Dear Friend,
I Am 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 9years,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 a Next of kin of late Douglas J.Stone
. This is simple. All I require is 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 originator of the Fund will take 60% of the transferable
.2.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:(clementnn6@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.
Leonard Clement
