An AMERICAN Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National petroleum

routine notification has been sent several times to him without reply. In
2003, I discovered from his contract employee, the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation that my client is dead. Unfortunately, was a victim of
the AF4590 German Concorde plane that crashed in France. On further
investigation the entire family was in the plane, and no declaretion of
inheritance on the deposit made to the Bank, as he intend to invest in ASIA.
I have made several research since 2003 till December last year, to reach
any of his relation or family member for claim, without success and locate
any of them, and the management of the AFRICAN DEVELOMENT BANK PLC is
planning to confiscate the fund by the end of this month quarter, since the
interest is being rolled over with the principal sum for many years. I want
you to stand in as the next of Kin to the deceased,for us to save the fruits
of the old man's labour before it get to the hands of some corrupt selfish
officials of the government of Nigeria,whose interest is to confiscate this
fund within 14 days from tomorrow.As soon as you consent to this request, I
will immediately employ the service of a lawyer to notarize the WILL and
obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your
favor of you for the transfer of the fund to your Bank account.
You will receive; 45% of the total sum as compensation, base on your good
intention to help me secure the fund in your account. I would also like to
use 5% of the fund to rasie a reputable charity home or Foundation in the
name of the deceased. My position here as the accountant officer guarantees
the successful execution of this transaction. Looking forward to your urgent
anticipation to this offer and pls provide me with your full information
such as you Telephone and Fax numbers to enable us discuss better.
