From: Bonniface Adebayo
Central Bank Of Nigeria (CBN)
Tinubu Sqaure, Lagos.
Dear friend,
My name is Bonniface Adebayo. I am the director for
Foreign Operations Department at the Central Bank Of
Nigeria (CBN). I write to disclose to you
a great opportunity through which both of us can work
together and make real big money. I disclose this to
you hoping that you will be able to work with me so
that we can achieve it and also hoping that you can
keep secrets.It is about a LATE foreign contractor
(MR. MORRIS THOMPSON) who did a contract of $7,000,000
(Seven MILLION U.S. DOLLARS) for the Federal Goverment
Of Nigeria (FGN). The money is long over due to be
remitted to his bank account, but no one is to claim
the money. He has no next of kin in his file with the
CBN. There is a provision for next of kin in the form
he filled at CBN but I don know why he did not fill
anybody as his next of kin. I want a trusted and
straight-forward person with whom I will claim this
money, hence I contacted you. To claim the money, you
will assist by providing a very good bank account in
your country and I will take his file and FILL in YOUR
NAME as his Next Of Kin. I have 100% access to the
files because of my position in CBN. Once I will fill
in your name, I will then use a lawyer here to get a
court affidavit to instruct CBN to pay you the
contract amount since you are the Next Of Kin and the
original contractor is dead. It will also instruct CBN
to henceforth communicate with you as the next of kin
in respect of anything regarding the payment. As soon
as the money is remitted to the bank account you will
provide, I will distroy the contractor file at CBN and
all documents relating to his contract and the
payment. For us to claim the money is very easy as
there is no risk involved. I also know what and what
to do to see that the money is remitted to the account
you will provide within five days from the day we
start. I am also aware of the international monitoring
of all large-scale financial movements before and
after the September 11th 2001 terrorist attack on
America and to avoid any state of financial
investigation I will provide a classified clearance
paper from the relevant body which will
exonerate the money from either drug, money laundered
or terrorist related proceeds. I intend to resign my
appoitment with CBN to do fulltime business and I also
have a political ambition in the year 2007 as a
Governor of my state, so I need such money to achieve
it. Once we finalize the deal and the money gets to
your bank account, I will meet you in your country for
the sharing. You will take 40% of the total amount and
I will get 60%. Meanwhile, I want you to understand
that I am not a criminal by doing this deal. It is
just that the opportunity came and I need such money
to pursue my political carrier in the year 2007. I
must let you know that we will not be doing bad to
humanity by claiming this money because, the
contractor did not fill any Next Of Kin in his file.
Since the contractor is dead, if we fail to claim the
money, the money will be retained by the Gvernment.
Therefore, I think it is wise for us to claim it
instead of leaving it for the Government. The late Mr.
Thompson was an American, from the city of Alaska He
died together with his wife and their only daughter
aboard Alaska Airline flight number 261, on 31st of
January, 2003. You can read more about Mr. Morris
Thompson and his family.
Please contact me as soon as you read this message to
let me know your mind about the proposal. Send your
private E-mail address, phone and
fax numbers and your contact address while you
respond. I wait to hear from you.
God bless you.
Best regards,
Bonniface Adebayo
