MR. JOSSY OKPARA
No, 5, Idowu Taylor Street.
Victoria-Island.
Lagos-Nigeria.
Attention: My Dear Friend,
Compliment of the Day.
It is my humble pleasure to write you this letter irrespective of the fact that you do not know me.
However, I came across your contact in my private search for a reliable and trustworthy person that
can handle a confidential transaction valued {US$10,000,000.00(Ten Million Dollars}
I am assuring you a 100% risk free involvement in this transaction. The aforementioned funds
totaling $10 Million are presently in a domiciliary account here in our bank, and it belongs to one
of our dead foreign client who died Eight years ago in a ghastly air crash.
I am the account officer of the late customer here in the branch and I was instructed by the board
of bank that I should close the account of the deceased client due to the fact that the account has
been dormant for the past 8 Years that he died. Also, I was instructed by the board of our bank
that I should contact his Next of Kin to inherit the funds left in the account. I have made several
frantic inquiries at the Embassy, to locate any of his relatives or next of kin who will inherit
the funds but unfortunately I learn that he died along with his wife and his only child in the air
crash.
You see, if I should tell the boards of our bank that the deceased client does not have a Next of
Kin to inherit the funds, they will confiscate the funds automatically. So, I decided to search for
a foreigner whom I could present as the next of kin to the deceased client or even comes from the
same country with him, and hence I contacted you.
A routine notification has been sent several times to him,without reply. Couple of months later, I
discovered from his contract employers, the Nigerian National Steel Corporation Ajuokuta that
he's dead. He died in an air crash .On further investigation to the deposit with my Bank, no
declaration of inheritance to relation or next of kin to inherit this
fund.
Unfortunately, none of his relation or family has ever come forth for this claim, and the
management of the firm is planning to confiscate the {US$10, 000,000.00(Ten Million Dollars} by the
end of this fiscal quarter,since it has overstayed the deposited time.
As regards to the above, I want you to stand in as the next of Kin to the deceased {even a distance
relation does not matter} for us to save the fruits of the old man's labour before it get to the
hands of some corrupt selfish officials of our firm or the government.
As soon as you consent to this request, we will immediately employ the service of an Attorney for
drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. Your percentage share of the fund depends on
your level of participation. Although I would like to use 20% of the
total fund to raise a reputable charity home or Foundation in the name of the deceased.
My position here as the account officer guarantees the successful execution of this transaction as
there is every arrangement to effect the payment of the $10,000.000.00}to you as the next of Kin
as soon as we {you and I} certify the requirement of our firm.
Looking forward to your urgent response to this offer. Please reply through this Alternative
