SCAM

[KingJohn]

YER Right !!

This is being sent out again !

Dear sir,

I am Tajudeen A. Datti the group head, Treasury
Deparment of foreign operations Department
Inland Bank of Nigeria.

I am writing following information I received from one
of my friends who run an information technology
consultancy firm. Although, I did not tell him the
details of the business I will want to do. In my
department, I discovered an abandoned sum of
US$5.5million (Five million, five hundred
thousand United States Dollars) in an account
belonging to one of our foreign customers who died
alongside with his entire family in November 1997
in a plane crash. Since I got the information
about his death, I have been expecting his next of kin
to come over and claim his money because it cannot be
claimed unless somebody applies as his next of kin as
indicated in our banking guide.

Unfortunately, I discovered that all his supposed next
of kin died with him over the plane crash inccident.
For over two years, I decided to look for the
necessary papers relating to the deposit in order to
make business out of it hence the deposit was made in
my branch. Now that all papers are ready, I am asking
for your assistant to release the money to you as next
of kin or relation to the deceased for safe keeping
and subsequent disbursement, hence nobody showed up
for it and I dont want this money to go back into
Federal Government account as unclaimed bill as soon
as the next audit is completed.

The banking law and guideline here stipulates that
such money if remain unclaim after two years of
maturity, it will be transferred into banking
treasury as unclaimed effect. The request of a
foreigner as next of kin in this business is
occasioned by the fact that the customer was a
foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand as a next of kin
to a foreigner. I am ready to negotiate the mode of
sharing with you. Thereafter I will visit your
country for the disbursement/investing of my share
according to the percentages we agreed upon. To enable
the immediate transfer of the fund, you must apply
first to the bank as next of kin to the deceased.

Note this transaction requires utmost confidentiality.
And I am assuring you that itis 100% risk free so you
need not be afraid.

I expect a positive response from you soonest.

Best regards,

Tajudeen A. Datti.
Group head, Treasury Department.

Did you know that this scam is nigeria's 3rd largest industry?

Can you believe that that many people have been scammed! The only reason they are cracking down is that many people have fallen victim and ended up dead or missing.

I would have to wonder where you have been hiding if you haven't seen or heard about this scam before.

My dad actually got one of those letters, before. We were looking through the mail at work and wondered who the hell would be writing to us, from Africa...

Actual its old news, but some people are still interested when these things starts up again. Hiding ?, dont think I have been hiding anywhere, Have you ?

Was you one of those who fell for it perhaps ? Sorry to hear that you you did.

I'd never seen this thing before... so it was a letter, not an e-mail.

1)selling illegal ivory
2)selling knock-off watches on the street

We received a letter. I'm sure they've taken advantage of the information age and started to use e-mail, though.
