Dear friend
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings, and I hope 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.
I am REV.KELVIN ADAM, the director in charge of auditing and accounting
Section. With due
respect, I have decided to contact you on a business Transaction that will
be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person (LATE ROBERT
EBNER) who perished in the plane crash of (04 May 2002,) 2002 {with EAS
Airlines-Flight No.: EXW4226} with other passengers aboard as you can
confirm it by yourself at this webpage:

And the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any
Claim of the fund either from his family or relation before we discovered
that he died along with his entire family. Although, efforts have been made
by the bank managements to get in touch with his next of kin or any of
his relations, but all to no avail (He had no relative to stand as the next
of kin).
Personally, my colleagues and I have kept this discovery secret for Smooth
execution. The said amount was (US$25,500,000.00) Twenty Five Million, Five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars. As it may interest you to know, I
got your impressive information through my good friend who works with
chamber of commerce on foreign business relations here in my country.
However, if you feel your identify is mistaken and you feel you can partake
in this business, do not hesitate to contact me as soon as possible.
They recommended your person to me to be viable and capable to champion a
business of such magnitude without any problem.Meanwhile all the whole
arrangement to put claim over this fund in your Favour as the bonafide "Next
of Kin" to the deceased, got the required Approval (obviously owing to my
influence) and decision to transfer this money to a foreign account has ben
arrived at, so directives andneeded information will be relayed to you as
soon as you indicate your Interest and willingness to co-operate with us and
also by extension,benefit yourself in this great business opportunity.
Infarct I could have done this deal alone but it would eventually raise an
eye brow during the time of transfer for a supposedly {Nigerian} to Stand as
a next of kin to a foreign customer. This is the actual reason why it will
require a foreign partner who will forward claims as the "Next of Kin" to
the Bank and also present a foreign account where you will need the money to
be remitted to by the Correspondent Branch in charge of foreign remittance.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On
smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 20% of the
total sum for your participation while 70% will be for me and my Colleagues
in this operation, 10% will be mapped out for the balance of every
expense. But let me know without hesitation if you are not accepting the
Percentage, and by so doing, let me know the percentage you require going
ahead with this deal. Please, you have been advised to keep this business
confidentially as we are not ready to risk our hard earned reputation
for long service in the industry so far.
I pledge to be monitoring the whole transaction here in the bank until You
confirm the money in your account and ask us to come down to your Country
for sharing of the fund according to percentages agreed and subsequent
investment either in your country or any country as you may advise. All
other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from you.
I will require the following information from you for procession of the fund
in your favuor.
1. Your private phone and fax number.
2. Your home address. I personally need your home address because I do not
know you too well before now only that I decided to work with you on trust
believing God that you will not cheat on me, I am ready to negotiate he mode
of sharing with you
I look forward to hear from you asap.
Yours faithfully,
REV.KELVIN ADAM
