I crave your indulgence as I contact you in such a
surprising manner and I want you to bear in mind that
this is not a hoax mail but I respectfully insist that you

open door for unimaginable financial reward for both

late ENGR.STEVE MOORE, a foreigner and an oil
merchant/Contractor here in Nigeria, here in shall be
refered as my client.On the 21st of October 2000, my
client, his wife and their three children were
involved in a ghastly auto accident along Shagamu
Express Road,unfortunately,all occupants of the
vehicle lost their lives.Since then I have made
several enquiries to Embassies to locate any of my
late client's extended family or Relatives and this
has been unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided
to track his name over the Internet to locate any
member of his family or next of kin/relative.
I am contacting you to assist in repatrating the money
left behind by my late client before they get
confisicated or declared unserviceable by DIAMOND BANK
OF NIG.PLC. where this huge amount U.S.37million is
lodged.
The bank has issued me notice to provide the next of
kin/Relative or have the account confiscated within
the next 21 banking days.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the the
relatives for over 4 years now, I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin/Relative of the
deceased so that this U.S.37 million can be transferred
into your account and then you and I will share this
fund according to any agreed ratio.
All I require is your honest co-operation and
confidentiality to enable us see this deal through, I
guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of
the law.
If you know you are capable enough to handle this transaction with me I
will require all this information from you, reply to my alternetive
mail for urgent perusal, (barrkennywell@o2.pl)
Your full name,,,,,,,,,
