his employers are not aware of his money, therefore one can safely infer that no one will ever come forward to claim this money. This fund, totaling US10M, with accrue interest, is still siting in my bank dormant account portfolio. According to Nigerian law, the money will automatically revert to the federal Government Treasury after five years, especially if the account owner is a foreigner who has been certified dead and there is no valid claim. I am thus looking for a foreigner who will stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Youseff. It is not necessary to be a blood relation, neither is it necessary to bear the same saw name with Mr. Youseff .It is even not important for the stand in next of kin to be an Iraqi national. Already I have worked out modalities for achieving my aim of appointing a next of kin as well as transfer the money abroad for us to share. Apparently no risk involved ! I will process the initial paperwork to obtain approval from the concern parastatal / department . If you therefore agree to be the INHERITOR / NEXT OF KIN you should provide immediately with the following 1. A bank Account ( an account with zero credit balance is okay . 2. The complete name and address of the bank , holder/Beneficiary , your phone and fax number Once I have the required information as above, I will initiate the processing of the transfer, and in about 10 working days, the fund will be in your nominated bank account for us to share in the ratio of : 70% for me and 30% for you . This transaction is guaranteed to succeed without any problems. And I shall forward to you more clarification you need and you are free to ask questions Looking forward to your urgent reply Your truly, CHIBU EZE
