I am Suleman , Bank Manager of Zenith Bank,
Lagos, Nigeria. I have urgent and very confidential
business proposition for you.
On June 6, 1997, a 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$26,500,000.00,
(Twenty-six Million,five hundred thousand 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 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$26,500,000.00 has carefully been moved out of my
bank to a security company for safe-keeping.
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 can not 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.All these are to make sure that the
fruits of this old man's labor will not get into
the hands of some corrupt government officials.
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 60% for me and 40% for you. There is no risk
at all as all the paperworkS 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.And also send your Telephone and fax
numbers so that we can have a smooth communication.
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)
Awaiting your urgent reply via my email.

am Hajia Maryam Abacha, widow of the Late Gen. Sani Abacha former Nigerian
Military Head of State who died as a result of cardiac arrest.
The name of you company appeared in one of our directories as one of the
companies my late husband wanted to do businesswith before he died.
I therefore decided to contact you in confidence so that I can be able to move
out the sum of US$35,760,000.00 ( Thirty Five Million Seven hundred and Sixty
Thousand U. S. Dollars ) which was secretly
defaced and seal in big metal box for security reasons in your account.
I personally therefore appeal to you for your urgent assistance to move this
money into your country where I believe it will be safe since I cannot leave the
country due to the restriction of movement imposed on
me and members of my family by the Nigerian government.
You can contact me through, or my family lawyer . Upon the receipt of your
acceptance to assist me, my lawyer shall arrange with you for a face to face
meeting outside Nigeria in order to liaise with him towards the effective
completion of this transaction.
However, arrangement has been put in place to move this money out of the country
in batches in a secret vault through a diplomatic security company to any of the
European country as soon as you indicate your
interest. I also want you to be assured that all necessary arrangement for the
hitch-free of thistransaction has been concluded.
Conclusively, I have decided to offer you 25% of the total sum 5% will be for
whatever expenses that will be incurred, while 70% is to be used in buying share
in your company subsequent to our free movement by the Nigerian government.
Please reply urgently and treat with absolute confidentiality and sincerity.
