Subject: YOUR ATTENTION IS NEEDED URGENTLY


Dear friend,

I hope this email meets you in good condition of health. I am Mr. Isah sally, the manager of the Standard Trust Bank PLC., Lagos - Nigeria.
I got your contact through a detailed search over the internet. I need your assistance on this project that would be beneficial to you and I. An oil consultant and contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation named Engineer Mr. Henry - who made a numbered time on December 5, 2000, valued at US$6 Million , for a duration of twelve <12> calender months at my bank. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. Subsequent month, I sent a reminder and finally I found out from his contract employers viz, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that he died along with his wife and only child in the Ikeja bomb blast of the January 27, 2002.
On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that the deceased 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$6 Million is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.
No one will ever come forward to claim this funds! And according to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 4 years, the money will revert to the ownership of the bank's treasury if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently, my proposal to you is that I would want you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to the deceased since you bear the same last name - so that the fruits of this old man's labour would not go in vain.
This is simple, I would appreciate it if you dare to furnish me with your full names so that an attorney can prepare all the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the service of an attorney here in Nigeria for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as he 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 a reputable attorney and my position as a senior official at the bank guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are willing to assist and are capable, please reply immediately and upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details that will help you see the light regarding this transaction. Please observe utmost confidentiality for I am still in the employ of the bank, and be 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 prompt response.

Sincerely,

Mr ISAH SALLY
