Dear Friend,
I am Mr Collins Ukaegbu, Bank Manager of Diamond Bank Plc, Lagos Branch.
I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.I got your
contact from the world trade center (W.T.C.) regional office in Lagos, Nigeria
although the details of my intention was not made known to them. On June
6 2000, An American oil consultant / contractor with the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Barry Kelly made a numbered time (fixed) deposited
for twelve calendar valued at US$25,500,000.00 (Twenty Five Million five
hundred thousand 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 contact
employers Nigerian National Petroleum corporation that Mr. Barry Kelly died
from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that
he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Barry Kelly
did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents, including
his Bank Deposit paperwork. This sum of US$25,500,000.00 is still sitting
in the Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum
at the end of each year. No one will come forward to claim it.
According to the Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money
will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies
to claim the funds.Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as
a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Barry Kelly so that the
fruits of this old mans labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt
government officials. This is simple: -
1. I will like you to provide me immediately with 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.
2. We shall employ the services of two attorneys for drafting and notarization
of the WILL and obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate /administration
in your favour for the transfer.
3. A bank account in any part of the world, which you provide, will then
facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary / next of
kin of Mr. Barry Kelly.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of
60% for me and 30% for you. and 10% is for expenses incured in this transaction.There
is no risk at 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.
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.
Thanks and regards,
Mr Collins Ukaegbu
