Dear Friend, I Am Mr.Leonard Clement the Manager, Bills And Exchange at the Foreign Remittance Department in a Bank. Actually, I have a very urgent & confidential Business Proposition for you & for our veral mutual interest.On the 6th of March 2001,our Customer, an American National,late Douglas J. Stone, an Oil Merchant / Contractor with the Federal Governmet of Nigeria, deposited, a valued amount of US$32Million in my branch.Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarded address but got noreply. After a month we sent a reminder, & finally we discovered from his contract employers NNPC, that late Douglas J. Stone ,until his death six years ago in a ghastly terrorist attack to American Airline Flight 11, from Boston,Massachusetts, to Los Angeles,California,crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center (WTC) with 86 people on board. All occupants of the Aeroplane unfortunately lost their lives. On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his Next of kin were ruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that late Douglas J. Stone , did not declare any Next of kin in all his official documents.This sum US$32Million is still floating in the bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one came forward to claim it. According to Nigeria Laws, at the expiration of 8years,the money will revert to the Ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.Consequently,my proposal isthat i willl like you as a foreigner to stand in as a Next of kin of late Douglas J.Stone . This is simple. All I require as your honest and co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from a breach of the law. I will want you to send to me on your return emais the following information for the transfer in your favor .1. Your full names as the Beneficiary of the Fund..2. Your contact address.3. Your private phone and fax numbers, Let's consider that our ratio of sharing will be as stated Thus 1. I as the riginator of the Fund will take 60% of the transferable Fund2.You as the Manager of the Fund will take 40% of the transferable Fund. Most importantly, CONFIDENTAILITY as what I saw as the life wire to the success of the transfer of this Fund must have to be emulated between you and me. You have to use this media to promise me that you will no in anyway expose the content of this transaction to anybody be it your Friends, Colleagues and Co-Workers.I will also want you to send your reply to this email leonardclement04@sify.com as soon as you get this mail to enable us discuss on the modalities and processes for success of this transaction. Thanks for your anticipated cooperation and understanding.I wait for your kind response. Thanks And Remain blessed.Mr. Leonard Clement
