Subject: CAN YOU BE SINCERE


Mr Tunde Lemo
Central Bank Of Nigeria,
Lagos state Branch,

email:tundelemo_cbn@fastermail.com
ATTN: MD/CEO
I am TUNDE LEMO, Deputy Governor - Financial Sector Surveillance /
Board Member , Nigeria.I have an urgent and very profitable
businessproposition for you that should be handled withextreme
confidentiality.On January 6,1998 a Foreign Oil Consultant
andcontractor with the Nigerian National PetroleumCorporation
(NNPC) Mrs Sabine Gerad by name made a
numbered time Fixed Deposit for twelve calendar monthsvalued at
US$250M (Two hundred and fifty Million United States Dollars Only) in
my
branch.Upon maturity I sent a routine notification in
accordance with the Bank policy to her forwarding address but got
no reply.After a month we sent a reminder and finally we discovered
from her contract employers the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) that Mrs Sabine Gerad died
from an automobile accident.On further investigation, we found out
that she died without making a Will and all attempts to trace her
next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigations
and discovered that Mrs Sabine Gerad did not declare any next of
kin or relations in all
her official documents including her Bank Deposit paperwork in my
Bank.This sum of US$250M has been carefully moved out of my bank
to a Security Company in Europe for safekeeping.
No one will ever come forward to claim it and according to Nigerian
Law, at the expiration of 5
years the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian
Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.This prompted us to
contact you.We will like to front you as the next of kin of our
late client thereby making you the legal beneficiary of the sum of
$250million U.S Dollars that is presently in a Security Company in
Europe. I contacted you because it is against our code of ethics to
own and operate foreign accounts and your assistance would be
needed to claim the money in the Security Company in Europe.We
have unanimously agreed that 15% of the entire sum would be for you
if you agree to take part in this profitable transaction,80% for me
and 2 of my colleagues while the remaining 5% would be used to pay
back the expenses that may be incurred during thecourse of the
transaction by both parties after the
fund has been claimed and lodged in your account. In the event that
you are genuinely interested in the transaction,the following
information would be needed from you to expedite action.
1) Your Full Name and Address that would be used to establish you
as the next of kin of our late client thereby making you the legal
beneficiary of the fund.This would ensure that the Offshore payment
centre/Security Company in Europe releases the Consignment/Fund to
you.
2) Your Private Mobile,Telphone and Fax numbers where you can be
reached at all time because this transaction entails constant
communication.The transaction is 100% risk free as all modalities
has been perfected to ensure the hitch free success of the
transaction.
If you are interested, send the requested information via email so
that we can proceed .send your details to my above email address.


I await your response urgently.
Regards,

TUNDE LEMO
