Subject: URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED
From: MR Mike Ejiofor(CHARTERRED ACCOUNTANT,MPA).
Union Bank of Nig Plc.
Marina Brach,Plot 1212, tijian

Attn: Sir,
I am Mr.Mike Ejiofor a senior manager accounts/audit department, in Union Bank of Nigeria Plc.
DR.George Brumley Jr, who was a consultant with Shell development company in Nigeria and a personal friend Died and left behind his deposit in this bank (UNION BANK NIGERIA PLC) valued $20 Million Dollars.
My relationship with DR. George started in year 1999 when I was a supervisor in Union bank marina branch. We met in my social club annual end of the year party and I introduced him to my bank where he opened this account some few weeks later making me the account officer to the account and he operated this account until his death.
On the 21st of July 2003, DR. George,his wife and their two children were involved in a plan crash in Nairobi Kenya. All passengers of the plane unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy to locate any of DR.George's extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.
To prevent the bank to claim this money I now decided to contact any foreigner who can assit in realising this goal by acting as the next of kin to Dr.George, with hope to get this money out of the bank.
This is the web site of this tragedy that struck on that faithful day.

I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by Mr.George before they get confiscated since the bank has declared the account unnserviceable.
I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3years since I was recalled back to marina branch as a senior manager from a transfer that took me to another branch of the bank.
I therefore seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased , so that the proceeds of this account valued at $20 Million Dollars can be paid to your account abroad ,you will have 30% of the money for your role while I will have 60% and 10% for expenses that we may incure in the cause of processing the claim.
However ,the moment we finalize the transaction and the money is confirmed into your nominated Bank account,I will travel down to your country for my share of the fund.
I and my attorney have access to all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up the claim we are making. All I require is your honest co operation to enable us succeed in this transaction.
Your contact information are very necessary, I mean contact address, phone and fax numbers
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please do get back to me as soon as possible
Best Regards,
Mr.Mike Ejiofor
