Good day!
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings, and I hope this mail meets you in good time. However strange or surprising this contact might seem to you, as we have not met personally or had any dealings in the past, I humbly ask that you take due consideration of its importance and immense benefit. 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 Union Bank of Nigeria plc, to a foreign bank account.

On 19th August 2000, 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. Unfortunately, since we got the information about his sudden death and the ugly incident that occurred, the management of my bank has made several enquiries on Locating any of his extended relatives who can stand as his Next of Kin to inherit an estate he left behind in our custody but all these several efforts also proved unsuccessful and yielded no Results. As the Cheif accountant of the bank, I also made concerted efforts aimed at locating a possible Next of Kin to my deceased client.

deposited in my 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 the Bank is legally empowered to freeze such accounts and the fund transferred into the Federal Reserve Account as unclaimed Fund.
Recently the Union Bank Nigeria Plc issued a notice of confiscation, as the account had remained unserviceable since 2000, 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 proceeds of this account valued at US$18.500.000.00 can be released through you for 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.
I shall furnish you with further details as soon as you have indicated your interest to render the desired assistance. Bear in mine that 60% of the fund is for me why 30% is for you and 10% is for tax and other things that will come up doing the transaction. you are urgently required to send to me.
1)Your Full Name and Address
2)Your Bank Name/Address/account number
3)Your telephone for easy cmmunication's
All these will enable me fill in your names at the bank as the original next of kin to my Late, client .You can contact me on my above private telephone line or email address 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 be executed under a legitimate arrangements
