Dear Sir,
Am Mr.Isah Teka, in charge of Bills and Foreign Exchange Remittance
Department of
AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK PLC. I am writing you this letter to ask for your
support
and co-operation to carry out this business opportunity in my department. We
discovered an unclaimed sum of $25Million (Twenty five Million Dollars) in
an account
belonging to one of our a foreign customer(Neuweiler, Adrienne) who was an
petroleum/gas consultant/contactor with the Nigeria National Petroleum
coporation
who happens to be deceased during a business trip. He died with his
wife(Christine
Adrienne) on board the Swissair Flight 111 , which crashed into the Atlantic
off Nova
Scotia in september 2nd 1998. The plane crash was in the news.See links

Since we got information about his death we have been expecting his next of
kin to
come over and claim his money. Unfortunately, neither the family nor the
relation has
appeared to claim this money.We cannot release this money unless somebody
applies
as the next of kin or relation to the deceased.
Our banking guidelines indicated that if such money remained unclaimed for a
period
of eight (7) years, it would be transferred into the DEVELOPMENT BANK
Treasury as
unclaimed fund. Another officer and I in the department now decided to
transfer this
money into your account as the next of kin or relation of the deceased for
easy
collection since nobody is coming for it and we dont want this money to go
back into
the bank treasury as the unclaimed debt. Infact it is my friend that advised
me to
urgently arrange to transfer out this money through another foreign
beneficiary outside
the country. We have decided to give you 15% of the total sum. So please, as
a
matter of urgency send to me,
1.Your Contact address:
2.Contact Telephone & fax Numbers:
for effective communication. I will do my best to see that we conclude this
transaction
successfully on time. Please if you are interested send me an immediate mail
so that I
can explain the details to you to understand everything about this business.
Waiting for your urgent response.

Best Regards.
Mr.Isah Teka.
