The African crooks certainly do have fantasy. Kofi Annan sends me a message from the Nigerian Union Bank using a Yahoo email account.

They also claim that unionbanknigplc95@ymail.com is the banks official e-mail address.

As you can see, once again they use the United Nations and the former Secretary Kofi Annan, to try and make a story sound plausible.

They never do. You just have to look closer at what they write and use your common sense.

I like the slogan at the end:

Making the world a better place

Here’s another abandoned, deceased or suspended account just waiting for you to claim it.

Reading the CNN report quoted in this message you will see that there are actually no names of people published in the account. That obviously does away with having to actually write the e-mail about a specific person. This makes it easier to spin his tale.

I was very fortunate to came across the deceased file when I was arranging the old and abandoned customers files of 2003-2004 in other to submit to the bank managements accordingly for documentation purposes.It is clearly stated in our BANKING FOREIGN POLICY and signed lawfully that if such fund remains unclaimed by the NEXT OF KIN till the period of EIGHT(8) years starting from the date when the beneficiary died, the money will be transferred into the BANK TREASURY as an unclaimed fund.Besides,it is not authorized by the law guiding our bank for a citizen of Benin to make the claim of the fund.

So the request of you as a foreigner is necessary to apply for the claim and transfer of the fund smoothly into your reliable bank account as the NEXT OF KIN to the deceased.When the fund is transferred into your account,Thirty five PERCENT(35%) will be for you in an assistance and in provision of the bank account,%15 Is set aside for incured expences incured,while Fifty PERCENT (50%) will be for me.and my colleague.
