Good day,
Calvary greetings to you and your family.I hope
you are in a perfect condition of health?
I am Mr. Peter
Stewart I am the chief Auditor of Fidelity Bank of Nigeria, Plc. One
of the leading Banks in Nigeria.
I wish to introduce to you a
confident transactional Business between you and me.
We want to
transfer to overseas account the sum of ($6.5USD) Six. Five Million
United States
Dollars, from our Bank here in Nigeria, We need someone
that we can Confide in and someone who has an existing bank account,
whatever type
Of account, either filled up or empty, anyone can do, as
long as it will Remain honest to me till the end of this important
business, I want to put my trust in you and believe that you will not
let me down.
During the course of our auditing last week, I
discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in the year
2001 and since then, nobody as being operating on this account, after
going through some old files, I discovered that the owner of this
account died without
a [Heir/Will] Hence, the money is floating and if
I do not remits this money out urgently, it will be forfeited for
nothing. The owner of this account is Late Mr. TONY CHAOTE, an American
and great Industrialist, a resident of Visalia California, who
unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines
Flight 261,which crashed,
including his only daugther,so,nobody to
claim the money except he has a Next Of Kin, further investigations
revealed to me that he has lost his wife since 1996 after a serious
illness, so the only person who can claim the money now is the Next Of
Kin who must be a foreigner and I
want that person to be you, if you
make a positive response to this proposal, we are talking of nothing
more than two-three weeks transaction here, because
I have gone a
little further to simplify the transaction.
You can read more news
about the plane crash on visiting this sites,

com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/and http://www.alaskaair.
com/E_latest.asp.
No other person knows about this account or
anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my
investigation proved to me as well that the account is a secret
account. The total amount involved here is Six. Five million United
States Dollars.
Now, the money has to be transferred to a
foreigner, and I donât know any foreigner, I am just contacting you as
a foreigner because this
money can not be approved to a local person
here.
You are the first and the only person I am contacting for this
business, so please reply urgently, so that I can inform you about the
next steps to take.
I need your strong assurance that you will never
let me down. I guarantee that this transaction will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement by the relevant ministries and foreign
departments.
I look Forward to hearing you
Your Faithfully
Peter
Stewart
