Dear friend,

I am writing, following the impressive information about your profile through the website, Your capability and reliability to champion this opportunity.

I am a secretary to the Bill and Exchange control officer of the operation department of my bank. Equatorial Trust Bank Plc Lagos -Nigeria. In my department, we discovered an abandonedsum of US$27.8
million Dollars (Twenty Seven million Eighty US dollars). In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers MR KELVIN SMITH ,Upon
maturity, my boss sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month,he sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers that he died in aplane crash in September,1999.
Since we got the information about his death, we have been expecting his next of Kin to come over to claim his money because we can not release it unless somebody applies for it as next of Kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking andfinancialpolicies but unfortunately we learnt that his supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him in the accident leaving no body behind to claim the money.

It is therefore upon this discovery that I am writing you as the secretary to the operation manager who is privy to the information for you to apply for the funds as the beneficiary next of kin to the money.

My department may decided to release the money for share within our top bank officials instead of retuning it to the bank treasury. So,you should apply as the next of kin or relation to the deceased , since
nobody is coming for it and we do not want this money togo into the Bank treasury as unclaimed funds or shared among our top officials, instead we can use the money for ourselves and for orphanage homes.

The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after (4)four years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request for a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that as a
public servant(Junior staff with the bank), I cannot operate a foreign account or have an account that is more than US$100,000.00 equivalent.

Aside, the customer was a foreigner and an indigene cannot stand as next of kin to the deceased family. My kindness will be for you as foreign partner to indicate what you want, in respect to the provision of a foreign account. 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred
during this transaction , 20% for orphanage .
There after,I shall visit your country, for disbursement according to our agreed terms.

Therefore to enable the claim of this funds by you, you must apply first to the Bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your private, telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be remitted.

Upon receipt of your reply, I will give you the details.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements
shall be made for the transfer.

I decided to contact you as you have products of interest in your part of the world where we can invest my own share to avoid people awareness as a civil servants. Please keep this very confidential. Contact me for more information, all confirmable before you apply if you want May God be with you.

Trusting to hear from you shortly on my alternative email address: r_bello77@indiatimes.com , only for a detailed information once you make

up your mind to apply.
Also forward your private telephone/fax numbers so I can make clarification to you.

Yours faithfully,

Mr.Ribadun Bello
