section of Eco Bank in west Africa with due respect and regard. I have decided
to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to
both of us at the end of the transaction . During our investigation and
auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money
belonging to a deceased person who died on 21 april 2001 in a Autho crash
and the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any
claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before
our discovery to this development.Although personally, I keep this information
secret within myself and partners to enable the whole plans and idea be

The said amount was us$15M (fifteen million united states dollars). Since
then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients
extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact a foreigner who will act as
the next of kin to the deceased instead of the money going into the federal
government coffers. I have
contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and property left behind
by my client before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable by the
bank where this huge deposits were
lodged.Particularly,the Eco Bank Plc where the deceased had an account valued
at about 13 million united states dollars has issued a notice for the next
of kin to surface or have the account confisicated within the next ten official
working days.
since i have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 3 years
now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
hence we claim this fund for our own benefits so that the proceeds of this
account valued at 13 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and
me can share the money. I have all necessary legal documents that can be
used to back up any claim we may make.All I require is your honest cooperation
to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of
the law. I will procure all necessary Legal documents furnish me with the
below information to enable the bank transfer the fund to your bank account.
