AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT

ECO BANK NIG PLC LAGOS NIGERIA
EMAIL:anyiamduruji@terra.com


Dear Friend,

I am Mr. Anyiam Duruji, Account Officer with the Eco Bank of Nigeria Plc.I
am soliciting your assistance in carrying out this business opportunity
in my department.

Lying in an inactive account is the sum of US$12.5 Million that belonged
to a foreign customer, Mr.Kamal, who happened to be deceased.

I was in charge of his account in my bank. On the 7th of November 1996,my
customer, his wife and their three children were involved in a plane crash
on board an ADC airline flight at the Ejirin River in Lagos,Nigeria.


Unfortunately, they all perished in that crash. Since then, several inquiries
have been made to locate any of the deceased extended relatives but this
has proved unsuccessful. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating
the money and property left behind by Mr. Kamal before they get confiscated
or declared unserviceable by the bank in accordance with current banking
regulation.

Since all efforts have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over
the years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at $12.5 million can
be paid to you and then you and I can share the money.60% shall be for me
and 40% for you.

All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect us from any breach of the law.

Please get in touch with me via e-mail (******or ***) to enable us discuss
further on this matter. You may also, send your phone number so that I can
call you.Also you can reach me at my private
Email:anyiamduruji@terra.com

Best regard,

Mr Anyiam Duruji.
