Subject: VERY URGENT.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Chief Allan K. Daramy, Bank Manager of Zenith Bank, Lagos, Nigeria. I
am presently in Amsterdam The Netherlands for two weeks course; I got your
contact from a very reliable source here in Amsterdam and I decided to
contact you. I have urgent and very confidential business proposal for you.
On June 6, 1999,a Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Kari Johnson made a numbered time
(Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$66,500,000.00,
(Sixty-six Million, five hundred thousand Dollars) in my branch.
Upon maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered
from his contract employers, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
that Mr. Kari Johnson died from an Automobile accident. On further
investigation, I found out that he died without making a WALL, and all
attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that Mr. Kari Johnson did not declare any kin
or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank. No one will ever come forward to claim it.
According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money
will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to
claim the fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a
Foreigner to stand in as next of kin to late Mr. Kari Johnson. I am writing
you because I as a public servant cannot operate a foreign account or have
an account more than $1 Million. All these are to make sure that the fruits
of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt
government officials.
This is simple. I will like you to provide me immediately your full names
and address telephone and fax numbers and bank account details were the
funds would be transferred into. For you to be more comfortable with this
project please open a new account for I am not out to defraud your account.
The money will be moved out for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and
40% for you. If you are interested, please reply back to me with this
email, chief_allan3@hotmail.com,I assure you that it is risk free
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require
your assistance to invest my share in your country. (Buying of properties
like houses, hotels etc) responseto my secured mailbox

Best regards,
Mr. Allan K. Daramy
