Dear friend,



I am Mr.jerry Njemanze,senior manager accounts/audit department, in Global
Bank of Nigeria Plc. DR.George Brumley Jr, who was a consultant with
Shell-development company in Nigeria and a personal friend who Died and left
behind his deposit in this bank Global BANK NIGERIA PLC valued
$20 Million Dollars.My relationship with DR.George started in the year 1999
when I was a supervisor in Global bank marina branch. We met in my social
club annual end of the year party and I introduced him to my bank where he
opened this account some few weeks later making me the
account officer to the account and he operated this account until his death.



On the 21st of July 2003, DR. George, his wife and their two children were
involved in a plan crash in Nairobi Kenya. All passengers of the plan
unfortunately lost their lives.Since then I have made several enquiries to
your embassy to locate any of DR.George's extended relatives
this has also paved unsuccessful.To prevent the bank to claim this money I
know decided to contact any body from your country, I decided to contact you
via your email address with hope to get this money out of the bank.This is
the web site of this tragedy that struck on that faithfulday.

Mr.George before they get confiscated since the bank has declared th account
unserviceable.I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over
3years since I was recalled back to marina branch as a senior manager from a
transfer that took me to another branch of the bank.I therefore seek your
consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased , so that the
proceeds of this account valued at $20 Million Dollars can be paid to your
account abroad and then you can have 30% of the money for your kind gesture
and keep the other 60% for me and 10% for expenses procured, I Will need to
travel down to your country for the collection of the 60% balance as soon as
this fund gets to you.I have the Certificate of deposit that can be used to
back up any claim we may make.


All I require is your honestco-operation to enable us see this transaction
through, of which we must present a foreigner with an account abroad to
enable us to clear this money from the bank.

number and your full name.I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you and I from any breach of the
