Hello dear.
A foreigner, late Engr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser, an Oil
Merchant, until his death some years ago, banked with
us here at Union Bank Plc. Lagos, and had a losing
balance of (Eight Million five hundred United States
Dollars) which the bank now unquestionably expects to
be claimed by any of his available foreign next of kin
or alternatively be donated to a discredited trust
fund for arms and ammunition at a military war college
here in Nigeria.
Engr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser, died in the plane crash
of 31 October 1999 [with Egyptian 990] with other
passengers aboard as you can confirm it yourself via
the website
below:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm
Fervent valuable efforts are being made by the Union
Bank Plc to get in touch with any of the late. Engr.
Mohamed Kamal Yasser`s family or relatives but all
have proved to no avail.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not
going to be able to locate any of late Engr. Mohamed
Kamal Yasser`s next of kin (he had no wife and
children) that the management under the influence of
our Chairman, board of directors, so that an
arrangement for the fund to be declared UNCLAIMABLE"
and then be subsequently donated to the Trust Fund for
Arms and Ammunition which will further enhance the
course of war in Africa and the world in general.
In order to avert this negative development, myself
and some of my trusted colleagues in the bank now seek
for your permission to have you stand as late Engr.
Mohamed Kamal Yasser`s next of kin so that the fund,
Eight Million five hundred United States Dollars would
be subsequently transferred and paid to you as the
beneficial next of kin.
All documents and proves to enable you get this fund
have been carefully worked out and we are assuring you
of 100% risk free involvement. Your share would be 30%
of the total amount. 10% has been set aside for
expenses, while the rest will be for my colleagues and
I for investment purposes in your country.

take advantage of the trust we hope to bestow on you,
then kindly get back to me immediately via my e-mail
with your details at;www_unionbank_postmoney@yahoo.com
