Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Dear=20Sir/Madam?=
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am DR.JOHN AMADI. Bank Manager of DiamondBank of Nigeria, Lagos Branch
I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On Nov
11, 1999, a FOREIGN Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Barry Kelly made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit
for twelve calendar months, valued at US$25,000,000.00 (Twenty-five Million
Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply. After a month,we sent a reminder and
finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation that Mr. Barry Kelly died from an automobile accident.
On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL,
and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Barry Kelly
did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including
his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$25,000,000.00 is still
sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal
sum at the end of each year No one will ever come forward to claim it According
to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert
to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the
fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as an Foreigner to stand
in as the next of kin to Mr. Barry Kelly so that the fruits of this old
man?s labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and
address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits,
which will put you in place as the next of kin We shall employ the service
of two Attorneys for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain
the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor
for the transfer.
A bank account in any part of the world, which you will provide, will then
facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of
kin The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio
of 60% for me and 40% for you There is no risk at all as all the paperwork
for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and my position as the
Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction If
you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address
below Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and
relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction
would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance
to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply via my email:
diamondbank_nig_plc@yahoo.co.uk
and telephone+234-805-630-1426.
Best Regard.
DR.JOHN AMADI.
