Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Nikolay Samoylov, the general auditor of Citibank, Lagos
Nigeria.I will go straight to the point of my mail to you and i do hope you
will
view it as a serious and an opportunity for us both.
There is this floating funds which is to the tune of Eighteen Million
Euros (18,000,000.00 Euros) Which has been floating in an account here since
2000 after the death of the true owner of the funds.Late Mr. Morris
Thompson, an American who was a private business man,who unfortunately lost
his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on
January 31st 2000, including his wife and only daughter.

I just came across his file again when I was auditing all the credit
account in Citibank Lagos Nigeria, and I found out that nobody have
ever come on behalf of the Late Mr. Morris Thompson as his next of kin
to claim the funds.
And I have been monitoring this account since I discovered this information.
In this case I have concluded to contact you, if you are reliable to
execute this transaction with me, then I will instruct you on how to claim
or
stand as the next of kin to the late Mr. Morris Thompson,so that the funds
could be transfered to your overseas A/C, if only you will co-operate with
me
and not to betray me at the end.
As soon as you confirm your interest and co-operation I will give you
the guide lines on how you can transact with the bank for the approval of
the funds to your account.
As soon as everything is been put into place for the transfer I will
apply for an annual leave to obtain a visa to travel to your country for my
share of the funds. The sharing of the funds is 55% for me, 40% for you
and the remaining 5% will be for expenses we incurred during the
transaction. As soon as the transaction is over I will secretly destroy all
documents that will lead to the trace of this transfer and go Back to My
Country
because i have work all my Life in Lagos.
As soon as I receive your reply through my Private email I Also will
send you a copy of my international passport, and I will advise you on how
to go about the transaction as well as to send you an agreement letter
that
will bind us together in case of any future misunderstanding when
sharing the funds.
I await your soonest respond.
Thanks for your understanding.
Mr. Nikolay Samoylov.
