evil doings of people of the
world today,which has brought fear and made a lot of people not to engage in
genuine and legitimate
business ventures.i urge you to take your time and read this email very
well.
My Name is MR JOHN NNAMDI, A Banker and an accountant.I am the accounts
Manager to a late
Engineer, a white foreigner whom I have financial dealings with for a long
time now. He was a contractor
with the DEPARTMENT OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES VICTORIA ISLAND, LAGOS. On 10,Dec
2005, my customer/client,his
wife, and his only son were involved in a SOSOLISO AIRLINE CRASH.
My client and his family all died in that fatal air crash. Since then,I have
made several attempts and
inquiries to locate any of his extended Relatives,but this has Proved
unsuccessful.
After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace a good and reliable
Person over the Internet,
that can help me in repatriating this fund left behind in our Bank since the
bank i work for and where the
funds is at present intend to declare the funds unservicable if nobody come
for the money.
I am contacting you to assist me in repatriating this money left behind by
my Customer/client before they
get Confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where these huge
deposit was lodged, particularly this
Bank that I am presently working, Where the deceased had an account Valued
at TWENTY MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS,The Bank has issued a notice to provide the next of kin or
have the account
confiscated within a short period of time.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives of my client,I now
seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this
account valued at TWENTY
MILLION,FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS (US$20,500,000) will be transferred
into your account and we will
share the funds according to an agreed ratio. I have arranged everything and
you will not engage in anything that is illegal.I have made arrangements
with
a good Attorney to assist us.

documents that can be used to back
up the inheritance claim.
