Subject: YOUR CONCENT
--Very Urgent Attention.
Permit me to introduce my humble self.I'm Mr. John Johnson,International Relation Manager in United Bank of Africa {UBA} PLC.I'm 38yrs old.Although you don't know me,i strongly believe this transaction will bring us together.
Late Mr.Anthonio Ghaderi is from USA but based here in Lagos with his wife and his two children.An Engineer with Shell Oil Development Plc.He has been operating a Domiciliary Bank Account with UBA for the past 5yrs.On Sunday 26th of January 2003,the Steven Toba street, G.R.A Ikeja residence of our Client was affected by a terrible explosion at a Military arms depot in an army cantonment in the Ikeja district of Lagos,the blast shook the suburb and claimed the lives of innocent people. Unfortunately over 1000 people lost their lives and our client and his family were among the casualties.View the web page below:

The Board of Directors and Management of United Bank of Africa PLC has instructed me as the Manager of international relations/personal accountant to late Mr. Ghaderi to look for the next of Kin to the funds he deposited in our Bank.His Attorney informed me his first son is his next of kin, but it is quite unfortunate that they all died in that incident. Since August 2003 till date, I have been looking for his relations/relatives to present to the bank as his next of kin.I have contacted the Embassy concerning this issue but they said he has no relatives that they know.
Yesterday after my Director informed me i have 14 more days to provide the Bank with the next beneficiary of the funds.I came to this idea to search for someone from USA and present to the Bank as the extended relative to late Mr. Ghaderi.I found your email address in the internet while searching so I seek your concent to present you to the bank as the next of kin to my late client so that the proceeds of this account valued at USD 2.5M will be transfered to any account of your choice,then we can share the Money.40% for me and 40% for you and 20% for the Attorney's co-operation.
This transaction is simple and 100% risk free.As the Manager for International Relations/Personal Accountant to late Ghaderi, who i present is definitely the one to inherit the Funds since his son is dead,so the USD 2.5M will be transferred to Account of your choice or a certified Cashier's check will be delivered to you or the money will be brought to you cash through courier company.I have also talked to,conived and settled with our late client's Attorney to accept whoever i present to ensure a smooth release of the funds.I will send you my late client's deposit certificate and death certificate which the bank will require from you to present as evidence.If you are interested send me your full Name,contact Address and Phone number so i can inform and meet with the bank's board of Directors on the processing of the transfer.
I count on your co-operation.Johnson John
Manager International Relations
United Bank of Africa {UBA} PLC
