MR TUNDE WILLIAMS
ACCOUNT OFFICIAL OF INTER-CONTINENTAL BANK PLC
P.H:
234-1-723-6792



Hello Nguyen,

With due respect, trust and humility,
I write you this proposal believing that it will receive the most
desired attention from you even as we have not had any previous
correspondence, Although, I am constrained by insufficient information
about you, but I will express in full the main objectives of this
proposal.

My name is Mr.Tunde Williams I work in the credit and
accounts department of Inter-continental Bank of Nigeria Plc,Lagos,
Nigeria. I write you in respect of a foreign customer with our bank,
before his sudden death. His name is Mr.Alam A. Nguyen, He was among
those who died in a plane crash here in Nigeria in the year 2002 May
4th. Sir,since the demise of this our customer, Mr.Alam A. Nguyen, who
was an oil Merchant/contractor, I have kept a close watch of the
deposit records and accounts and since then no body has come to claim
the money in this a/c as next of kin to the late Engineer He had only
$9.5mllion in his a/c and the a/c is coded. It is only an insider that
could produce the code or password of the Deposit particulars. As it
stands now, there is nobody in that position to produce the needed
information other than my very self considering my position in the bank
as his account officer.Based on the reason that nobody has come forward
to claim the deposit as next of kin,I hereby ask for your cooperation
in using your name as the next of kin to the deceased to send these
funds out to a foreign offshore bank a/c for mutual sharing between
myself and you.

At this point I am the only one with the information
because I have removed the deposit file from the safe. By this doing,
what is required of you is to send an application laying claims of the
deposit as next of kin to the deceased officially to the director of
our bank., I am asking for your assistant to release the money to you
as his relation/next of kin for safekeeping and subsequent
disbursement. I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any
one apprehensive but I am assuring you of the security of us all as
modalitieshave been perfected for a swift and smooth operation.

You
are being contacted because you share the same name with the deceased.
Since nobody showed up for his money and I don't want it to go back
into Federal Government account as unclaimed bill when the next audit
is conducted. The banking law and guideline here stipulates that such
money if remain unclaimed, will be transferred into banking treasury as
unclaimed effect. The request of a foreigner to act as next of kin in
this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a
foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand asnext of kin to a foreigner. You
are most qualified in this transaction as you share the same name with
the deceased. I am ready to negotiate the mode of sharing with you. I
will visit your country for the disbursement/investing of my share
according to the percentages we shall agree upon after the successful
transfer of the money to your account.

I will not fail to bring to
your notice that this transaction is 100% hitch-free and that there is
absolutely no risk in it, having concluded the modalities for a smooth
operation and my position in the bank guarantees its successful
execution. All I require is your honest co-operation, a guarantee of
your sincerity and capability to enable us conclude this deal. Note
however that the sensitive nature of this transaction demands that you
have to keep it absolutely confidential.

I will need your full name
and address,telephone and fax number for the processing of the transfer
in your name and favour. Finally i want you to understand that the
request for a foreigneras the next of kin is Occassioned by the fact
that the customer was a foreigner and for that reason alone a Nigerian
cannot represent as next of kin. When you contact me,then we shall
discuss on how the money will be split between us. Trusting to hear
from you,

I remain Respectfully yours

Answer 1

My sister got an email like this once. She was to give this person her banking information etc. so they could "direct deposit" the money. However, she wrote them back and let them have it about it being illegal and all and that she was going to turn them in etc. Needless to say she never got another email from them again. And the person who had died and left all of this money behind had the same last name as her but there was no relation what so ever.



It's a scam, I would just ignore them.

Answer 2

I have made it a point to say something nice and supportive to everyone I see, strangers included. I appreciate the differences in people and I like to compliment them when they put out some effort. I got to see it and I am grateful. I'd like to think that I cheered someone and that makes me feel good for them and me. So, giving is really receiving. This is so habitual and natural that there is no hypocrisy in it. Thank you. Good question. C. :)!!

Answer 3

I can deal with the fact that you may or may not be computer or technology savvy, but you should read the news. This has been all over it as a scam.
