Dear Sir ,
Am Mr.eze Mandell, in charge of Bills and Foreign Exchange Remittance
Department with a Finance House. I am writing you this letter to ask for
your support and co-operation to carry out this business opportunity in my
department. I discovered an unclaimed sum of $25Million (Twenty five Million
Dollars) deposited belonging to (Mr. John ), a native of your country.Who
was a petroleum/gas consultant/contactor with the Nigeria National Petroleum
Corporation who happens to be deceased during a business trip? He died with
his wife and three children on board the Swissair Flight 111, which crashed
into the Atlantic off Nova Scotia in September 2nd 1998. The
plane crash was in the news. See links below for more detail information:

Since we got information about his death I have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and claim his money. Unfortunately, neither the family nor
the relation has appeared to claim this money’s we cannot release this money
unless somebody applies as the next of kin or relation to the deceased. I
therefore decided to look for a foreigner who bears the same surname.
Our guidelines indicated that if such money remained unclaimed for a period
of eight (8) years, it would be transferred into the Finance House Treasury
as unclaimed fund. I decided to transfer this money into your account as the
next of kin or relation of the deceased for easy collection since nobody is
coming for it and I don’t want this money to go back into the Finance House
treasury as the unclaimed debt.
I have decided to give you 25% of the total sum. There is no risk involved.
Because I will use my position as an Officer and prepare all the legal
documents/papers. I will do my best to see that we conclude this transaction
successfully on time. Please if you are interested send me an immediate
mail.
Please your Cell phone and fax is required for easy communication
