Dear Friend,
Good Day
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings, and I hope this mail
meets you in good time. However strange or surprising this contact might
seem to you, as we have not meet personally or had any dealings in the past,
I humbly ask that you take due consideration of its importance and immense
benefit.
It is my pleasure to write and inform you, that you were chosen to act as
next of Kin to LATE JAMES LOCKER. But be rest assured that your contact
particulars was given to me after a due search, for a reliable and capable
foreigner that will handle confidentially a transfer of huge sum of money
from DIAMOND DIPLOMATIC FINANCE to a foreign bank account. The deal in
details:A foreigner, LATE JAMES LOCKER was an oil merchant/contractor with
the Federal Government of Nigeria and resides here in Nigeria not until his
untimely death six year ago in ghastly plane crash. (LATE JAMES LOCKER) who
perished in the plane crash of OCTOBER 31, 1999 { with Egyptian airline
990} with other passengers aboard as you can confirm it your self at this

He had a deposit of (US$32,000,000.00) THIRTY TWO MILLION UNITED STATES
DOLLARS, here with the DIAMOND DIPLOMATIC FINANCE OF NIGERIA before his
death on OCTOBER 31, 1999. I am his accountant officer at the Bank, and
till now nobody has serviced this account or shown up for his money since
after his death till date. Although, efforts have been made by the bank
managements to get in touch with his next of kin or any of his relations,
but all to no avail (He had no children or any relative to stand as the net
of kin).It is on this note some top officials of Bank, resolved and asked
me the attorney to find the next of kin.This i have done, but was
unsuccessful. so i decieded to negotiate with a trust worthy foreigner who
is willing to assist, and act as the next of kin to the late client, this
sum of money is now kept in the DECEASED ACCOUNT of the bank, please
understand that this money (US$32,000,000.00)when transferred into your
account will be shared as will agree before going into this ,when i hear
from you.
This transaction is 100% risk free, for I have concluded every arrangement
to safeguard you in this transaction.Therefore, if you wish to assist
us,hasten up and send the following informations to enable us effectively
process the necessary document for smooth transfer into your account, as to
be nominated by you as the next of kin to JAMES LOCKER ; you are urgently
required to send to me.The name to be used in changing the existing next of
kin at the bank.Your Bank name and adress, where the money will be
transferd, Your Account name and account number which will be use, Your
private telephone and fax number for fast and safer communication.
I know we have never met or entered into any kind of transaction with you
before as to know the extent of your trust and honesty. But based on the
recommendation, I personally want to believe that you will not sit on the
money if it finally gets to your account.
It is on this note I consider it proper to write and ask for your consent,
and permission to support the transfer into your account.Please, for
security reasons acknowledge the receipt of this latter by mailing back
through my private e-mail address . nunu56_chambers@yahoo.com
