Head Office:
40 Marina Street,

Hello,
A foreigner, late Engr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser, an Oil Merchant, until his
death some years ago, banked with us here at Union Bank Plc.,Lagos, and had
a closing balance of (Eight Million United States Dollars) which the bank
now unquestionably expects to be claimed by any of his available foreign
next of kin or alternatively be donated to a discredited trust fund for arms
and ammunition at a military war college here in Nigeria. Engr. Mohamed Kamal
Yasser, died in the plane crash of 31 October 1999[with Egyptian 990] with
other passengers aboard as you can confirm it yourself via the website below:

Fervent valuable efforts are being made by the Union Bank Plc to get in touch
with any of the late Engr. Engr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser.`s family or relatives
but all have proved to no avail. It is because of the perceived possibility
of not going to be able to locate any of late Engr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser`s
next of kin (he had no wife and children) that the management under the influence
of our Chairman, board of directors, so that an arrangement for the fund
to be declared "UNCLAIMABLE" and then be subsequently donated to the Trust
Fund for Arms and Ammunition which will further enhance the course of war
in Africa and the world in general.
In order to avert this negative development, myself and some of my trusted
colleagues in the bank now seek for your permission to have you stand as
late Engr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser`s .`s next of kin so that the fund, Eight
Million United States Dollars would be subsequently transferred and paid
you as the beneficiary next of kin. All documents and proves to enable you
get this fund have been carefully worked out and we are assuring you of 100%
risk free involvement. Your share would be 30% of the total amount. 10% has
been set aside for expenses while the rest would be for myself and my colleagues
for investment purposes in your country.
If this proposal is OK. by you and you do not wish to take advantage of the
trust we hope to bestow on you, then kindly get back to me immediately via
my e-mail with your details.
Your response will be highly appreciated.
Regards and God bless.
Abdulsalma Isa
