Subject: private!
I am Mr. Innocent Okoli, an Accountant with
INTERCONTINENTAL BANK PLC (ICB), I am the personal
Account Manager to Engr. Michael Howell, a national of
your country and a contractor with Cheveron Texaco
Petroleum Company in Nigeria.
On the 21st of April 2000, Engr. Michael Howell, his
wife and their three children were involved in a car
accident Along Lagos/Ibadan Express Road. Unfortunately
they all lost their lives in the event in the accident.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your
Embassy to locate any of my client's extended
relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After
these several Unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace
his relatives over the Internet, to locate any member
of His family but of no avail, hence I contacted you.
I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money in
addition to properties left behind by Mr. Michael
Howell which I manage before they get Confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the banks where this huge
deposits were lodged. Particularly, INTERCONTINENTAL
BANK PLC, where the deceased had an account valued at
about US$14.5 million dollars.
Consequently, The bank issued me a notice to provide
the Next Of Kin or have the account confiscated within
the next twenty official working days. But since I have
been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2
years now I seek your consent to present you as the
next of kin of the deceased since you are from the same
country so that the proceeds of this account valued at
US$14.5 million dollars can be paid to you and then you
and me can share the money. 50% to me and 40% to you,
while 10% should be for expenses or tax as your
government may require.
All I require from you is your honest cooperation to
enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. because
of the utimatum by the bank I have been able to move
the fund from INTERCONTINENTAL BANK PLC to NATIONAL
BANK AND SECURITY COMPANY (nasbc) www.nasbc.com
Please get in touch with me by my email to Enable us
discuss further and also send your telephone and fax
numbers to me for easy communication.
Send your reply to my private email address:

Best regards,
Mr. Innocent Okoli.
