Dear Friend, I am Mr.Tom Bello,Bank Manager of Owena bank ltd,Lagos branch.I got your contact from the world trade center (WTC) Regional office in lagos,Nigeria.Although the details of my intention was not made known to them. Actually,I listed your name amongst four other names and prayed over them and decided to contact you directly. I have a very urgent and confidential bussiness proposal for you and for our overall mutual interest. On june 6 1997,an American oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Mr Barry Kelly made a numbered time(fixed) deposit for twelve calendar months valued at USD$5,000,000.00( five million dollars) in my branch.Upon maturity,i sent a routine notification to his forwarded address but got no reply. After a month we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers NNPC that Mr Barry died in an automobile accident. On further investigation,i found out that he did not leave a WILL & all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and i discovered that Mr Barry did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents including his bank deposit paperwork. This sum USD$5,000,000.00 is still floating 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 Nigerian Laws. At the expiration of seven 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 a next of kin of Mr Barry Kelly. This is simple, (1) I will like you to provide me immediately with your full names,house address and your private telephone number so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits which will put you as next of kin. ( 2) We shall employ the services of two attorneys for drafting and notification of the WILL and obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favour for the transfer. 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 the attorney and my position will do the paperwork for this transaction as the branch manager i guarantee the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested please reply immediately via this private email address. Upon your response,I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand. PLEASE OBSERVE UTMOST CONFIDENTIALITY,and be rest assured that this would be most profitable for both of us because i shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country. Awaiting for your urgent reply. Please save me the anxiety of endless waiting. God bless you. Mr.Tom Bello.
