Dear Sir,
I am Dr.Robert Adekunle, Bank Manager,South African Development Bank,Lagos branch, Nigeria.
I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.In August , 1997, an expartriate consultant with the Nigerian printing and minting company , Mr.Brian Claude made a numbered time(Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$30,000,000.00,(Thirty Million, us Dollars) in my branch.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month,we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Nigerian printon and milton that Mr. Brian Claude 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. Claude Brian did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$30,000,000.00 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 like you as an Foreigner to stand in as the owner of the money I deposited it in a security
company in two trunk boxes though the security company does not know the contents of the boxes as I tagged them to be photographic
materials for export.
I am writing you because I as a public servant (Manager with the bank),i cannot operate a foreign account or have an account that is more
than $1m.
I want to present you as the owner of the boxes in the security company so you can be able to claim them with the help of my attorney. This is
simple.
I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the
Attorney will prepare the necessary documents which will put you in place as the as the owner of the boxes.
The money will be moved out for us to share in the ratio of 70% for me and 30% for you. There is no risk at
all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and this will guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.
If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email address or call me on Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more
details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall
require your assistance to invest my share in your country.(Buying of properties like houses, hotels etc) Please do send me your
private/mobile telephone fax number so that we can have a smooth communication.
Awaiting your urgent reply via my email or telephone.
Thanks and regards.
Dr.Robert Adekunle.

There's an attachment, too, but I'm not opening it.-g-
Apparently it's a variation on the old "drop the pigeon" scam. You have to give him something so he'll trust you, like money, or your bank account number. Too funny. |
