How are you?
Dear Beloved One.
I am Mr. Peter Jerry, Bank Manager of Zenith Bank, Lagos, Nigeria.
I have urgent and very confidential business proposal for you. On June 6, 1999,a Foreign Oil
consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Kari Johnson made a
numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$66,500,000.00, (Sixty-six
Million, five hundred thousand Dollars) in my branch.
Upon maturity, we 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 Mr. Kari Johnson 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 was fruitless. I therefore
made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Kari Johnson did not Declare any kin or
relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. No one
will ever come forward to claim it.
According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) 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 next of kin to late Mr. Kari Johnson. I am
writing you because I as a public servant cannot operate a foreign account or have an account more
than $1 Million.
All these are to make sure 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 me immediately your
full names and address telephone and fax numbers and bank account details were the funds would be
transferred into. For you to be more comfortable with this project please open a new account for I
am not out to defraud your account.
The money will be moved out for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you. If you are
interested, please reply back to me with this email, (mrpeterjery@sify.com) I assure you that it is
risk free Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be 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. (Buying of properties like houses, hotels etc).
Best regards,
Mr. Peter Jerry
