GOOD DAY DEAR FRIEND,

I MUST APOLOGIZE TO YOU FOR USING THIS MEDIUM TO COMMUNICATE TO YOU ABOUT THIS PROJECT.
I AM SORRY IF THIS LETTER COMES TO YOU AS AN EMBARRASSMENT BUT BE REST ASSURED THAT YOUR PARTICULARS OF CONTACT WAS GIVEN TO ME BY A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE WHO WORK WITH THE NIGERIA CHAMPERS OF COMMERCE, FOR RELIABLE AND CAPABLE FOREIGNER THAT WILL HANDLE CONFIDENTIALLY A TRANSFER OF HUGE SUM OF MONEY, FROM ZENITH INTERNATIONAL BANK OF NIGERIA PLC, TO A FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNT.
I AM BARRISTER JOHN LARRY AN AFRICAN BORN NIGERIAN CITIZEN AND AM THE PERSONAL ATTRONEY TO LATE MR. SUNNY ZHONG , A FOREIGN NATIONALITY, WHO USED TO WORK WITH JULIUS BERGER NIGERIA PLC. ON 19TH AUGUST 2002, OUR LATE CUSTOMER LATE MR.SUNNY ZHONG WAS INVOLVED IN A GHASTLY MOTOR ACCIDENT WITH HIS FAMILY NORTH WARDS TO LEEDS DURING WHICH HE LOST HIS LIFE WITH HIS WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN.

SUNNY ZHONG TO ENABLE US PLACE CLAIMS ON HIS DEPOSITED TOTAL SUM OF (US$18.500.000.00), HE DEPOSITED IN A GOOD BANK FOR SAFE KEEPING BEFORE HIS UNTIMELY DEATH. I AM CONTACTING YOU TO ASSIST IN REPATRIATING THE STATED SUM HE LEFT BEHIND BEFORE THEY GET CONFISCATED OR DECLARED UNSERVICEABLE BY THE BANK.
THIS INTENSION BECOMES VERY URGENT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE BANKING LAWS AND POLICY HERE IN NIGERIA STIPULATES AND PROVIDES THAT IF SUCH FUNDS REMAINS UNCLAIMED AFTER FIVE YEARS, THAT BANK IS LEGALLY EMPOWERED TO FREEZE SUCH ACCOUNTS AND THE FUND TRANSFERRED INTO THE FEDERAL RESERVE ACCOUNT AS UNCLAIMED FUND. RECENTLY THE ZENITH INTERNATIONAL BANK OF NIGERIA PLC ISSUED A NOTICE OF CONFISCATION, AS THE ACCOUNT HAD REMAINED UNSERVICEABLE SINCE 2002, I WAS SUBSEQUENTLY GIVEN A MANDATE OF 21 OFFICIAL BANKING DAYS TO PRODUCE A NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED OR CONSIDER THE ACCOUNT FROZEN.
DUE TO TIME CONSTRAIN AND THE FACT THAT I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IN LOCATING ANY RELATIVE TO MY CLIENT, I THEN WISH TO SEEK YOUR CONSENT TO PRESENT YOU AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED CLIENT OF MINE. SO THAT THE PROCEEDURES OF THIS ACCOUNT VALUED AT US$18.500.000.00 CAN BE RELEASED THROUGH YOU, OUR GENERAL BENEFIT INSTEAD OF ALLOWING HIS SWEAT GET LOST IN THE BANK, BE INFORMED THAT I HAVE IN MY POSSESSION ALL NECESSARY INFORMATION THAT WE SHALL REQUIRE TO BACK-UP OUR CLAIMS.

ALL THESE WILL ENABLE ME FILL IN YOUR NAMES AS THE BANK WILL REQUIRE ALL THIS FROM YOU IN FUTURE. SO YOU CAN CONTACT ME ON MY PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS: (kholabrad@hotmail.com) STATED AS FOLLOWS,TO ENABLE US COMMENCE ACTIONS ON THIS DEAL INSTANTLY. YOUR GENUINE HONEST COOPERATION IS REQUIRED TO ENABLE US ACHIEVE THIS PURPOSE; I GUARANTEE THAT THE ENTIRE TRANSACTION WILL a BE EXECUTED UNDER A LEGITIMATE ARRANGEMENTS OF TIME.
