Attention: Sir,

Compliment of the season.

I Mr.Franklin Mordi a senior account officer with Inland Finance and Securities
and as well a one time account financial adviser to the late Foreign National
Oil consultant/contractoractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.
I solicit for your assistance in receiving the sum of US$3.5,000.000.00
(Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars} in a Crete deposited with
Inland Finance and Securities to you. A Foreign national Oilconsultant/contractor
with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, made a numbered time Deposit
for twelve calendar months, a Crete valued at US$3.5,000.000.00 (Three Million
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) with Inland Finance and Securities.

A routine notification has been sent several times to him, without reply.Couple
of months later, I discovered from his contract employers, the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation that he's dead. He died in an auto crash.
On further investigation to the deposit with the firm, no declaration of
inheritance to relation or next of kin to inherit this fund.Unfortunately,
none of his relation or family has ever come forth for this claim, and the
Management of the firm is planning to confiscate the crate{ US$3.5,000.000.00}by
the end of this quarter,since it has overstayed the deposited time.

As regards to the above, I want you to stand in as the next of Kin to
the deceased {even a distance relation does not matter} for us to save the
fruits of the old man's labour before it get to the hands of some corrupt
selfish officials of our firm or the government.

As soon as you consent to this request, I will immediately employ the
service of an Attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to
obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your
favour for the transfer. You will receive; 35% of the total sum as compensation.I
would also like to use 20% of the fund to raise a reputable charity home
or Foundation in the name of the deceased. My position here as the account
officer guarantees the successful execution of this transaction as there
is every arrangement to deliver the Crete{ US$3.5,000.000.00}to your door
step as soon as we {you and I} certify the requirement of our firm.or you
reply at my alternetive E-mail bor (franklin_mordi5@yahoo.com)
