Subject: Dear From Me Vivian Salife.
Dear From Me Vivian Salife,
My name is Mrs. Vivian salife am from I was born in South Africa iam 30years
old today, I am the Senior Accountant in Union Bank of Nigeria Plc of my
own branch. I am the widow to late Samuel Salife my husband died as a result
of political gang up in the nation and since my husband died things have
being very hard for me and my only son Ali who is critical sick in the
hospital suffering from heart problem that needed to undergoes surgery
operations as the doctor confirm it. Which had made me to collect more than
ten months salary as a loan from my bank through my director to pay for to
the hospital where he is right away now as a deposit before the agreed to
attend to him. Which needed to be paid back within some time from now. That
is why i have run to you as a matter of help so that we can execute this
business together. I only have this deal from my bank and I know that if you
will be honest to me this deal will be profitable for both ofus and I am not
the type that always runs deal in my office but due to my present condition
now I decided to contact you for your assistance but all I want is your
honesty in this business then I will give you all the details about this
money in my bank.
This man am telling you of him Mr Ziya made this deposit in our bank branch
when he was doing a contract with Chevron and Shell Oil Company as Oil an
Barron he was, and the amount which he made as a deposit was $6.2million Us
dollars with our bankbranch, while I was his personal accountant when he was
making this deposit in our bank branch through my desk, so this man have
been so good to me when he do visit our bank in the course of making some
deposit. And he never knew that a sudden incident is going to happen to him
that coursed his sudden death together with the wife.
During our investigation and auditing in our bank branch, my department came
across this very huge sum of money belonging to Mr.Ziya Bazhayev, President
of the Oil Alliance Company who died on Yak-40 aircraft, on a charter flight
from Moscow to Kiev on March 9,2000. The fund has been dormant in his
account with our Bank without any claim of the funds in our custody either
from his family or relation/friends before our discovery of this
development.
The Banking law here stipulates that if such money remains unclaimed for
Seven years, it will be forfeited To the Bank treasury as an unclaimed bill
it is only a foreigner that can stand as a next Of kin and it is upon this
discovery that I decided to contact you to collaborate with you to pull out
this dormant fund. In order to avert This negative development, I now seek
your permission to have you stand in as next of kin to our late Customer So
that this fund will be released and paid into your account as the
beneficiary’s next Of kin now that the bank is still expecting a next of
Kin, relative or friend of the deceased, Mr.Ziya Bazhayev You will Read more

In fact I could have done this deal alone but because Of My position in my
bank and not being a foreigner as the bank have requested, further more as a
civil servants, I am not allowed to operate a foreign account and that would
eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer since I
still work in this bank, this is the actual reason why I required
a second party or fellow who will assist me forward claims as the next of
kin and also provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank
a/c immediately to receive this fund, even an empty a/c can also serve for
this purpose.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 40% as
gratification for your assisting me, and the remaining 60% will be for me.
What I want from you is for you to act as the deceased next of kin. I have
in my possession; all the necessary information’s to successfully accomplish
the operation. Bear in mind that this demand from me is
100% risk free and will be legal as far as you work according to my own
instruction and guideline, by given you the contact of the bank attorneys
who is been subjected and authorised to get every information’s of the true
next of kin to this late
person.
Further Information will be given to you as soon as I receive your positive
response. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your
wish, and in return to give you the details I shall also send to you my
personal Identity and my personal picture too.
I await your Urgent response. here is my personal
phone number:234-803-3843262.
Best regards,
Mrs. Vivian Salife
Senior Accountant,
