From: JOHN KUFOR <john002_2006@yahoo.co.uk>

Subject: urgent
Greetings,I am dr john kufor.,I work at
foregn excange control UNION BANK NIGERIA Bank Of NIGERIA .However
I get your contact through the International web
directory.
Recently we
discovered a Dormant Account with a huge amount of
Money
Valued USD20,000,000.00
(Twenty Million Dollars only)that belongs to one of
our
lateCustomer who
died in a plane crash .
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my
department came across
a very huge sum of money belonging to LEE EDWARD JR
who died with
his along with his wife and his Two sons and the fund
has
been dormant in
his account with this Bank without any claim of the
fund in
our custody
either from his family or relation before our
discovery to
this development.
The Banking law here stipulates that if such money
remains
unclaimed for
Six years, it will be forfeited to the Bank Treasury
as an
unclaimed bill.
It is only a foreigner that can stand as a next of kin
and
It is upon this
discovery that I decided to contact you to collaborate
with
you to pull
out this dormant fund.In order to avert this negative
development, I on
behalf of my trusted colleagues now seek your
permission to
have you stand
in as next of kin to Our late Customer so that the
fund
will be released
and paid into your account as the beneficiary?s next
of kin
now that the
bank is still expecting a next of kin or relative of
the
deceased,LEE EDWARD JR .
www.cnn.com/us/9911/02/egyptair990.list/index.html
(please
find out from
the web site About the crash).
Infact we could have done this deal alone but because
of
our position in
this country as civil servants, we are not allowed to
operate a foreign
account and that would eventually raise an eye brow on
our
side during the
time of transfer since we still work in this bank,
this is
the actual reason
why we required a second party or fellow who will
assist us
forward claims
as the next of kin and also provide either an existing
bank
account or to
set up a new Bank a/c immediately to receive this
fund,
even an empty a/c
can also serve for this purpose. On smooth conclusion
of
this transaction,you
will be entitled to 25% as gratification for your
assisting
us, while 5%will
be set aside to take care of expenses on our both
sides
that may arise during
the time of transfer and also for telephone bills, and
the
remaining 70%
will be for me and my partners. What I want from you
is for
you to act as
the deceased next of kin.
I have in my possession, all the necessary Documents
to
successfully accomplish
the operation. Bear in mind that this proposal is 100%
risk
free.
Further Information will be given to you as soon as I
receive your positive
response.
Best Regards
JOHN KUFOR
