He died two years ago his contract number is NNPC/2930/MXN/28/PED/920.

I am writing you this letter to ask for your support and co-operation to
transfer this money into your bank account. Infact it is my friend that
adviced me to urgently arrange to transfer out this money through another
foreign Beneficiary outside the country since the owner Mr.Williams is a
foreigner and he has died two years ago.but the management did not know
about this money.Our arican bank guidelines indicates that if such money
remain unclaimed for a period of four (4) years,it will be transfer into
african bank Treasury as unclaimed fund. Indicate your telephone and fax
numbers for effective communication. I have decided to share the money 60%
to me and my friend,40% to you.I will do my best to see that we conclude
this transaction successfully on time.Please, also take my address No. 25
Shaibu close,victoria Island, Lagos Nigeria. l want you to know that all
l require from you in this transaction is sincerity and honesty for this
arrangement is for our mutual benefits. Waiting for your response.
