Subject: Seeking for partnership for inheritance fund claim of $12.5musd
Attn: CEO/MANAGING DIRECTOR
My name is Mr. Wilfred Eze, I am a staff of Citibank NA, Lagos Nigeria in
Africa with our head office in New York, USA. I work in the operations dept
where i serve as account officer to numerous customers i have urgent and
very confidential business proposition for you.
On may 1999,an American foreign oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian
national petroleum corporation, late Mr. Morris Thompson made a numbered
time (fixed) deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at us$12,500,000.00,
(Twelve million, five hundred thousand dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity,
my boss 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 (NNPC) that
late Mr. Morris Thompson an American had unfortunately lost his life in the
plane crash of Alaska airlines flight 261 which crashed on January 31 2000,
including his wife and only daughter. You shall read more about the crash on
visiting this site.

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
kin or relatives to come over and claim his money because we cannot release
it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased
as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately i learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only daughter
ied along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of
this fund behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that i
now decided to make business with you and release the money to you as the
next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for safety keeping and subsequent
disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don’t want this money to
go back into government treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such money remained
after six years the money will be transferred into banking treasury as
unclaimed funds. I have decided that 40% of this money will be for you as
foreign partner, 10% will go to New Orleans and while the balance will be
for me. I will visit your country for the disbursement according to the
percentages indicated above once this money gets into your account. This
percentage-sharing ratio will be drafted and sealed with an agreement letter
on black and white that will bind both of us and guarantee our shares. Note
that this deal will be executed on a legitimate manner hence; i will be
hiring the services of a local attorney to represent your interest here in
the pursuit.
Finally, if you are interested in this deal, quickly furnish me on the above
email address with your full names, address, complete banking details as it
will appear in the claims documents to the bank and your direct telephone
number for oral communication.
Above all, please handle this deal with maturity and absolute
confidentiality.
Thanks and God bless you for being my partner.
Regards,
Wilfred Eze
