MR. MODUPE JOHNSON, 
UNION BANK OF NIGERIA PLC.  
LAGOS,


DEAR SIR, 
I MUST SOLICIT YOUR CONFIDENCE IN THIS TRANSACTION.THIS IS BY VIRTUE
OF IT'S NATURE AS BEING UTTERLY CONFIDENTIAL AND TOP SECRET.THOUGH
I KNOW THAT A TRANSACTION OF THIS MAGNITUDE WILL MAKE ANYONE
APPREHENSIVE AND WORRIED.BUT I AM ASSURING YOU THAT ALL WILL BE
WELL AT THE END OF THE DAY.


WE HAVE DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU THROUGH THIS MEDIUM DUE TO THE URGENCY
OF THIS TRANSACTION AS WE HAVE BEEN RELIABLY INFORMED OF YOUR
DISCRETENESS AND ABILITY. LET ME START BY INTRODUCING MYSELF TO YOU.
I AM MR. MODUPE JOHNSON ,AN ACCOUNTANT WITH THE UNION BANK OF
NIGERIA PLC  LAGOS.


I CAME TO KNOW ABOUT YOU IN MY PRIVATE SEARCH FOR A RELIABLE AND
REPUTABLE PERSON TO HANDLE THIS CONFIDENTIAL TRANSACTION AS WE ARE
STILL IN ACTIVE SERVICE. 


THE PROPOSITION.
AN AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL,LATE ENGINEER BUTCH R.MIGUEL,AN OIL
MERCHANT/CONTRACTOR WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA, UNTIL
HIS DEATH THREE YEARS AGO IN A GHASTLY AIR CRASH IN AN EGYPT AIR,
FLIGHT 990 WHICH OCCURED ON 2ND NOVEMBER 1999, BANKED WITH US HERE
AT UNION BANK OF NIGERIA . MARINA BRANCH LAGOS,AND HAD A CLOSSING
BALANCE OF US$20M(TWENTY MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) IN A FIXED
DEPOSIT ACCOUNT,WHICH THE BANK UNQUESTIONABLY EXPECTS IT TO BE
CLAIMED BY ANY AVAILABLE FOREIGN NEXT-OF-KIN TO THE LATE BENEFICIARY
OR ALTERNATIVELY BE DONATED TO A DISCREDITED TRUST FUND FOR THE
PURCHASE OF ARMS AND AMMUNITIONS AT THE MILITARY WAR COLLEGE IN
KADUNA STATE HERE IN NORTHERN NIGERIA. 


SEQUEL TO THIS,FERVENT VALUABLE EFFORTS WERE MADE BY UNION BANK
OF NIGERIA TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ANY OF THE MIGUEL'S FAMILY OR
RELATIVES BUT PROVED TO NO AVAIL.IT IS BECAUSE OF THE PERCEIVED
POSIBILITY OF NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCATE ANY OF THE LATE ENGR.
BUTCH R. MIGUEL'S NEXT-OF-KIN(HE HAD NO KNOWN WIFE AND CHILDREN)
THAT THE MANAGEMENT UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF OUR HONOURABLE CHAIRMAN
AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS,MAJOR-GENERAL KALU UKE KALU(Rtd),
THAT AN ARRANGEMENT BE MADE FOR THE FUND TO BE DECLARED"UN-CLAIMABLE"
AND SUBSIQUENTLY BE DONATED TO THE TRUST FUND FOR THE PURCHASE OF
ARMS AND AMMUNITON TO FURTHER ENHANCE THE COURSE OF WAR IN AFRICA
AND THE WORLD IN GENERAL.


