From the Desk of:
Mr. Nicholas Akimbo
  

With great pleasure I Mr. Nicholas Akimbo, working with a 
bank here in Nigeria as a Manager. I am writing you in 
respect of a foreign customer (an Oil 
consultant/contractor with our National Oil & Liquidified 
Gas Sector) whom made a US$25M depository for an 
investment program that has remained dormant for years 
now. Hence, I have decided to contact you due to the 
urgency of this transaction.

On personal investigation, I discovered that the account 
holder died on Monday, December 23, 2002 in the Ukrainian 
An-140 aircraft crash. I made further investigation and 
discovered that the customer died without making a WILL on 
the depository. It may interest you to know that I am only 
contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be 
approved to a local Bank account here, but can only be 
approved to a foreigner with an account since the money is 
in US Dollars. I have decided as a matter of urgency upon 
this discovery now seek your permission to have you stand 
as next of kin to the fund as No one has ever come forward 
to claim this fund.

It may also interest you to know that I have secured from 
the probate an ORDER OF MADAMUS to locate any of deceased 
beneficiary. In accordance to Nigerian Law, fund deposited 
for over a period of Six (6) years without claim will be 
reverted to the Government treasury, if nobody applies to 
claim this fund.

I will like you to provide immediately your full Names and 
Address, Date of Birth, Occupation, Tel & Fax Numbers so 
that an Attorney will be able to prepare the necessary 
documents and affidavit which will put you in place as the 
next of kin. The Attorney will draft and carry out the 
notarization of the WILL and also obtain the necessary 
documents and letter of probate/administration in your 
favour for the transfer.
  
At the successful conclusion of this business, your 
goodself shall be entitled to have 40% that is, USD$10M of 
the total money while I will have 55% that is USD$13.750M 
and 5% that is USD$1.250M for communications and other 
expenses. I am ready to invest a reasonable percentage of 
mine into any viable business you suggest as a joint 
partner. Your percentage will also be a source of 
upliftment. You have absolutely nothing to LOSE in 
assisting me instead, you have so much to GAIN. Be rest 
assured that this transaction would be most profitable for 
both of us.
  
Your response is highly imperative as this is a TWO-man 
business deal transaction as I shall then provide you with 
more details and relevant documents that will help you 
understand the transaction. I need your assistance and 
co-operation to this reality as I have done my Home-work 
and fine tune the best way to create you as the 
beneficiary while I would use my connection and money to 
secure almost all the paperwork for this transaction which 
will be done by the Attorney and my position as the Branch 
Manager guarantees the successful execution of this 
transaction with you as the beneficiary to this fund.

I will appreciate your early reply for commencement of 
business. Contact me for acknowledgement by E-mail and 
whereby you are not interested, please indicate in your 
reply so that I can seek for the assistance of someone 
else.

If this proposal is acceptable by you, I expect that you 
will not take undue advantage of the trust I Will bestow 
in you. I await your urgent response.

Thanks with great regards.

Mr. Nicholas Akimbo
