DEAR SIR,
I KNOW THIS LETTER WILL BE OF A GREAT SURPRISE TO YOU
HAVING NOT MET PERSONALLY. HOWEVER I AMMR EMMANUEL ONWUKA

THE BILL AND EXCHANGE AT THE FORIGN REMITTANCE
DEPATMENT OF (INTER CONTINENTAL TRUST BANK PLC LAGOS
NIGERIA.)

I AM WRITING FOLLOWING THE IMPRESSIVE INFORMATION GATHERED ABOUT YOU THROUGH ONE OF MY FRIENDS WHO RUN A CONSULTANCY AND RELIABILITY TO CHAMPION THIS BUSINESS
OPPORTUNITY, THOUGH I DID NOT DISCLOSE TO HIM THE FULL
DETAILS OF THIS BUSINESS. I ONLY TOLD HIM THAT I NEEDED A PERSON TRUSTWORTHY PERSON WHO I CAN ENRUST SOME MONEY AND DO BUSINESS WITH HIM.

            DETAILS OF THE BUSINESS.

IN MY DEPARTMENT WE DISCOVERED AN ABANDONED SUM OF
$US9.5M(NINE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THAUSAND U.S DOLLARS.) IN AN ACCOUNT THAT BELONG TO ONE OF OUR FOREIGN CUSTOMERS WHO DIED ALONG WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY IN NOVEMBER 1999. IN A PLANE CLASH.SINCE WE GOT INFORMATION ABOUT HIS DEATH,WE HAVE BEEN EXPECTING HIS NEXT OF KIN TO COME OVER AND CLAIM HIS MONEY BECAUSE WE CANNOT RELEASE IT UNLESS SOME BODY APPLIES AS STIPULATED IN OUR BANKING PRICIPLES/GUIDELINES.

UNFORTUNATELY WE LEARNT THAT ALL HIS SUPPOSED NEXT OF
KIN.THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY DIED ALOMG WITH HIM IN THE PLANE CLASH LEAVING NO AVAILABLE PERSON THAT KNOWS ABOUT THE DEPOSIT BEHIND FOR THE CLAIM.IT IS THEREFORE UPON THIS DISCOVERY THAT I AND OTHER TWO OFFICIALS IN THE DEPARTMENT NOW DECIDED TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU AND RELEASE THE MONEY TO YOU AS THE NEXT OF KIN/RELATION OF THE DECEASED FOR SAFETY AND SUBSEQUENTLY DISBURSEMENT WITHIN US SINCE NO BODY CAME FOR IT AND OFFCOURSE WE ARE SURE THAT NO ONE IS COMING FOR IT.

AND WE DONT WANT THIS MONEY TO GO TO RESERVED DISBURSEMENT ACCOUNT AS UNCLAIMED BILL BECAUSE OUR
BANKING POLICY/GUIDELINES(LAW) CLEARLY STIPULATED THAT
IF ANY SUCH MONEY REMAINS UNCLAIMED AFTER FOUR YEARS.THE MONEY WILL BE TRANSFERRED INTO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ACCOUNT AS UNCLAIMED/UNMATCHED FUND THUS FORFEITED.

BASED ON THIS,THE REQUEST OF A FOREIGNER AS A NEXT OF
KIN IN THIS BUSINESS IS OCCASSIONED BY THE FACT THAT
THE CUSTOMER WAS A FOREIGNER AND A NIGERIAN CANNOT
STAND AS A RELATION TO A FOREIGNER.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION, THIS BUSINESS IS 100% RISK FREE
AND ALL MODALITIES HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE. WE WILL
OBTAIN ORDER OF MANDAMUS FROM THE PROBATE OF THE
MINISTRY OF JUSTICE WHICH WILL AUTHENTICATE YOU
FINALLY AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED.

REMMITTANCE OF THIS MONEY VIS-A-VIS TELEPHONE
BILL/ETC.
(3) THAT THE REMAINING 60% WILL BE FOR MYSELF AND
COLLEAGUES.
              REQURERMENTS.
(1) YOU PROVIDE A BANK ACCOUNT DETAILS WHERE THIS
MONEY WILL BE TRANCEFERED.

TO THE BANK REQUESTING FOR CLAIMS OF THE FUND.TEXT OF
