I Am Mr. Nkem Klandi, Group Managing Director/Chief Executive of Afribank Nigeria Plc.
I am writing you this letter to ask for your support and co-operation to carry out this business opportunity in my bank.
We discovered an unclaimed sum of $8.4Million (Eight point four million dollars) in an account belonging to one of our customer Mr
Cho Minja.
On the 6th of August 1997, he was among those passengers aboard who died in a plane crash (Korean Air Flight 801). For your verification

Since we got information about his death we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money.
Unfortunately, neither the family nor the relation has appeared to claim this money. We cannot release this money unless somebody
applies as the next of kin or relation to the deceased.
Our banking guidelines indicated that if such money remained unclaimed for a period of ten (10) years, it would be transferred
into the Afribank Treasury as unclaimed fund.
Another officer and I in the bank now decided to transfer this money into your account as the next of kin or relation of the deceased for easy collection since nobody is coming for it and we don?t want this money to go back into the bank treasury as an unclaimed fund.
Infact it is my friend that advised me to urgently arrange to transfer out this money through another foreign beneficiary outside
the country.
Upon your acceptance to this proposal, we have also agreed on a sharing Ration:
1.25% for you as the account owner 2.70% for I and my colleagues and 5% would be set aside for any miscellanous expenses that might come up in the course of transfering to your account.
Furthermore we shall be coming over to your country when the money is finally in your account and we shall be relying on your advise as
regards, to investment of our share, be informed that this transaction is genuine and 100% risk free considering the top level
bank officials involved.
As you know that I enjoy good office here with the bank and I will use my personality to make the official application on your behalf
for approval of this money into your nominated account thereby having the bank transfer this money into your bank account.
I will advice that you furnish me with the necessary details for me to make the official application of claim on your behalf as the next
of kin and beneficiary of this money with out wasting time.
Here are the details I will need to make the application.
(1)Your Full Name.
(2)Your Contact Address.
(3Your phone & Fax Number for effective communication.
(4)Age, & Occupation.
(5)Religion.
This is to effect the swift transfer of this fund into your account in less than (7) working days.
Waiting for your urgent response.

Mr. Nkem Klandi.
Group Managing Director/Chief Executive.
