FROM THE DESK OF: MICHAEL WILLIAMS. MANAGER, GULF BANK PLC LAGOS ISLAND, LAGOS, NIGERIA. I am Mr.Micheal Williams, Bank Manager of Gulf bank plc Lagos Island Branch. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. Mr.LEE JONES made a numbered time (Fixed) deposit fortwelve calendar months,valued at US$20.2 Million dollars (Twenty Million,two hundred thousand united state dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but we got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, AGIP OIL that Mr.LEE JONES died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. LEE JONES did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork. This sum of US$20.2 million 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 two years, the money will evert 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.LEE JONES so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.This is simple; 1) I will like you to provide me immediately with your full names and address,telephone/fax number . A bank account will be required of you in any part of the world,during the course of this transaction from the bank to facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin of Mr.LEE JONES. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 65% for me and 30% for you then 5% will be set aside for any expenses that may occur during the transfer process.There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by an attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. .......... Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand. 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. Regards,your`s faithfully Mr.Micheal Williams.
