GOOD DAY TO YOU,
I am DR Onyemere Kelechi a Manager in one of FIRST BANK OF NIGERIA PLC Branch
Office here in Lagos Nigeria.

I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.I got your
contact address from your country chambers of commerce although the details
of my intention was not made known to them. On June 6 2001, An American
oil consultant /contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation,
Mr. Gaski Dairo made a numbered time (fixed) deposited for twelve calendar
valued at
US$10,500,000.00 Ten Million five hundred thousand Dollars) in my branch.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contact
employers Nigerian National Petroleum corporation that Mr. Gaski Dairo died
from an auto crash. On further investigation, I found out that he did not
leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless.

I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Gaski Dairo
did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents,including
his Bank Deposit paperwork. This sum of US$10,500,000.00 is still sitting
in the Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum
at the end of each year. No one will come forward to claim it.

According to the Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 4 (four) years, the
money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody
applies to claim the funds.Consequently, my proposal is that I will like
you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Gaski Dairo it
doesnt matter if you have the same surname with him or not so that the fruits
of this old mans labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government
officials and remember that this fund can only be claimed by a help of a
foreigner that is the main reason i am presenting you.
1. I will like you to provide me immediately with your full names and address
so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits,which
will put you in place as the next of kin.

2. The attorney will prapere for the drafting and notarization of the WILL
and obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate /administration
in your favour for the transfer.
3. A bank account in any part of the world, which you provide, will then
facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary / next of
kin of Mr. Gaski Dairo.The money will be paid into your account for us to
share in the ratio of 50% for me and 45% for you why 5% for any expeneses
that we will incure.

There is no risk at all the paperwork for this transaction will be done
by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful
execution of this transaction.

Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details.

Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction
would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance
to invest my share in your country.

If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address
stated below.
God bless you.

Thanks and regards,

DR.Onyemere Kelechi.
