Dear Friend,

This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not
yet met. The message could be strange but real if you pay some attention to
it. I could have notified you about it at least for the sake of your
integrity. Please accept my sincere apologies. In bringing this message of
goodwill to you, I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any
pains.



I am Mr. Sadiq Yusuf, Branch Manager, First Atlantic of Nigeria. I managed
to get your contact details through the Internet myself. Time is of the
importance and I am desperately looking for a person to assist me in this
confidential business. A British oil consultant/contractor with the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Claude Brian Best made a
numbered time (Fixed) Deposit on January 6, 2014, valued at
US$25,000,000.00 (Twenty- five Million Dollars), for twelve (12) calendar
months 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 contract employers, the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation that he died from an automobile accident. On further
investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL and all
attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless.



The bank has threatened to seize these abandoned personal assets and funds;
in line with existing laws. On this note, I decided to search for a
possible family member (regardless distant) as I was contacted because of
my affiliation with the United States Department of State as I can easily
identify with and verify the identity of the beneficiary. I did not only
contact you because you have a similar last name with him but because I
have enough information to make this transaction possible without any
setbacks. I need your approval to introduce you as the closest family
member to him.



I therefore made further investigation and discovered that he did not
declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his
Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$25,000,000.00 is still
sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal
sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it.
According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 4(four) years, the money
will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies
to claim the fund.



Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand
in as the next of kin to him so that the fruits of this old man's labor
will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is
simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address
so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits
that will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the service
of two lawyers for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the
necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for
the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that you will
provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the
beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to
share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you.



There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be
done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please
reply immediately via the private email address below;

Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction.



Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require
your assistance to invest my share in your country.



Awaiting your urgent reply via my email address.

Thanks and regards.



Mr. Sadiq Yusuf.
