Subject: From Dr. Adolphus Ofor
From Dr. Adolphus OforUniun Bank Of Nigeria ILupeju Branch, Lagos,Nigeria. I am Dr. Adolphus Ofor,Branch Manager with Uniun Bank Of Nigeria ILupeju Branch, Lagos, Nigeria.I have an urgent and very profitable business proposition for you that should be handled with extreme confidentiality. On January 6,1998 a Foreign Consultant and contractor with the Nigerian Petrolum Corporation Mr. Abbas Gumarri by name made a numbered time Fixed Deposit for twelve calendar months valued at US$20,500,000.00 (TWENTY MILLION FIVE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS) in my branch. Upon maturity I sent a routine notification in accordance with the Bank policy to his forwarding address but got no reply.After a month we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers Nigerian National Petrolum Corporation that Mr. Abbas Gumarri, died from Kenya Air Bus (A310-301) Flight KQ431,.On further investigation, we found out that he died without making a Will and all attempts to trace his
next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigations and discovered that Mr.Abbas Gumarri did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.This sum of US$20,500,000.00 has been carefully moved out of my bank to a Financial and Security Company in Europe for safekeeping. No one will ever come forward to claim it and according to the Law of my country, at the expiration of 15 years the money will revert to the ownership of the State (Government) if nobody applies to claim the fund. This prompted i to contact you. We want to frontyou as the next of kin of our late client thereby making you the legal beneficiary of the sum of US$20,500,000.00 U.S Dollars that is presently in a Financial and Security Company in Europe. I contacted you because it is against our code of ethics to own and operate foreign accounts and your assistance would be needed to claim the money in the Financial and Security
Company in Europe. I have unanimously agreed that 25% of the entire sum would be for you if you agree to take part in this profitable transaction,65% for me while the remaining 10% would be used to pay back the expenses that may be incurred during the course of the transaction by both parties after the fund has been claimed and lodged in your account. In the event that you are genunely interested in the transaction, the following information would be needed from you to expedite action.1) Your Full Name . 2) Your Residential or Company Address. 3) Age/Sex 4) Your Private Mobile,Telphone and Fax numbers where you can be reached at all time because this transaction entailsconstant communication.The transaction is 100% legal and totally free of risks as all modalities has been perfected to ensurethe hitch free succesof the transaction. If you are interested, send the requested information via my private email in my next mail i will send you my identitity card for identification.
God Bless, Dr. Adolphus Ofor.
