Lagos,Nigeria.
Dear Friend,I am Mr.David Olisabueze,Branch Manager with United Bank For
Africa,ILupeju Branch, Lagos, Nigeria.I have an urgent and very profitable
business proposition for you that should be handled with extreme
confidentiality.

Railway Corporation Mr. Abbas Raymond by name made a numbered time Fixed
Deposit for twelve calendar months valued at US$15.6M (Fifteen Million, Six
Hundred United States Dollars Only) in my branch.
Upon maturity I sent a routine notification in accordance with the Bank
policy to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract
employers Nigerian Railway Corporation that Mr. Abbas Raymond, died from an
automobile accident.
On further investigation, we found out that he died without making a Will
and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made
further investigations and discovered that Mr.Abbas
Raymond did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official
documents including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$15.6M has been carefully moved out of my bank to a Financial
and Security Company in Europe for safekeeping. No one will ever come
forward to claim it and according to the Law of my country, at the
expiration of 7 years the money will revert to the ownership of
the State (Government) if nobody applies to claim the fund.This prompted i
to contact you. We want to frontyou as the next of kin of our late client
thereby making you the legal beneficiary of the sum of $15.6 million U.S
Dollars that is presently in a Financial and Security Company in Europe.
I contacted you because it is against our code ofethics to own and operate
foreign accounts and yourassistance would be needed to claim the money in
the Financial and Security Company in Europe.I have unanimously agreed that
25% of the entire sum would be for you if you agree to take part in this
profitable transaction,65% for me while the remaining 10% would be used to
pay back the expenses that may be incurred during the course of the
transaction by both parties
after the fund has been claimed and lodged in your account. In the event
that you are genunely interested in the transaction, the following
