Subject: need your cooperation
My Dear,
I want to ask you to kindly look for a reliable and
honest person who will be capable and fit to provide
either an existing bank account or to set up a new
bank account immediately to receive this money, though
an empty bank account could serve this purpose as long
as you will remain honest to me till the end of this
important business trusting in you and believing in
you and will never let me down either now or in
time to come.
My name is Mr Friday Wole, and I work in the
International operation department in a Local Bank
here in Nigeria. On a routine inspection I
discovered a dormant domiciliary account with a BAL.
Of 35,000,000 (Thirty Five Million USD) on further
discreet investigation, I also discovered that the
account holder has long since passed away (DEAD}And he
dead in South African leaving no beneficiary to the
account. The bank will approve this money to any
foreigner because the former operator of the a/c is a
foreigner and from Iraq in particular and I am
certainly sure that he is dead, and nobody will come
again for the claim of this money A foreigner can only
claim this money with legal claims to the account
Holder;
The owner of this account who is Mr.Joe Benjamin,a
foreigner and an industrialist here in Nigeria died,
until now no other person(s) knows about this account
or could give any documentary evidence concerning this
account. As such this account has no other beneficiary
and my investigation proved to me as well that
Mr Joe Benjamin until his death was the manager of
Nigeria Local & Foriing Oil Company. However, if you
are interested in this business kindly send me your
account information and phone no both home and office
to start the business . While the total amount
involved is thirty five million United States Dollars
(U.S.$35000,000.00)only.
However, knowing all this, we will reach a binding
agreement in this regards. As a matter of urgency, I
will inform you the next step to take, while you send
your private telephone and fax number including the
full details of the account to be used for the
deposit. I want us to meet face to face to build
confidence and to sign a binding agreement that will
bind us together before transferring the money to any
account of your choice where the fund will be safe.
Before we fly to your country for withdrawal,
Sharing and investments,
I need your full co-operation to make this business a
success, because the management is ready to approve
this payment to any foreigner who has correct
information of this account, which I will give to you,
upon your positive response and once I am convinced
that you are capable and will meet up with the
instructions of a key bank official who is deeply
involved with me in this business. I need your strong
assurance that you will never let me down.
With my influence and the position in the bank we can
transfer this money to any foreigner's reliable
account which you can provide with assurance that this
money will be intact pending our physical arrival in
your country for sharing.
And to build confidence that you can come immediately
to discuss with me face to face after which I will
make this remittance in your presence and three of us
will fly to your country at least two days ahead of
the money going into the account. I will apply for
annual leave to get visa immediately I hear from you
that you are ready to act as directed.
To prove the authenticity of the business I will use
my position and influence to obtain all legal
approvals for onward transfer of this money to your
account with appropriate clearance from the relevant
ministries, foreign exchange departments, and embassy
and Board of Internal Revenue services.
(1) Your Private: Tele& Fax Number
(2) Your Account: Number
(3) Your Account: Name
(4) Your Bank: Address
(5) Your Bank: Name
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given
35% of the total amount, 60% will be for me, while 5%
will be for expenses both parties might have incurred
during this process.
I look forward to your earliest reply through email

Yours Truly,
Mr Friday Wole.
