ATTN:

    I am MR HENRY EMEKA PETERS Bank Manager of Union
Bank of NIGERIA.I 
have
an urgent and confidential business proposal for you.
PROPOSAL:

    On June 6, 1999, an American oil
merchant/Contractor with the 
NIGERIAN
NATIONAL PETROLEUM COPORATION, MR KEN POWER, made a
numbered 
time(Fixed)
Deposit for twelve (12) calendar Months,valued at
US$28,000,000.00 
(Twenty-Eight
Million 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 COPORATION that MR KEN POWER 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
friutless. I 
therefore
made further investigation and discovered that MR KEN
POWER did not 
declare
any KIN OR RELATIONS IN ALL HIS OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS,
INCLUDING HIS BANK 
DEPOSIT
PAPER WORK IN MY BANK. This sum of US$28,000,000.00 is
still sitting in
my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the
principal sum at
the end of each year. NO PERSON WILL EVER COME FOWARD
TO CLAIM IT. 
According
to NIGERIAN LAW, at the expiration of 5(FIVE) YEARS,
the money will 
revert
to the ownership of the NIGERIAN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IF
NOBODY APPLIES 
TO
CLAIM THE FUND.

    Consequently, my proposal is that I WANT YOU TO
STAND IN AS THE 
NEXT
OF KIN/BENEFICIARY OF THIS FUND. So that the fruits of
this old man?s 
labour
will not get into the hands of some corrupt government
officials.

the
DRAFTING AND NOTARISATION OF THE WILL, AND FOR
OBTAINING ALL NECESSARY

    For your assistance, you will be adequately
compensated with 40%) 
of
the total sum. (55%) will be my own share while (5%)
