Dear VICTIMNAME ,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction;this is by virtue
of its nature as being utterly confidentia as i awaits your call and urgent

Nigeria,he was our good customer when he was alive.On the 21st April
2000,this customer,his wife And their three children were involved in a car
accident along sagbama express road. All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost there lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of
his extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful After these several
unsuccessful attempts,I decided to track his last name over the Internet,to
locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating the money and property
left behind by this customer before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where he deposited the sum of US$18,500,000
dollars .
The banking guidelines of CITI BANK PLC stipulates that if such money
remained unclaimed for over a period of time with the account unserviceable
the money will be confiscated if nobody comes for the money,Since i have not
seen any body for the claim of this money and his property for the last FOUR
years and i have been notifying the Rotary club for the past TWO years.
Now I seek your consent to present yourself as THE RELATION and the next of
kin of the deceased since you have the same last name with the family.The
proceeds of this account valued at US$18,500,000 dollars can be paid to you
and then you and myself can share this money. I guarantee that this will be
executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach
of the law.
Please, I like to have your FULL NAMES/ADDRESS AND DATE OF BIRTH/NATURE OF
YOUR OCCUPATION TOGETHER WITH YOUR PHONE AND FAX NUMBER ASAP.REPLY TO THIS
E-MAIL ADDRESS:
