Subject: #Matured Trusted Business Proposal# 


Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Rev Jacob Ovia Bank Manager of Zenith Bank, Lagos, Nigeria. I

have urgent and Very confidential business proposition for you. In June 14, 1998, an Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum

Corporation, Mr.Barry Kelly made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for

twelve calendar months, valued at US$20,000,000.00 (Twenty Million Dollars)

in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding

address but got no reply. After a month, I sent a reminder and finally I

discovered from his contract employers, the Nigerian National Petroleum

Corporation that Mr. Barry Kelly died from an automobile accident.

On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a

WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore

made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Barry Kelly did not

declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank

Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$20,000,000.00 has

carefully been moved out of my bank to a security company for safekeeping. No

one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian Law, at the

expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the

Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will want you as a Foreigner to

stand as the next of kin. I am writing you because as a public servant

(Manager with the bank), I cannot operate a foreign account or have an account that

is more than $1m. I therefore want to present you as the next of kin (the

rightful owner of the fund) so that you can be able to claim it with the

help of an accredited attorney.

Finally, I urge you to provide immediately your full names, phone/fax

numbers and your current mailing address so as to enable us commence

the paperwork that will present you as the rightful beneficiary (next of

kin) of the fund. As soon as the money is transferred to you

70% is for me while 20% is for you. Please reply immediately via my

Email address. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more

details that will help you understand this hitch free (risk free)

transaction.

Thanks and God bless.

Rev Jacob Ovia
