[gfsd]Sir. Emmergency! Respond Immediately!!

[OVIA JIM]

Sir,

Compliments of the day! I got your contact on my private search for a reliable 
and trusted person to handle a transaction of this nature. I know that the 
contents of the mail might sound so strange, but I want to assure you that 
every word of it is true.

 I am the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Zenith Bank 
International Plc. We had a customer, a Foreigner (Swedish) resident in 
Nigeria. He was a contractor to one of the government parastatals. He has in 
his account with my bank the sum of US$23.5M.

Unfortunately, the man died a year ago and has been buried. Our banking law 
implies that upon the death of a customer, all deposit of the customer shall be 
transferred to his nearest next of kin. It was however, surprising to us that 
since his death, no one has come to claim his fund as his next of kin. We have 
equally made several attempts to locate any possible next of kin to the man, 
but to no avail. Until today, the fund still remain unclaimed.

Consequently, I want to inform you that since the funds have remained 
unclaimed, it is my intention to retrieve the money. But due to our banking 
policy, I cannot personally retrieve the money as I occupy a high position in 
the banking industry. I Mr. Jim Ovia, MD/CEO was conferred with the National 
Honor of Member of the Order the Federal Republic[MFR} by the Federal 
Government of Nigeria. This award is an affirmation of my high level of 
professionalism and ethical standard, as well as my other contributions to the 
society at large. So an attempt by me to retrieve the funds personally will be 
a serious jeopardy of my integrity in office as everybody and the government 
has held me to a high esteem, as evident in the MFR award recently conferred on 
me.

 Having noticed this, I in collaboration with another top executive of the 
bank, Mr. Godwin Emefiele who was recently elevated to the position of Deputy 
Managing Director have perfectly covered up the account till this moment 
otherwise it would have been frozen.

Our intention now is to front you as the next of kin to the deceased customer 
so that the money will be paid to you. We will use our position, authority and 
influence in the bank to actualize this, getting all necessary internal and 
external documentation to back up your being fronted as the next of kin. This 
is therefore assuring you that there is no risk whatsoever involved in this 
transaction.

What we need now is your response of your interest to participate. Thereafter 
we will furnish you with the details of the procedure. As soon as you receive 
this message, kindly get back to me indicating your interest, them I will 
furnish you with the whole procedure to ensure you that this deal is 
successfully concluded.

For your assistance, we have agreed to give you 20 percent of the total sum.

Time is of great essence to us in this transaction; hence you are expected to 
get back to us immediately on your participation so that we can move ahead. In 
the case you decide not to participate, we solicit that you equally get back to 
us to save us time so that can contact another person.

Considering, the nature of this transaction and our position in office we ask 
that you try to keep this transaction secret between only us.

I await your response.

Regards,

Mr. Jim Ovia.
MD/CEO Zenith Bank International
