MR.BEN OKONJI
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK NIG. PLC
19/21 AMADU BELLO WAY,
VICTORIA ISLAND
P. O. BOX 52160, FALOMO,
LAGOS, NIGERIA
UNIT3K NG.

Hello Watson,

With due respect, trust and humility, I write you this
proposal believing that it will receive the most desired attention from
you even as we have not had any previous correspondence, Although, I am
constrained by insufficient information about you, but I will express
in full the main objectives of this proposal. I am MR.BEN OKONJI,
Manager Bills and Treasury Department with the African Development Bank
Nig. PLC. I got your contact over the Internet in my search for the
relatives of one of our numerous customers who died accidentally
alongside with his family having discovered that you share the same
Name.

In my branch, there is an abandoned sum of Six Million, Eight
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($6.8M) in an account belonging
to one of our foreign customers Engineer Douglas Watson who used to
work with a mining consultant/contractor with one of the leading oil
company in Nigeria, who died alongside with his entire family on
Saturday, 4 May, 2002 in a plane crash. Ever since then, I have been
expecting his relatives or next of kin to come over and claim his money
because it cannot be claimed unless somebody applies as his next of kin
as indicated in our banking guide.

Unfortunately, I discovered that
all his supposed next of kin (his wife and children) died with him over
the plane crash incident. Over the years, I decided to look for the
necessary papers relating to the deposit in order to make business out
of it as the deposit was made in my branch. Now that all papers are
ready, I am asking for your assistant to release the money to you as
his relation for safekeeping and subsequent disbursement. You are being
contacted because you share the same name with the deceased. Since
nobody showed up for his money and I do not want it to go back into
Federal Government account as unclaimed bill when the next audit is
conducted. The banking law and guideline here stipulates that such
money if remain unclaimed after maturity, will be transferred into
banking treasury as unclaimed effect.

The request of a foreigner to
act as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the
customer was a foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand as next of kin to
a foreigner. You are most qualified in this transaction as you share
the same name with the deceased. I am ready to negotiate the mode of
sharing with you.

I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction is 100% hitch-free and that there is absolutely no risk at
all in this as I have concluded the modalities for a smooth operation
and my position guarantee its successful execution. All I require is
your honest co-operation, a guarantee of your sincerity and capability
to enable us conclude this deal. Please due to the nature of this
transaction, we advice that you maintain absolute confidentiality while
it lasts. if you are interested Kindly reply through my alternative
mail: (benokonji@accountant.com). Please include your Telephone number
and fax for fast communication.

Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Best regards,
Mr. Ben Okonji.
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK NIG. PLC.
