I got this in my e-mail today. Interesting, but first of all, I'm not a "sir" (at least not last time I checked!) and it sounds hoaxish!
--------------------------------------
Dear Sir,
I am Mr. William (Bill) Eke, Bank Manager of Orient
Bank of Nigeria,
Lagos Branch. I have urgent and very confidential
business proposition for you.
On June 6, 1997, an American 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$25,000,000.00 (Twenty- five 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 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$25,000,000.00
is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being
rolled over
with the principal sum at the end of each year. No
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 American
to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Barry Kelly so
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 and affidavits which
will put you
in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the
service of two
Attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and
to obtain
the necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in
your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any
part of the
world which you will provide will then facilitate the
transfer of
this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The
money will
be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio
of 60% for me and 40% for you.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this
transaction
will be done by the Attorney and my position as the
Branch Manager
guarantees the successful execution of this
transaction. If you
are interested, please reply immediately via the
private email address
below. 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.
