Attention,
I am Mr Goodvine Collins, the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of African Development BankPlc{ADB} Lagos,Nigeria, West Africa, and
also a special account officer of Mr. Peter Lund,an European.He was a
seasoned Engineer with shell petroleum Company,Nigeria, who unfortunately
died in a plane crash of Union Transport Africaines Flight Boeing 727 in
Cotonou, Republic of Benin on 25th December, 2003.
You will read more stories about the crash on visiting this website:

Before his death on the 25th December 2003, Mr.Lund has a fixed deposit
account with the bank and no other person know about this account or have
any information relating to this account. The account has Dr,Mrs Helen Lund
as the next-of-kin,but unfortunetely,Mrs Lund died out of portracted cancer
a week before Mr lund died in plane crash,no other person knows about this
fund,excerpt me, and my investigation reveal that his daugther died along
with him in the crash. Since then.
I have made several enquiries to locate any of his extended relatives, this
has also proved unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided
to contact you. I'm contacting you to assist in remittance of a dormant fund
as the next of kin left behind by Mr. Lund so as not to allow the bank
confiscate or declare the funds unserviceable according to Nigeria Republic
financial law on unclaimed bills which the government usually map out for
the purchase of ammunitions which are the major course of connflicts in the
west of Africa.
Consequently, I'm seeking your consent to present you as the next-of-kin of
the deceased so that the outstanding fixed deposit (US$12 Million) will be
remitted into any designated account of yours to be shared by both of us in
the ratio of 60% to me and 40% for you.
I have all necessary legal documents to back up this claim. All that is
required of you is absolute honesty, total commitment, co-operation &
absolute *confidentiality.Be* <http://confidentiality.be/> rest-assured that
this transaction will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will
protect both parties from breach of the law and it is 100% risk free and
attracts no authorities and every information you will require as the next
of kin will be forwarded to you after your final acceptance to help me
champion this deal.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, kindly email your following
information to me:
a. Full Name(s)
b. Direct phone & fax number(s)
c. Your direct email & any other information you may
deem helpful.
Thank you for your co-operation until I read from you.
