Dear Friend,
I am MR.john paul, The Accountant General of the INTERCONTRNENTAL BANK PLC
Maryland, Nigeria.I have an urgent and very confidential business
proposition
for you. On November 6, 1999,Mr. Andreas Schranner a British Oil
consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation, Made
a
numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at
US$18,000,000.00 (Eighteen Million Dollars) in my bank. Upon maturity,I
sent
a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.After
a month, I sent a reminder,and finally I discovered from his contract
employers, the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation that,the bank
customer
Mr Andreas Schranner,his wife maria,
their daughter Eich and husband christian and their
two children perished in the Air France concorde New York bound flight;

stm On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a
WILL,
and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that he declare
his wife the next of kin to the fund deposited,and in all his official
documents including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
US$18.000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being
rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will
ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of the nigeria , at
the expiration of 7(seven) years, the money will revert to be of the
nigeria Government if nobody applies as the next of kin to claim the
fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand
in as the next of kin to the fund through writing to the bank,and so
that the fund of this deceased bank customer will not get into the
hands
of some corrupt government officials. this is simple, I will like you
to apply as the next of kin to this fund through writing to the bank,
your full informations shall be needed so that the bank can accord you
the next of kin.I will feed you with the informations that will put you
in place as the next of kin. A bank account in any part of the world
that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money
to
you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your
account for both of us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40%
There
is no risk at all, as all the information for this transaction will be
giving by me, and my position as the Manager guarantees the successful
execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply
immediately. Upon your acceptance, I shall then provide you with the
application letter and more details that will help you understand the
transaction. Please send me your confidential telephone number for easy
communication.and Your Address and Your bank Account and Your Fax
Number
Please, observe 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.
