NIGERIAN SCAM LETTER FROM

OGECHUKWU KANMA

From: Mr. Ogechukwu Kanma (Bank Manager)
       Union Bank PLC
       Lagos Branch
       Lagos, Nigeria
      

Attn/President/CEO

Dear Sir,

I am Ogechukwu Kanma, Bank Manager of Union Bank PLC,
Lagos Branch. I got your contact from the World Trade
Center (W.T.C.) Regional office in Lagos, Nigeria
although the details of my intention was not made
known to them. Actually, I listed your name amongst
four other names and prayed over them and God revealed
you to me and I decided to contact you directly.I have
a very urgent and confidential business proposition
for you for our overall mutual interest.

On June 6 1997, an American Oil Consultant/Contractor
with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr.
Barry Kelly made a numbered time (fixed) deposit for
twelve Calendar months, value! d at USD$25,000,000.00
(twenty-five million dollars) in my Branch. Upon
maturity, I 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, Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation that Mr. Barry Kelly died from an
automobile accident. On further investigation I found
out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempt to
trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made
further investigation and discovered that Mr. Barry
Kelly did not declare any next of kin in all
his official documents, including his bank deposit
paperwork.

This sum of USD$25,000,000.00 is still sitting in the
Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the
principal sum at the end of each year. No one will
come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian Law,
at the expiration of 6 (six) years, the money
will revert to the ownership of th! e Nigeria Government
if nobody applies to claim the funds.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a
foreigner to stand in as the next of kin of Mr. Barry
Kelly so that the fruit of this old man labor will not
get into the hands of some corrupt government
officials. This is simple;

1) I will like you to provide me immediately with your
full names and address so that the attorney will
prepare the necessary documents and affidavits, which
will put you in place as the next of kin.

2) We shall employ the services of two attorneys for
drafting and notarization of the WILL and obtain the
necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.

3) A bank account in any part of the world, which you
provide, will then facilitate the transfer of this
money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin of Mr.
Barry Kelly. The money will be paid into your account
for us to share! in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for
you. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork
for this transaction will be done by the attorney and
my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction. If
you are interested, please reply immediately via this
private email address .

Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more
details and relevant documents that will help you
understand. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and
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.

Awaiting your urgent reply via this email above, and
please save
me the anxiety of endless waiting.

God bless you.

Mr. Ogechukwu Kanma
Union Bank PLC,
Lagos,Nigeria
