I am Mr.Adamu Neda the Regional Bank Manager of Intrnational Commercial
Bank.

Mr. Leonard Spires Jeter,who used to work with Shell Petroleum Development
Company in Nigeria(SPDC),On the 21st of April 2003, my client,his wife and
their three children were involved in a car accident along Sagamu/Lagos
Express Road,unfortunately
they all lost their lives in the event of the accident.

since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my client's extended
relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives
over the Internet to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence
I my contacting you.


I am contacting you to assist in repartriating the money left behind
by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
bank where this huge deposits were lodged.Particularly,here in my Bank where
the deceased has an account valued at about US$19M(Ninteen million dollars).

since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the the relatives/Next of Kin
for over 2 years now,I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin
to the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$19M can
be paid to you and then you and I can share the money, 55% to me and 40%
to you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your Government may require.

I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim
we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

Please get in touch with me by return email indicate your full interest
