I am DR Onyemere Kelechi a Manager in one of FIRST BANK OF NIGERIA PLC Branch
Office here in Lagos Nigeria.I got your contact address from your country
export promotion council although the details of my intention was not made
known to them.I have urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you. On June 6 2001, An American oil consultant
/contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Gaski
Dairo made a numbered time (fixed)deposited for twelve calendar valued at
US$10,500,000.00 Ten Million five hundred thousand Dollars) 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 fi! nally we discovered
from his contact employers Nigerian National Petroleum
corporation that Mr. Gaski Dairo died from an auto
crash. On further investigation, I found out that
he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next
of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that Mr. Gaski Dairo did not
declare any next of kin in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork. This sum of
US$10,500,000.00 is still sitting in the Bank and the
interest is being rolled over with the principal
sum at the end of each year. No one will come forward to
claim it.

According to the Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five)
years, the money will revert to the ownership of the
Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim
the funds.Conse! quently, my proposal is that I will like you
as a foreigner to stan d-in as the next of kin to Mr. Gaski Dairo
it doesnt matter if you ha! ve the same last name with him or not
so that the fruits of this ol d man's labour will not get
into the hands of some corrupt government officials and
remember that this fund can only be claimed by a help of a
foreigner that is the main reason i am contacting you.


1. I will like you to provide me immediately with your full
names and address so that the attorney will prepare the
necessary documents and affidavits, which will put you in
place as the next of kin.

2. The attorney will prapere for the drafting and
notarization of the WILL and obtain the necessary documents
and letter of probate /administration in your favour for
the transfer.

3. A bank account in any part of the world, which you
provide, will then facilitate the transfer of this money to
you as the beneficiary / next of
kin of Mr. Gaski Dairo .

The money will be paid into your account for us to share in
the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you . There is no risk at all the paperwork
for this transaction will be d! one by the attorney and my position as the
Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.Upon
your response, I shall then provide you with more details.Pleaseobserve
utmost confidentiality, and 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.
