Dear Friend,
I feel quite safe dealing with you in this business proposition having
gone through your remarkable profile on the internet. Though, this medium
(Internet) has been greatly abused, I choose to reach you through it because
it still remains the fastest, surest and most secured medium of communication.
However, this correspondence is purely private, and it should be treated
as such. I also guarantee you that this deal is hitch free from all what
you may think of.
I am MR. CHRISTAIN UBABUIKE, the HEAD of TREASURY/ CREDIT UNIT in the UNION
BANK PLC, NIGERIA. I am contacting you based on Trust and confidentiality
that will be attached to this deal. The Management and the Legal department
of our BANK (UNION BANK BANK PLC, NIGERIA) in a recent meeting, recommended
that the account of MR. ROBERT FINKELSTEIN, who was one of my branch depositor,
should be Dormant and confisticated and deposited into the Bank's Treasury
according to Nigeria Banking and Financial law. He is a foreigner based in
Nigeria, unfortunately He is late as he was amongst those that was killed
in the recent WARRI CRISIS as you can confirm through this website http://www.worldpress.org/Africa/1083.cfm
He is an account holder in my branch, he owns a dollar account with the sum
of US$35M (Thirty Five MillionUnited States Dollars Only) deposited in account.
In fact it happened that since her death, the next of kin of the dollar account
holder (the brother) has not show up for the claim. This is where I am interested
on and this is where I want you to come in. I want you to come in as the
relation of the deceased, I will give you necessary assistance and perfect
the Legal Authentication documents which will officially recognise you as
a relation to the deceased. Then, I will give you the contact of the Payment
Authority and you will write an application for the claims as the Next of
Kin to Late MR. ROBERT FINKELSTEIN. I shall guide you with all diligence
and legal processes to ensure the smooth perfect success of this ransaction
and the Funds (US$35Million) must be transfered into your own bank account
in your country as the newly approved beneficiary.
Upon my personal finding on this matter, I kept this information secret
to myself until now that I am contacting you. In view of the fact that the
deceased customer is a foreigner (from a different country), it is
Officially important for the involvement of a foreigner who will pose
as a next-of-kin. I will use my exalted position in this Bank to present
you as his Next of Kin as you can be his relative, friend or Cousin and the
Money (US$35Million) will be Safely transfered into your own bank account
in your country. Before I made up my mind to contact you, I have concluded
every arrangement to ensure that you receive the funds successfully as the
next of kin.

mail and I will give you more information as soon as you indicate your willingness
to assist in this transaction. We will use our positions to get all internal
documentations to back up the claims. The whole Procedures will last only
5 working days to get the fund
retrieved successfully Without trace even in future.
Please i need the following:
1. YOUR FULL NAME
2. PHONE AND FAX NUMBER
3. HOME ADDRESS
4. COMPANY'S NAME AND ADDRESS.
5. BANK ACCOUNT
6. YOUR AGE.
After successful conclussion of this transaction, we shall share the
money 60-35 (35% for you and 60% for me). And the remaining 5% is set aside
