Dear Friend,
Good Day!
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings, and I hope this

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 SHALINE ADAM. 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 UNION BANK NIGERIA PLC to a foreign bank account. The deal

the Federal Government of Nigeria and resides here in Nigeria not until her untimely death six year ago in ghastly plane crash. (Mrs.Shaline Adam) who perished in the plane crash of 31 October 1999 {with Egyptian airline 990} with other passengers aboard as you can

She had a deposit of (US$32,624,000.00) THIRTY TWO MILLION, SIX
HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOUR THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS, and here with
the UNION BANK OF NIGERIA before her death in 31 October 1999.I am her
accountant officer at the Union Bank, and till now nobody has serviced
this account or shown up for his money since after her death till date.
Although, efforts have been made by the bank managements to get in touch with
her next of kin or any of his relations, but all to no avail (she had no husband or children).
It's on this note some top officials of Union Bank, who are fully
aware of his the incident resolved and asked me to find and negotiate with a
trust worthy foreigner who is willing to assist, and act as the next of kin
to the LATE SHALINE ADAM, this sum of money is now kept in the DECEASED

(US$32,624,000.00) 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. Therefore, if
you wish to assist us, hasten up and send the following to enable us
effectively process the necessary document for smooth transfer into your account,
as to be nominated by you as the next of kin to LATE SHALINE ADAM.
You are urgently required to send to me. The name to be used in
changing the existing next of kin at the bank. 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, 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.
