Dear friend,
How are you today and I hope this email meets you in
good health. I have a proposal for you, this however
is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you
to honour against your will. I am Mr.Patrick Emeka, and I
work with the Standard Trust Bank PLC, Lagos -
Nigeria.
A dormant account which belongs to an oil consultant
and my client named Engineer Mr. Wilfred, he is a
national of your country but now deceased, and for
over 4 years now the account has been dormant now.
He made a numbered time [Fixed Deposit] on December 5,
2001 valued at US$6 Million [Six Million US Dollars]
for a duration of eighteen [18] calendar months at my
bank. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to
his forwarding address but got no reply. I sent
another reminder and finally I found out from his
contract employers viz - the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation that he died along with his wife
and their only child in the Ikeja bomb blast of
January 27, 2002
For confirmation, please refer by copying and pasting

Since his death, I personally have watched with keen
interest to see the next of kin come for the claim but
no one showed up. All efforts to contact them proved
abortive as no one has come to claim his funds and no
other person knows about this account or anything
concerning the account. I hereby solicit and seek your
assistance in repatriating the fund before it gets
confisticated and declared unserviceable by my bank
where the client had an account balance value at about
$6 Million US Dollars.
The banking policy here does not allow such money to
stay more than 5 years without claim hence the money
will be recalled to the government treasury as
unclaimed after this long period of dormancy. It is
pertinent that you inform me if you are interested.
I seek a very honest and reliable person, so that the
fund can be paid to you, then me and you can share the
money according to the ratio below: 60% of the fund to
me and to you 40% of the total transfer sum.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us
see this transaction through.
Now my questions are these:
1. Can you handle this transaction?
2. Can I give you this trust?
I do guarantee you that this will be executed under
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law. Consider this proposal then get
back to me as soon as possible. Finally, it is my
humble prayer that the information as contained herein
is accorded the necessary attention, urgency as well
as the confidentiality it deserves.
I expect your urgent response if you can handle this
transaction, I shall then provide you with more
details that will help you see the light regarding
this transaction.
Best regards,
Mr Patrick Emeka
