From: "DR.HALILU AKILU" Date: 2003-07-29T17:58:46+09:00 Subject: URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL City Bank Of Nigeria Plc Victoria Island Lagos, Nigeria Request For Foreign Partner Dear friend, I sincerely write to seek your co-operation and trust to enable my colleagues and I carry out an urgent business opportunity in my department. I work with the City Express Bank Of Nig. Plc; currently I am the senior manager of bills and exchange at the foreign remittance department of my bank. I was the account officer to one Mr. Ali Johnston Bryon who died along with his family on the 8th of November 1999, in an ADC Boeing 727 plane crash at Egirin River. All 141 passengers on board were feared dead. He left in his domiciliary account the total sum of $15.5million Fifteen million five hundred thousand USA Dollars. Since the management got the information of his death we have been expecting any of his relation or his next of kin to come up and claim his money. Unfortunately from the day of his death till the time of this letter none of his relation or friends has come up for the claim. The banking and financial law of City Express Bank Of Nig Plc, Stipulates that if such fund remained unclaimed after a period of four (4 years) it will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. On this discovery , I and two other senior staffs now decided do business with you and release the money to you as the next of kin to Ali Johnston Bryon, for safety and subsequent disbursement. I will soon proceed for my retirement leave this year, and I personally do not want this fund to be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. That is why I wanted the fund to be move out of the bank before I proceed on my retirement from the banking services. The need for a foreigner as next of kin in this project is occasioned by the fact that the customer Mr. Ali Johnston Bryon was a foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand as his next of kin or heir. We have agreed that 30% of the Fund would be for you as foreign partner; thereafter my colleague and I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. To enable the immediate transfer of the fund into your nominated account, you will first apply to the bank as the next of kin of the deceased, indicating your bank account number and location wherein the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your acknowledgement indicating your interest, I will send to you the text of the application that you will send to the City Express bank of Nig Plc authority for an approval to submit your claims. Send your reply through my Email Address; halilu_akilu@kukamail.com and indicate your direct Fax and telephone numbers for effective communication that this transaction needs. Looking forward to urgently hearing from you. Thanks Yours faithfully Halilu Akilu
