DEAR SIR,
Firstly, I must solicit your confidence in this
transaction; this is by virtue of its nature as being
utterly confidential and top secret. Though I know
that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone
apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you
that all will be well at the end of the day. We have
decided to contact you due to the urgency of this
transaction, as we have been reliably informed of your
discreetness and ability in transactions of this
Nature.
Let me start by introducing myself properly to you. I
am JOHN ADE,Credit officer with Union Bank of
Nigeria Plc,Lagos.I came to know you in my private
search for a reliable and reputable person to handle
this confidential Transaction, which involves the
transfer of a huge Sum of Money to a Foreign Account
requiring Maximum confidence.
THE PROPOSITION

of Nigeria Plc,Lagos and had a closing balance as at
the end of September,2000 worth
US$30,000,000.00(Thirty Million United States Dollars)
the bank now expects a next of kin as Beneficiary,
valuable effort are being made by the union Bank to
get in touch with any of the Creek's family or relatives
but to
no avail.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not
being able to locate any of Late Engr John
Creek(Snr)'S next of kin(he had no wife nor children
known to us). The Management under the influence of
our chairman and Members of the board of Directors,
have made arrangements for the fund to be declared
unclaimed and subsequently be donated to the trust
fund for Arms and Ammunition to further
enhance the course of War in Africa .
In order to avert this negative development, some of
my trusted colleagues and I, now seek your permission
to have you stand as the next of kin to late Engr John
Creek(Snr) So that the fund US$30Million will be
released and paid into your account as
beneficiary. All documents and prove to enable you get
fund will be carefully worked out. We have
secured from the Probate an order of Mandamus to
locate any of the deceased beneficiaries, and
moreso,we are assuring you that this business is 100%
riskfree.your share stays while the rest will be for
myself and my colleagues for investment purpose.
According to agreement within both parties.
As soon as we receive an acknowledgement of acceptance
of our Business proposal from you, we will furnish you
with the necessary disbursement ratio to suite both
parties without any conflict.
