Dear Friend, 
I am Mbang Mark, Bank Manager of ZENITH BANK OF NIGERIA, Lagos Branch. I have urgent and very 
confidential business proposition for you. On June 6 1999, an American oil consultant/contractor 
with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Barry Kelly made a numbered time (Fixed) 
deposited for twelve calendar months, valued at (TWENTY FIVE 
Million United States 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, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that Mr. Barry Kelly died from 
an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out 
that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. 
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Barry Kelly did not declare any next 
of kin in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork. This sum of 
US$25,000,000.00 is still sitting in the Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the 
principal sum at the end of each year. No one will come forward to claim it. According to the 
Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the 
Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. 
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to 
Mr. Barry Kelly so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some 
corrupt officials. This is simple I will like you to provide me immediately with 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. We shall employ the services of two attorneys for 
drafting and notarization of the WILL and obtain the necessary documents and letter of 
probate/administration in your favour the transfer. 
A bank account in any part of the world, which you 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 Branch Manager 
guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply 
immediately via email. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant 
documents that will help you understand. 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 email: 
Best regards, 
Mbang Mark.
