Dearest,
Compliments of the season and how are you today I hope fine.
Before I proceed I would like to introduce myself to you.
My name is Ms Rose Kenneth Adams, a staff of the Union BANK.I have
urgent and confidential business proposition for you.
On DECEMBER 2nd 1998, an oil contractor with the NIGERIAN NATIONAL
PETROLEUM CORPORATION ( N.N.P.C ) MR AL SAUD, BANDAR made a numbered
(time fixed) deposit for twelve calendar months valued at US7M in my
branch.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding
address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally
we discovered from his contact employers NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM
CORPORATION that MR AL SAUD, BANDAR, died in auto crash along with his
entire family.

On furtherinvestigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and
all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made
furtherinvestigation and discovered that MR AL SAUD, BANDAR did not
declare any next of kin in all his official documents, including his
Bank Deposit paperwork.
This sum of US$7.000.000.00 is still sitting in the Bank and the
interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the
end of each year. No one will come forward to claim it. According to
the NIGERIAN Law, at the expiration of 10 years the money will revert
to the ownership of the NIGERIAN Government if nobody applies to claim
the funds.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand in as the next of kin to MR AL SAUD,BANDAR so that the fruits of
this old man'S labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt
government officials. As an Accountant and a staff of this BANK,What we
have to do is simple if you ad heir to my instructions.
You will send to me your complete names, address and information's
which I will secretly programme in the computer account file of late MR
AL SAUD, BANDAR in our bank as his registered associate before his
death and who is entitled to inherit the deposit incase of his death.
When this money is paid into your account, you take40% share of the
total sum and 60% will be for me. You will also help me to invest my
own share in you country. I will give you more details
upon receipt of your Mail
looking forward to see your urgent response.
Best regards,
Ms Rose Kenneth Adams
