From Dennis Johnson

Good Day,
I am MR Dennis Johnson , consultant to a deceased person a national of your
country, who used to be a contractor to Nigerian Petroleum company (NNPC)
.I obtained your address particulars from an Internet address listing.
Please exercise some patience and read through my message. THIS IS NOT A
SPAM MAIL!. I have very urgent and confidential business proposition for
you. On the
21st of April 2002, my Boss,his wife and his only SON,were involved in a
car accident along ABUJA/Lagos ExpressRoad.Unfortunately they all lost
their lives in the event of the accident, Since then I have made several
enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of his extended relatives, this has
also proved unsuccessful.
On June 6th 1997, My Boss,Who was an Oil consultant/Contractor with Shell
Petroluem Corporation, made a numbered time ( fixed) deposit for 12
calendar months, value USD18,500,000.00 in one of the banks in Nigeria. On
maturity, The Bank sent a routine notification to my Boss forwarding
address and I received it and noticed that it was letter of Notification
investment maturity he made with the Bank.
After a month, The Bank sent a reminder and finally, I had to inform the
Bank Of My Boss death through my Boss"s contract employers, Shell Petroluem
company who wrote to inform the bank that my Boss ,died from an automobile
accident; that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace my
Boss next of kin were fruitless.
However, the point is that no body is aware of this money , and therefore it
can be safely assumed that no one will ever come forward to claim this
money. This money total USD18.5m ( inclusive of accrued interests) is still
sitting in the Bank in the Dormant Account Portfolio. No one will ever come
forward to claim it now, and according to Nigerian law, after 5 years, the
money will automatically revert to the Federal Government Treasury if the
Account owner is a foreigner, is certified dead , and there is no valid
claim. This indeed, is the situation. My proposal therefore is that I am
looking for a foreigner who will stand in as the next of kin to my Boss,It
is not necessary to be a blood relation to my Boss .I have worked out the
modalities to achieve my aim of appointing a next of kin, and therefore
also by this means transfer this money total USD18.5m abroad for us to
share.
The method of achieving the objective of transferring this money abroad in a
completely legal and proper way is simple. I intend to use a n Attorney
(representing you as BENEFICIARY) to execute a series of affidavits in
support of your claim. These will be approved. The money transfer paperwork
itself will include a certificate of origin so that the receiving bank does
not ask questions or refuse the money as money laundering. Also, the
paperwork will include proper certification that the funds being
transferred are from non criminal sources. In short this will be a proper
and legal money transfer and there is no risk! I will have to process the
initial paperwork to obtain approval from the Probate Registry ( Ministry
of Justice ) to obtain the Letter of Administration empowering you as Sole
trustee/executor to the Estate .If you therefore agree to be the official
Beneficiary, then please note that you will not be required to sign any
Money Transfer Documents ( An Attorney will do all (that), you will not be
required to come to Nigeria. Only the following is required from you: (1)
Send to me immediately A bank account ( a bank account with zero credit
balance is ok) (2) Complete name and address of the Bank (3) Bank Account
Number (4) Name of Account Holder/Beneficiary (5) Your address, phone and
fax
Once you send me the requested information as above, I will initiate the
processing of the approvals of the transfer and in about 14 working days the
money total USD18.5m will be in your nominated bank account for us to
share in the ratio of 65% for me and 35% for you. This transaction is
guaranteed to succeed without any problems. If you agree to assist me by
sending me the above requested information, I will give you my complete
address, including phone/ fax etc and any further clarifications you may
require.
Looking forward to your urgent reply through this email only:

Sincerely yours,
Dennis Johnson
