Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mr. JOHN HENRY, Provincial Director STANDARD TRUST BANK
of Nigeria,Ikoyi Branch. I have an urgent and very
confidential business proposition for you.
On June 6, 1999, A foreign Oil consultant/contractor with
the NIigeria Mining Corporation, Mr. Charles Andason made a
numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months,
valued at US$25,000,000.00 (Twenty-five Million Dollars) in
my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to
his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we
sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract
employers, the NIGERIA Mining Corporation that Mr. Charles
Andason died from an
automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out
that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to
trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that
Mr. Charles Andason did not declare any kin or relations in
all his official documents,including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$25,000,000.00 is still
sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over
with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will
ever come forward to claim it. According to Nigeria Law, at
the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to
the ownership of the NIGERIA Government if nobody applies to
claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as an
American to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Charles
Andason so that the fruits of this oldman's labor will not
get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your
full names and address so that the Attorney will prepare the
necessary documents and affidavits which will put you in
place as the next of kin/beneficiary to his estate. We
shall employ the service of Attorneys to
process the necessary documents and letter of
Probate/administration in your favor in order for the
transfer to take place. A bank account in any part of the
world which you will provide will then facilitate the
transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of
kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to
share in the ratio of 60% for me and
40%for you. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for
this transaction will be done by the Attorney and my
position as the Provincial Director guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are
interested, please reply immediately via the private email
address below. You can also reply via my
private/confidential email address.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more
details and relevant documents that will help you understand
the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that
this transaction would be most profitable for both of us
because I shall require your assistance to invest my share
in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply via my email:

Thanks and regards.
