Subject: dear friend
Dear friend,
Compliments of the season and I hope this email meets you in good health. I
have a proposal for you, this however is not mandatory nor will I in any
manner compel you to honour against your will. I am Mr Aliu Afeez, and I
work with the Standard Trust Bank PLC, Lagos - Nigeria.
A dormant account which belongs to my client/an oil consultant named
Engineer Mr. Wilfred, who is a national of your country but now deceased,
and for over 3 years the account has been dormant now. He made a numbered
time [Fixed Deposit] on
December 5, 2000 valued at US$6 Million [Six Million US Dollars], for a
duration of eighteen [18] calendar months at my bank. Upon maturity, I sent
a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
I sent a reminder and finally I found out from his contract employers viz,
the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that he died along with his wife
and their only child in the bomb blast incidence that took place at the
Ikeja Military Cantonment, Lagos on Sunday, 27th January, 2002.
For confirmation, please refer to the link below:

Since his death, I personally have watched with keen interest to see the
next of kin come for the claim but no one showed up. All efforts to contact
them proved abortive as no one has come to claim his funds and no other
person knows about this account or anything concerning the account. I hereby
seek your assistance in repatriating the fund before it gets confisticated
or declared unserviceable by my bank where the client had an account balamce
value at about $6 Million US Dollars. The banking ethics here does not allow
such money to stay more than 5 years without claim hence the money will be
recalled to the government treasury as unclaimed after this long period of
dormancy.
It is pertinent that you inform me if you are interested. I seek a very
honest and reliable person, so that the fund can be paid to you, then me and
you can share the money according to the ratio below: 60% of the fund to me
and to you 40% of the total transfer sum.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this transaction
through. I do guarantee you that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law.
Sincerely,
Aliu Afeez