IN ORDER TO AVERT THIS CRUDE AND NEGATIVE DEVELOPMENT,SOME OF MY
TRUSTED COLLEAGUES AND I NOW SEEK YOUR PERMISSION TO HAVE YOU STAND
AS THE NEXT-OF-KIN TO LATE ENGR. BUTCH R.MIGUEL, SO THAT THE FUND
US$20.M CAN BE CLAIMED THROUGH YOU AS THE BENEFICIARY'S NEXT-OF KIN.
ALL DOCUMENTS AND PROVES TO ENABLE THE RECIEPT HAS BEEN CAREFULLY
WORKED OUT 


MORESO AS PROFESSIONAL BANKERS, WE ARE ASSURING YOU OF 100% RISK-FREE
INVOLVEMENT. YOUR SHARE STAYS WHILE THE REST WILL BE FOR MYSELF AND
MY COLLEAGUES FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES IN YOUR COUNTRY. NOTE THAT THIS
TRANSACTION WILL STRICTLY BE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND
CONDITIONS AS I HAVE STATED BELOW, AS WE HAVE HEARD CONFIRMED CASES
OF BUSINESS ASSOCIATES RUNNING AWAY WITH FUNDS KEPT IN THEIR CUSTODY
WHEN IT IS FINALLY CLAIMED. A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE IS THE ONE OF
MR. PETER HOPWOOD,THE PRESIDENT OF MILEAGE TRADING AND INVESTMENT
COMPANY AT NUMBER 121, WEST 55TH STREET,21st FLOOR,NEW YORK 10022,
AND THE FORMER CHAIRMAN OF OMPADEC(MR PATRICK OPIA)WHOM WE WERE
RELIABLY INFORMED THAT AFTER THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN BOTH PARTNERS IN
WHICH HE WAS TO TAKE 15% OF THE MONEY WHILE THE REMAINING 85% FOR
THE NIGERIAN OFFICIALS. WITH ALL THE REMAINING DOCUMENTS SIGNED, THE
MONEY WAS DULY TRANSFERED INTO MR HOPWOOD'S ACCOUNT, ONLY TO BE
DISAPPOINTED ON THEIR ARRIVAL IN NEW YORK AND WERE INFORMED THAT
MR PETER HOPWOOD WAS NO LONGER ON THAT ADDRESS, WHILE HIS TELEPHONE
AND FAX NUMBERS HAD BEEN RE-ALLOCATED TO SOME BODY ELSE. THIS WAS
HOW THEY LOST US$18.5M TO MR HOPWOOD.THIS IS A VERY RECENT STORY
HERE IN MY COUNTRY AND EVERYBODY IS AWARE OF THIS.
SOME OF THE OFFICIALS DECIDED TO CRY OUT AND FACE THE LAW, BECAUSE
THEY FELT THEY HAD LOST SO MUCH TO A STRANGER, WHILE THE CHAIRMAN
OF OMPADEC(MR PATRICK OPIA)IS NOW HIDDING IN A FORIEGN COUNTRY.
SO RIGHT NOW, I AM TAKING ALL PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES TO GUARD AGAINST
THE RE-OCCURENCE OF SUCH ACT IN OUR CASE. THIS IS WHY I HAVE DECIDED
THAT THIS TRANSACTION WILL BE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING:- 


(a) OUR CONVICTION OF YOUR TRANSPARENCY, HONESTY AND DILIGENCE. 


(b) THAT YOU WILL TREAT THIS TRANSACTION WITH UTMOST SECRECY AND
CONFIDENTIALITY.


 (c) YOU MUST BE READY TO PRODUCE US WITH ENOUGH INFORMATION ABOUT
YOURSELF TO PUT OUR MINDS AT REST. 


(d) THAT UPON RECIEPT OF THE FUND,YOU WILL PROMPTLY RELEASE OUR
SHARE ON DEMAND AFTER YOU HAVE DEDUCTED YOUR 20%. YOUR URGENCY WILL
BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED AS WE ARE ALREADY BEHIND SCHEDULE FOR THIS
FINANCIAL QUATER. IF THIS PROPOSAL IS ALRIGHT BY YOU,THEN KINDLY
GET TO ME IMMEDIATELY ON MY PRIVATE PHONE NUMBER: 234-1-4813278
FOR CONFIDENTIALITY OR REPLY TO EMAIL: modupejohnson@consultant.com
