ACCOUNTANT SESSION 1112 67LAG
REPLY THIS MAIL AS IT GET TO YOU:Bart
My name is Mr Don Collins I work in the credit and accounts department of (WEMA BANK 50MEGS PLC), Nigeria. I write you in respect of a foreign customer with our bank, before his sudden death.His name is (Mr.Benbruce Bart),He was among those who died in a plane crash here in Nigeria in the year 2002. since the demise of this our customer,(Mr.Benbruce Bart) deposit records and accounts and since then no body has come to claim the money in this a/c as next of kin to the late Engineer.
He had only $15.5mllion in his a/c and the a/c is coded. It is only an insider that could produce the code or password of the Deposit particulars. As it stands now, there is nobody in that position to produce the needed information other than my very self considering my position in the bank as his account officer.Based on the reason that nobody has come forward to claim the deposit as next of kin,
I hereby ask for your cooperation in using your name as the next of kin to the deceased to send these funds out to a foreign offshore bank a/c for mutual sharing between myself and you. At this point I am the only one with the information because I have removed the deposit file from the safe. By this doing,what is required of you is to send an application laying claims of the deposit as next of kin to the deceased officially to the director of our bank.I will need your full name and address,telephone and fax number for the processing of the transfer in your name and favour.

Finally i want you to understand that the request for a foreigner as the next of kin is Occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and for that reason alone a Nigerian cannot represent as next of kin. When you contact me,then we shall discuss on how the money will be split between us and you will get more details about the deal.Trusting to hear from you and reply back to my alternative email address for security purposes,don_collins20@yahoo.com
I remain Respectfully yours,
Mr.Don Collins
