ACCESS BANK PLC
Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Engr.Austin E Peter; I am the new Information and Database analyst of the Treasury/Payment Investigation Department of Access Bank Plc.
I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank who died on Wednesday, July 13, 2005; Posted: 1:02 p.m. EDT (17:02GMT). He was among the unfortunate London bomb victims identified few months back.
There is an account opened in this bank in 1998 by this great late industrialist who died without a written or oral will attached to his account and payment files. The total amount involved is USD18.5Million which is completely lying dormant without anybody�s notice. I came to know about this when I was compiling and preparing out-going payments files in my department.
I have decided to contact you through this medium because in my further investigation, I found out that this fund is genuine with all legal backings in the name of the deceased customer who nobody up till now knows anything about except me. Therefore, I've withdrawn my submission paper for conversion of the funds to the access bank Treasury, which several payments have suffered because of fraud irregularities in Nigeria.
I decided to seek for a reliable foreigner who will act as the foreign beneficiary of the fund from the deceased by providing his/her personal information which I will use to change all the previous Database Information of the Beneficiary of the fund in the entire access bank System Network Software�s throughout the whole access bank branches in Nigeria.
This way, the beneficiary of the fund would be legally and otherwise authenticated in your name I therefore contacted you on trust and with complete confidence that you should as a matter of utmost importance keep this project very confidential as I promise to organize and package the project using my good office under a very clean and legitimate approach that would protect both of us from any breach of the law both here and in your country. It is absolutely risk free but requires trust and honesty.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you details information about the transaction. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this project should not be entertained by any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within 7 to 9 banking days, after you apply to the bank as the
beneficiary of the funds from the deceased through me.
When you receive this letter. Kindly send me an e-mail through my email address You should also send your private phone numbers for easy and safe communication.
Please contact me through my private email address

Respectfully yours,
Engr.Austin E. Peter,
Database Analyst/Information Technology.
