LAGOS-NIGERIA.
DEAR SIR
I AM DR.DELE OKOLIE, BANK MANAGER OF OCEANIC BANK OF
NIGERIA LAGOS BRANCH.
I HAVE URGENT AND VERY CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS
PPROPOSITION FOR YOU.
ON JUNE 6TH, 2000, A CANADIAN OIL CONSULTANT / CONTRACTOR WITH THE
NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM COPORATION, MR, BARRY KELLY MADE A NUMBERED TIME
(FIX) DEPOSIT FOR TWELVE CALENDAR MONTHS VALUED AT US$25,000, 000.00.
(TWENTY? FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) IN MY BRANCH.
UPON MATURITY I SENT A ROUTINE NOTIFICATION TO HIS
FORWARDING ADDRESS BUT GOT NO REPLY.
AFTER A MONTH, WE SENT A REMINDER AND FINALY WE
DISCOVERED FROM HIS CONTRACT EMPLOYERS THE NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM
CORPORATION THAT MR, BARRY KELLY DIED FROM AN AUTO MOBILE ACCEDENT.
ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FIND OUT THAT HE DIED
WITHOUT MAKING A WILL, AND ALL ATTEMPTS TO TRACE HIS
NEXT OF KIN WAS FRUITLESS.
I THEREFORE MADE FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND DISCOVERED
THAT MR, BARRY KELLY DID NOT DECLARE ANY KIN OR RELATIONS IN ALL HIS
OFFICAIL DOCUMENTS INCLUDING HIS BANK DEPOSIT PAPER WORK IN MY BANK.
THIS SUM OF US$25,000,000.00. IS STILL SITTING IN MY
BANK AND THE INTEREST IS BEING ROLED OVER WITH THE PRINCIPAL SUM AT THE
END OF EACH YEAR.
NO ONE WILL EVER COME FORWARD TO CLAIM IT.
ACCORDING TO NIGERIAN LAW, ATTHE EXPIRATION OF 5(FIVE) YEARS, THE MONEY
WILL REVERT TO THE OWNERSHIP OF THE NIGERIAN GORVERNMENT IF NOBODY APPLIES
TO CLAIM THE FUND.
CONSEQUENTLY, MY PROPOSAL IS THAT I WILL LIKE YOU AS A
FOREIGNER TO STAND IN AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO MR, BARRY KELLY SO THAT THE
FRUITS OF THIS OLD MAN?S LABOUR WILL NOT GET INTO THE HANDS OF SOME CORRUPT
GORVERNMENT OFFICIALS.
THIS IS SIMPLE, I WILL LIKE YOU TO PROVIDE IMMEDIATELY
YOUR FULL NAMES AND ADDRESS SO THAT THE ATTORNEY WILL PREPARE THE
NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND AFFIDAVITS WHICH WILL PUT YOU IN PLACE AS THE NEXT
OF
KIN.
WE SHALL EMPLOY THE SERVICE OF TWO ATTORNEY FOR DRAFTING
AND NOTARIZATION OF THE WILL AND TO OBTAIN THE NECESSARY
DOCUMENTS AND LETER OF PROBATE/ ADMINISTRATION IN YOUR FAVOUR FOR THE
TRANSFER.
A BANK ACCOUNT IN ANY PART OF THE WORLD WHICH YOU WILL
PROVIDE WILL THEN FACILITATE THE TRANSFER OF THIS MONEY TO YOU AS THE
BENEFICAIRY/ NEXTOF KIN.
THE MONEY WILL BE PAID INTO YOUR ACCOUNT FOR US TO SHARE
IN THE RATIO OF 60% FOR ME AND 40% FOR YOU.
THERE IS NO RISK ATALL AS ALL THE PAPER WORK FOR THIS
TRANSACTION WILL BE DONE BY THE ATTORNEY AND MY POSITION AS THE BRANCH
MANAGER GUARANTEES THE SUCCESSFUL EXECUTION OF THIS TRANSACTION.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, PLEASE REPLY IMMEDIATELY VIA THE
PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS BELLOW.
YOU CAN ALSO REPLY VIA MY PRIVATE FAX NUMBER OR YOU CALL
ME ON MYPRIVATE TELEPHONE NUMBER : 234_8037156543 UPON
YOUR RESPONSE, I SHALL THEN PROVIDE YOU WITH MORE
DETAILS AND RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT WILL HELP YOU
UNDERSTAND THE TRANSACTION.
PLEASE OBSERVE UTMOST CONFIDENTIALITY, AND REST ASSURED
THAT THISTRANSACTION WILL BE MOST PROFITABLE FOR BOTH OF US BECAUSE I
SHALL REQUIRE YOUR ASSISTANCE TO INVEST MY
SHARE IN YOUR COUNTRY.
AWAITING YOUR URGENT REPLY VIA EMAIL OR THROUGH MY
PRIVATE PHONE NUMBER.
