Upon maturity, we 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 that Mr. Claude Brian Best died from an automobile
accident.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 Mr. Claude Brian

his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.This sum of US$11,500,000.00 is still
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 it. In accordance
with the Nigerian Federal Law,at the expiration of 4 (four) years, the money
will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies
to claim the fund.

next of kin to Mr. Claude Brian Best so that you and i can benefit from
the fruits of this old man's labour to enhance Humanitarian Organisation
Worldwide.upon accecptance, I shall send to you either by fax or e-mail
a scan copy of the first atlantic trust bank plc "Next of Kin Payment Application
Form"as well the Detailed Information on how this business would successfully
transacted.We shall employ the services of an attorney for the drafting
and notorization of the WILL and to obtain all the relevant papers in your
name for the necessary documentations for payment approval in my bank headquaters
and in your favour.
The money will be share in the ratio of 60% for me, 35% for you and 5% for
any arising contingencies during the process of this transaction.There is
no risk involved as i will use my position as the Bank Branch Manager to
