Dear Sir/Madam
I am Dr JAMES WABARA senior branch Manager of Union
Bank Plc in Abuja Nigeria.Iam contacting you to assist in the claim of
some outstanding sum of money which was left by one of my very good
clients who died in a AF4590 plane crash on his way to america after
he left nigeria to see his family in germany.
This client Christian Eich was an engineer with one of the foremost construction firms here in Nigeria Dantata Sawoe at Abuja. He left no known next of kin and
all our attempts to trace someone related to him to whom we
could pay the money have met a dead end.I have now personally decided to contact
you to stand on behalf of the family so I can present you as his next
of kin using my influence as a senior Manager of this bank.
The amount involved is USD10.3 million (Ten million three hundred thousand United
States Dollars) which is the account balance.
You can view the website for more details on the death of the man

your full name and address and contact phone numnber
