Dear Friend,
I am Mrs. Ubam Ubam Bank Manager of Savannah Security&finance company
Plc.Lagos, Nigeria. I have urgent and a very confidential business proposal
for you, but how do one explain the situation in Nigeria where there are
lots of Miscreants and this has made it difficult for me to contact any one
about this transaction, hence I deem it necessary that peradventure you are
not interested with this information/proposal, that you let me know by a
return mail, infact a lot has been said and a lot of efforts has been put in
by the government and private /financial institutions to sanitize our
Environments.
However my proposal is about what is on ground, and is genuine, and the deal
is as follows, On June 6, 1997, a Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Barry Kelly made a number of
(Fixed) deposits of twelve calendar months, valued at US$20,000,000.00
(Twenty Million Dollars only) 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, the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that Mr. Barry Kelly 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 therefore I made further investigation and discovered that Mr.
Barry Kelly did not declare any next of kin or any relation in all his
official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$20,000,000.00 is now in our affliate bank in London waiting
for the next of kin of Mr. Barry Kelly to come forward and claim it.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a Foreigner to stand as
the next of kin of Mr. Barry Kelly owner of the money but we must provide
all necessary documents before you will claim the fund.
This transaction will cost us some money for proper documentations/records
process from the Nigerian national petroleum corporation, and all the
ministries, which Mr. Barry Kelly worked. So please take note that this is
not a child's play. I will like you to provide immediately (1) your full
names (2) your private Telephone/fax numbers (3) your address (5) your age
and occupation so that I will use it to get all the necessary documents that
will back-up the claim which I will send to you through courier services
(D.H.L).
I have some money with me which I will use in providing the necessary
documents and but if the money that I have at hand is not enough to get all
the documents, you have to help me financially but I think the money will be
enough to get the documents.
The money will be share in the ratio of 90% for me and 10% for you. If you
are interested, please reply immediately through my confidential email
addresses: ubam@rakovski.net email: ubam@miho-nakayama.com
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details. Please
observe with utmost confidentiality, 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 and also it is 100%
risk-free. It will not in any way implicate you or tarnish your image, so do
not entertain any fear whatsoever and do not disclose or discuss it with
anybody to avoid any leakage.
Note: It is not compulsory that you must go to London for the claim of the
fund.
Thanks and regards.
Mrs. Ubam Ubam
