Subject: MRS. CYNTHIA
Greetings to you,
This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and become
great friends and business partners.My name is Mrs. Cynthia David, the present branch Manager of a
bank here in Nigeria West Africa. I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you with
the information I am about to reveal to you. LikeI said, I have a transaction that will benefit both of us, as
your assistance is required as a foreigner.
I use to head the Accounts department in my bank head office, but last December I was asked to take
position of a Manager of our branch in Lagos who passed on,so that was how I became the present
Manager and discovered a fortune. As I resumed duty, I discovered an account with total sum of $10.5
million that has not been operated on for the past 4 years.From my investigation,I found out that this
account belongs to one Late Mr. Ziya Bazhayev a Russian big time Oildealer, who unfortunately lost his
life in the Yak-40jetliner on March 9, 2000. You will read more news about the crash on visiting these site;
http://www.amarillonet.com/stories/031500/usn_LA0703.001.shtml and
http://news.1chinastar.com/ll/english/61934.shtml.
I have kept a close monitoring of the account since then and nobody has come forward to claim the
money as next of kin to the late Mr. Ziya Bazhayev meaning that no one is aware of the account. I can not
directly take out this money without the help of a foreigner and that is why I am contacting you for an
assistance to claim the funds and share it with me. As the Manager of my bank branch, I have the power
to influence the release of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the account, with
the correct information concerning the account, which I shall give you.I am seeking your co -operation to
present you as the next of kin to the account. There is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.If you accept to work
with me, I want you to state how you wish us to share the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be
satisfied. Contact me as soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work together,so as to give
you more details.
Thanking you in advance and may God bless you.
Please, treat with utmost confidentiality.
I wait your urgent response.
Regards,
Mrs. Cynthia David
