department Intercontinental Bank Plc Lagos. I write you in respect of a
foreign customer with account number 14-255-2004/CCB/NG.who among others on
board had a plane crash in USA on the 31st October 1999. all on board perish
and died in the plane crash.
Since the demise of this our customer Mr. George shimony a Lebanese import
and export tycoon here in Lagos.I have kept a close monitoring of the
deposit records and accounts since then no body has come to claim the money
in this account as next of kin to the late Mr.George shimony,he has only
$10.5mllion in his account and the account 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.
Based on the reasons that nobody has come for the claims of the deposit as
next of kin, i seek for your co operation to use your name as the next of
kin to the deseased to send this funds out to a foreign off shore bank
account for mutual sharing between me and you only as i am the only one with
the information because I have removed the deposit file from the safe, by
this doing, what is required from you is to send an application seeking
claims of the deposit as next of kin to the late Mr. shimony. I will send
you specimen of application as soon as you confirm your readiness to assist
me move the funds out of the vault of our bank.
Note: the banking rules and regulations in this country does not allow such
deposit to stay more than seven years as an expatriates account , if the
deposit stays more than Seven years the funds will be inherited by Nigerian
government account as unclaimed deposit. in view of this development i beg
for your assistance and full co-operation to come and lay claimed to this
deposit as the next of kin to Mr. George shimony there is no risk involve in
this business as you will be equipped with all vital information of the

been perfected from my side i will supply you with all the account
particulars. I will need your phone number, full name and address company
name and residential address so that I can computerize them totally with
next of kin column in the certificate of deposit.
Finally I want you to understand that the request for a foreigner as the
next of kin is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and
for that only reason a local can not represent as next of kin. I have agreed
to share this money with you in the mutual understanding of 40%/60% you keep
40 while I keep 60.you have merited this percentage because you will provide
the account where we shall finally transfer the funds into on a successful
