ATTN:THE PRESIDENT/C.E.O.


Dear Sir/Madam,
I am DR. Yetunde Bassey. Bank


Manager of Diamond Bank of


Nigeria,
Lagos Branch. I have urgent and


very
confidential business


proposition for you.


On June 6, 1999, a FOREIGN 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 Foreigner to stand in as the


next of kin to Mr.
Barry Kelly so that the fruits
