Dear Sir
I am Mr.Tom Bello,Bank Manager of Owena bank ltd,Lagos Branch.I got
your contact from the world trade center (WTC) Regional office in
lagos,Nigeria.Although the details of my intention was not made known to
them.Actually,I listed your name amongst four other names & prayed over
them & decided to contact you directly.I have a very urgent & confidential
bussiness proposition for you & for our overall mutual interest. On june
6 1997,an American oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation Mr Barry Kelly made a numbered time(fixed)deposit
for twelve calendar months,valued at USD$25,000,000.00(twenty five million
dollars) in my branch.Upon maturity,i sent a routine notification
to his forwarded address but got no reply.After a month we sent a
reminder,& finally we discovered from his contract employers NNPC,that
Mr.Barry died in an automobile accident.On further investigation,i foundout
that he did not leave a WILL & all attempts to trace his nextof kin were
fruitless.I therefore made furtherinvestigation &discovered that Mr.Barry
did not declare any next of kin in all his official
documents,including his bank deposit paperwork. This sum
USD$25,000,000.00 is still floating in the bank and the interest is beingrolled
over
with the principal sum at the end of each year.No one will come forward
to claim it.According to Nigerian Laws, At the expiration of 7years,the
money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian governmentif
nobody applies to claim the funds. Consequently,my proposal is that i willlike
you as a foreigner to stand ias a next of kin of Mr Barry Kelly.This is
simple 1)I will like you to provide me immediately with your
full names & address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary
documents & affidavits,which will put you as next of kin. 2)We shall employthe
services of two attorneys for drafting & notarization of the WILLand obtain
the necessary documents and letter of probate/admi
nistration in your favour for the transfer. 3)A bank account in any
part of the world,which you will provide to facilitate the transfer of
this money to you as the beneficiary.The money will be paid into your
account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you.Thereino
risk at all as the attorney amyposition will do the paperwork
for this transaction as the branch manager guarantees the successful
execution of this transaction.If you are interested,please reply
immediately via this private email address. Upon your response,I shall thenprovide
you with more details and relevant documents that will help youunderstand.PLEASE
OBSERVE UTMOST CONFIDENTIALITY,and be rest assured that this would be most
profitable for both of us because i shall requireyour assistance to investmy
share in your country. Awaiting your urgent
reply via this email above,please save me the anxiety of endless
waiting.
God bless you.
Mr.Tom Bello
Owena bank ltd.
