Dear Friend,
I am Chukwu Obiame, Branch Manager Union Bank of Nigerian plc,
I have an urgent and very profitable business proposition for you that
should be handled with extreme confidentiality.
On January 12, 1997 a Consultant and contractor with the British Water
Corporation Mr. Sean Burke by name made a numbered time Fixed Deposit for
twelve calendar months valued at US$20.9M (Twenty Million, Nine Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars Only) in my branch. Upon maturity I sent a
routine notification in accordance with the Bank Policies to his forwarding
address but got no reply. After a month we sent a reminder and finally we
discovered from his contract employers British Water Corporation that Mr. Sean
Burke died in the Korean Air Flight {801}, which crashed in Guam, on August 6,
1997.

On further investigation, we found out that he died without making a Will and
all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further
investigations and discovered that Mr. Sean Burke did not declare any next of
kin or relations in his entire official documents including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$20.9M has been carefully moved out of my bank to a
Financial and
Security Company for safe keeping. No one will ever come forward to claim it
and according to the Law of My country, at the expiration of 10 years
the money
will revert to the Ownership of the British Government, if nobody applies to
claim the Fund. We decided to contact you to assist me receive his money for
safe Keeping and investments on his behalf as everything will be taken over by
the government as provided in section 129 sub 63(N), Africa Banking Edit of
1961.
This prompted us to contact you. We want to front you as the next of
kin of our
late client thereby making you the legal beneficiary of the sum of $20.9
million U.S Dollars that is presently in a Financial and Security Company.
I contacted you because it is against the civil service code of ethics to own
and operate foreign accounts and your assistance would be needed to claim the
money in the Financial and Security Company The Transaction is 100% legal and
totally free of risks as all modalities has been perfected to ensure the hitch
free success of the transaction. Upon my receipt of your reply confirming your
willingness to assist me of this transaction, I will immediately arrange and
transfer all the rights of ownership of this fund to your name to facilitate
your easy clearance and transfer of the complete funds to your country.
You have nothing to worry about, as I will be there to assist you in anyway
necessary with all proper documentation.
If you are interested, send all possible suggestions and interest. Reply as
soon as possible so that we can proceed.
I await your response urgently.
Yours Faithfully,
Chukwu Obiame
