Dear Sir,

and I urge you to treat it serious. We want to transfer fund to overseas
account the sum of ($30,000.000.00 USD) Thirty Million United States
Dollars) from a Bank here in Nigeria West African.
I want to ask you, If you are not capable to quietly look for a reliable and
honest person who will be capable and fit to provide either an existing bank
account or to set up a new Bank account immediately to receive this fund,
even an empty account can serve to receive this fund, as long as you will

you and believing in God that you will never let me down either now or in
future.
I AM CHIEF ELIAS E.NWOSU I WORK WITH FIDELITY BANK PLC NIGERIA.
During the course of our auditing last week, I discovered a floating fund in
an account opened in the bank in 1997 and since 1999 till date, nobody has
operated on this account again, after going through some old files in the
records I discovered that the owner of the account died without a
beneficiary to the account hence the money is floating and if I do not remit
this fund out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account is Mr. Morris Thompson, of, Alaska, an American
and a great industrialist, business leader and largest private landowner
resident of Fairbanks, Alaska, who unfortunately lost his life in the plane
crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed, including his wife and
only daughter leaving nobody to claim the fund.
You shall read more news about the crash on visiting this site;
<http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/> and
<http://www.alaskaair.com/E_latest.asp>
No other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the
account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well
that the account is a secret account. The total amount involve is Thirty
Million United States Dollars only [$30,000.000.00] and I wish to transfer
this fund into a safe foreigners account abroad. But I don't know any
foreigner; I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this fund cannot
be approved to a local person here, but to a foreigner who has information
about the account, which I shall give to you upon your positive response. I
am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let me down
in this business, you are the first and the only person that I am contacting
for this business. So, please reply urgently so that I will inform you the
next step to take urgently.
I need your strong assurance that you will never let us down, me and a key
bank official who is deeply involved with me in this business. I guarantee
that this transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. The bank official will destroy
all documents of transaction immediately we receive this money leaving no
trace to any place. I will use my position and influence to obtain all legal
approvals for onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate
clearance from the relevant ministries and foreign exchange departments.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 30% of the total
amount, 60% will be for me, while 10% will be for expenses both parties
might have incurred during the process of transferring.
Furthermore, the transaction is Risk Free, there is no risk involved and the
utmost paramount of this transaction is Secret and Confidential due to my 15
years of meritious service with the Fidelity Bank Plc. Which I don’t want it
