Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Dr. ify Alamu , Branch Manager with Union bank of Nigeria Lagos, Nigeria. I have an urgent and very profitable business proposition for you that should be handled with extreme confidentiality. On January 6, 1998 a Foreign Consultant and contractor with the Nigerian Railway Corporation Mr. Abbas Gumeri by name made a numbered time Fixed Deposit for twelve Calendar months valued at US$15.6M (Fifteen Million, Six Hundred United States Dollars Only) in my branch.
Upon maturity I sent a routine notification in accordance with the Bank Policy to his forwarding addresses but got no reply. After a month we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers Nigerian Railway Corporation that Mr. Abbas Gumeri died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, we found out that he died without making a Will and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigations and discovered that Mr. Abbas Gumeri did not declare any Next of kin correlations in all his official documents including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$15.6M has been carefully moved out of my bank to a
Financial and Security Company in Europe for safekeeping.

This prompted us to contact you.

Company in Europe.

We have unanimously agreed that 25% of the entire sum would be for you if you agree to take part in this profitable Transaction, 65% for me while the remaining 10% would be used to pay back The expenses that may be incurred during the course of the transaction by both parties after the Fund has been claimed and lodged in your account. In the event that you are genuinely interested in the transaction, the following information would be needed from you to expedite action

Where you can be reached at all time because this transaction entails
