I am Mr Destiny Ugo Martins the financial controller in charge of auditing
and accounting section of (1st First Bank, lagos, Nigeria West Africa. With
due respect and regards, am contacting you on a business transaction that
will be beneficial to both of us at the end. During our investigation and
auditing in our bank, We discovered the sum of $12.3mUSD.(Twelve million
Three Hundred Thousand United states Dollars)belonging to one Late
Eng.Nelson CREEK HELIOFF. a citizen of your country based in USA,who died in
Kenya airways plane crash few years back in Abidjan Cote d,Ivoire on
February 2000.
The money has been dormant in his account without any claim from the
partners, relations or family members. It remains five months to expire the
dateline bank gave to send the fund into their escrow account and close down
the account as their rules and regulation stated. Hence my contact to you to
forward your particulars as the partner of the deceased to put claim on this
fund immediately.
All the arrangement to put claim there has been perfected. Once you are
interested i will give you guide lines on how to proceed with the claim in
our bank .So that the fund will be approved by the bank to be wired into
your nominated account abroad through our correspondence bank overseas.
If you are interested, I will give you all the deceased information for you
to apply for the claim here in our bank after which it will be forwarded to
our affiliate Bank overseas. We would have executed this deal alone but
because we are still working with the bank,also,we as civil servants by law
are not allowed to operate a foreign account that is more reason why your
assistance is needed to help us execute the deal.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free,It has
been covered from any act of inquiry. On the conclusion of this transaction,
you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 10%

and my partners. you are thereby advised to keep this deal secret as we are
still in service and intend to retire honorably from service after we
conclude this deal with you. We will be monitoring the whole situation here
in our bank until you confirm the money in your account. And ask us to come
over to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to
percentages previously indicated and further investment of ours, either in
your country or any country you may advice us to invest. I suggest you get
