Dear ,
It is with trust and confidence that I make this urgent
proposal to you in view of the fact that you are
trustworthy and reliable.I am the Western District Manager,Standard Trust
International Bank {NIG.} PLC.

However, there is an account opened in this bank in 1991
and since 1996, no body has operated this account again.And
after careful investigation, I discovered that the owner of
this account was the president of RSAUNAMAKI ENGINEERING
COMPANY a foreigner who died in 1996.

The account has no beneficiary at present and investigation
has proved that this company does not know anything about
the account. The total amount in this account is US$25.
5Million (Twenty Five Point Five Million United
StatesDollars Only).

In light of the above , I therefore solicit your assistance to provide a
well maintained account that can accommodate this fund. The management is
ready to welcome anybody preferably a foreigner who has the correct information
of the account which I will give you immediately, if you indicate your willingness
tohandle this project with me.

Now the management of the bank has ordered that all dormant
accounts will be frozen. On the strength of this order, I
wish to make advantage of this situation and present you as
the beneficiary of this fund and get it transferred to your
designated account.

Please be informed that all documents relating to this transaction will
be destroyed immediately after the transfer,for safety purposes. On the
receipt of your positive response, I shall apply for annual leave for our
face to face meeting inyour country. SHARING RATIO:

I will compensate you with 20%of the total money for your
assistance,but this percentage isnegotiable. If this offer
contends with your approvals,kindly drop me email.please
include your phone number to enable me speak with you
orally for more clarification. Looking forward to hearing from you through
