 Dear Sir,
 STRICTLY A PRIVATE BUSINESS PROPOSAL
 
 I am Mr Mustapha Alfa, The manager, Bills and Exchange at the Foreign
 Remittance Department of the Union Bank of Nigeria Plc. I am writing this
 letter to ask for your support and cooperation to carry out this business
 opportunity in my department. We discovered an abandoned sum of
 $15,000,000.00 (Fifteen million United States Dollars only) in an account
 that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire
 family of a wife and two children in November 1997 in a Plane crash.
 
 Since we heard of his death, we have been expecting his next-of-kin to come
 over and put claims for his money as the heir, because we cannot release the
 fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to
 the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Unfortunately, neither
 their family member nor distant relative has ever appeared to claim the said
 fund. Upon this discovery, I and other officials in my department have
 agreed to make business with you and release the total amount into your
 account as the heir of the fund since no one came for it or discovered he
 maintained account with our bank, otherwise the fund will be returned to the
 banks treasury as unclaimed fund.
 
 We have agreed that our ratio of sharing will be as stated thus;
 20 % for you as foreign partner,
 75 % for us the officials in my department and
 5 % for the settlement of all local and foreign expences incurred by us
 and you during the course of this business.
 
 Upon the successful completion of this transfer, I and one of my colleagues
 will come to your country and mind our share. It is from our 75 % we intend
 to import Agricultural Machineries into my country as a way of recycling the
 fund. To commence this transaction, we require you to immediately indicate
 your interest by a return e-mail and enclose your private contact telephone
 number, fax number full name and address and your designated bank
 coordinates to enable us file letter of claim to the appropriate departments
 for necessary approvals before the transfer can be made.
 
 Note also, this transaction must be kept STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL because of
 its nature.
 
 I look forward to receiving your prompt response.
 
 Mr Mustapha Alfa.
 Union Bank of Nigeria.
