Plot 101c, Park Street Lekki Phase 11,
Victoria Island, Lagos.

Subject Matter: Invitation to Act as Next-of-Kin.
I write this august letter in confidence, believing that it will reach you
in high spirit and I believe you will maintain the level of confidence and
trust matters of this nature requires. Though, I know that this proposal
may make you apprehensive and worried, but I assure you that all will be
well at the end. Before proceeding, I wish to introduce myself. I am Adams
Phillip, Deputy General Manager, (Credit Controls) with Standard Trust Bank
Limited, Lagos. I got your contact from a reliable fellow. The Proposal:
An American Citizen, Late Engineer. Roy A Bruce, a Petrochemical Engineer
with Eleme Petro-Chemical Co. Rivers State. Until his death in ADC plane
crash in November 2000, he operated a domiciliary account with us and had
a closing balance as at the end of September 2000 amounting to $10,500,000.00
( Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only), the bank
now expects a next of kin as beneficiary to no avail. Valuable efforts have
been made by Standard Trust Bank Plc to get in touch with any of late Engineer
Roy A. Bruce's family as beneficiary to his estates without success.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any
of Late Engr. Roy A Bruce's next of kin, since he had no wife or children
that is known to the bank. Consequently, the Chairman and the board of Directors
are planning to declare the fund Unclaimed and transfer it to Special Trust
fund for purchase of arms and ammunition for ECOMOG soldiers in Sierra Leone
and Liberia zones in the East Africa sub-regions. In other to avert this
negative development, I now seek your permission to have you stand as next-of
-kin to the estate of late Engr. Roy A Bruce , so that the fund $10,500,000.00
will be released and paid into your account as beneficiary's next of kin.
I will help to arrange all documents and proves to enable us get this fund
out. I have secured from the probate registry an order of mandamus to locate
any of the deceased beneficiary and more so; I am assuring you that this
transaction is risk free. Once the fund is moved to your nominated account,
you will be entitling to 35%. Your share stays while the rest be for me
and some people I will settle here. You will be entitled to substantial
part from my percentage in trust for investment. As soon as I receive your
acceptance in principle, I will furnish you with the necessary modalities
for commencement. Finally, I am relying in my confidence in you, having
opened up to you; you can contact me via my alternative email address: adamsphillip_1@hotmail.com
If however you are not interested, please feel free to destroy this information
as I will continue to look for a willing partner(s).
Yours Faithfully,
Adams Phillip
