Your Attn:

this mail meets you in good time. However strange or surprising this contact
might seem to you, as we have not meet personally or had any dealings in the
past, I humbly ask that you take due consideration of its importance and
immense benefit.
It is my pleasure to write and inform you, that you were chosen to act as next
of Kin to LATE ROBERT EBNER, but be rest assured that your contact particulars
was given to me after a due search, for a reliable and capable foreigner that
will handle confidentially a transfer of huge sum of money from a Nigeria bank
to a foreign bank account, let me use this opportunity to give you the details
of this business, LATE ROBERT EBNER was an oil merchant/contractor with the
British Oil Control and resides here in Nigeria not until his untimely death
some years ago in ghastly plane crash. (LATE ROBERT EBNER) who perished in the
plane crash of OCTOBER 31, 1999 (with Egyptian airline 990) with other
passengers aboard as you can confirm it your self at this web page:
http://www.greatdreams.com/pass990.htm.
He had a deposit of (US$32,000,000.00) THIRTY TWO MILLION UNITED STATES
DOLLARS, with a Nigeria bank Name (withhold) before his death on OCTOBER 31,
1999. I am his attorney at the bank, and till now nobody has serviced this
account or shown up for his money since after his death till date. Although,
efforts have been made by the bank managements and me to get in touch with his
next of kin or any of his relations, but all to no avail (He had no children
or any relative to stand as the net of kin). It is on this note that the Bank
management, who are fully aware of the incident resolved and asked me as his
attorney to provide them with his next of kin, to this effect now I want to
negotiate with a trust worthy foreigner who is willing to assist, and act as
the next of kin to the LATE ROBERT EBNER, this sum of money is now kept in the
DECEASED ACCOUNT with the bank, please understand that this money
(US$32,000,000.00)when transferred into your account will be used for a joint
venture establishment, as may be agreed by both parties involved.
This transaction is 100% risk free, for we have concluded every arrangement
to safeguard you in this transaction with all the legal documents. Therefore,
if you wish to assist me, hasten up and send the following information's to
enable us effectively process the necessary documents for smooth transfer into
your account, as to be nominated by you as the next of kin to LATE ROBERT
EBNER and you are urgently required to send to me your full name to be used in
changing the existing next of kin at the bank. Your Bank name and address,
where the money will be transfer to, your private telephone and fax number for
fast and safer communication. I know we have never met or entered into any
kind of transaction with you before as to know the extent of your trust and
honesty. But based on the recommendation and the urgency of this, I personally
want to believe that you will not sit on the money if it finally gets to your
account. It is on this note I consider it proper to write and ask for your
consent, and permission to support the transfer into your account. Please, for
security reasons acknowledge the receipt of this letter by mailing back
