Subject: Urgent Reply From Agada
I am Mr Enemona Agada a staff in the account management section of a well-known bank in Nigeria, West Africa.
One of our accounts with a holding balance of $9.6 Million USD has been dormant and has not been operated for the past four years.
From my investigations and confirmations, the owner of this account, a foreigner died in August 2000 and since then nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this money because he has no family members who are aware of the existence of neither the account nor the funds.
Also Information from the National Immigration states that he was also single on entry into the Nigeria.
I have secretly discussed this matter with some of the bank officials and we agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with.
We thus propose to do business with you, standing in as the next of kin of the deceased, for the funds to be released to you after due processes have been followed.
This transaction is totally risk and trouble free as the fund is legitimate and does not originate from drugs, money laundering, terrorism or any other illegal act.
On your interest, let me hear from you.
Regards,
Mr. Enemona Agada
