ATTN:DIRECTOE/C.E.O

I am DR.LESLEY JONES, manager of bills/ exchange at the foreign remittance department of NED BANK LIMITED.

In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of US$ 10.5(Ten million,Five hundred Thousand US dollars only) in an account that belong to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family on November 1994 in a ghastly plane crash. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claims his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applied for it as next of kin, or relation to the deceased as indicated in our Banking guidelines. Unfortunately , nobody has come forward to claim this money. It is based on this that some officials in my department and I have decided to establish a cordial business relationship with you, hence my contacting you. We want you to present yourself as the next of kin or relation of the deceased, so that the fund can be remitted into your account since nobody is coming for it. And again we do not want the money to go into the government account as unclaimed bills.

The Banking law and guidelines here stipulate that any account abandoned or dormant for a period of years is deemed closed an all money contained therein would be forfeited to the government treasury account. Now it is being speculated that the above sum will be transferred into the government account as an unclaimed fund on or before febuary 2004. The reason for requesting you to present yourself as next of kin is occasioned by the fact that the deceased( customer) was a foreigner.

The mode of sharing after a successful transfer of the money into your account: 85% to my colleagues and I, for the role you will be expected to play in the whole exercise, we have agreed to give you fifteen percent(15%). If you are in support of the aforementioned therefore you are urged to reply this letter indicating your readiness and interest to participate in the business. After receiving your reply, you will be communicated to with the exact steps to take.

And I will like you to give me a concrete assurance that the entire fund will be safe when transferred into your account. To enable us conclude this transaction urgently. Please treat this business proposal as STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL for security reasons.

Best regards.

DR.LESLEY JONES
