Dear Friend,
I am DR.THOMAS OKON.The Manager Gulf Bank, Lagos,
Nigeria. I have urgent and-ery confidential business
proposition for you. On April 6, 1996, a Foreign Oil
consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation, Mr.james smith made a numbered time (Fixed)
Deposit for some months, valued at S$10,500,000.00 (Ten
Million Five hundred Thousand Dollars only) 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. james
smith on 1 February 1997 died in a plane crash on air
senegal on aircraft Name Hawker Siddeley HS-748. This
crash happened in Tambacoumba, Senegal, Africa and the
registration number of the aircraft is 6AV-AEO, and since
his untimely death the funds has been dormant in his
account with my Bank without any claim of the fund 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. james smith did not declare any kin or
relations in all his official documents, including his
Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
US$10,500,000.00 has carefully been moved out of my bank
to a security company for safe-keeping.No one will ever
come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian Law,at the
expiration of 8 (eight) 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 a Foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to
the late mr.james smith as to cla im the money I deposited
with the security company in two trunk boxes though the
security company does not know the real contents of t he
boxes as I tagged them to be photographic materials for
export.am writing you because as a public servant, we can
not operate a foreign account or have an account that is
more than $1m.I want to present you as the owner of the
boxes in the security company so you can be able to claim
them with the help of my attorney.All these are to make
sure 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 which will put you in place as the
owner of the boxes. The money will be moved out for us to
share in the ratio of 70% for me and 25% for you and 5%
will take care of all expenses incure on both side.There
is no risk a t all as all the paperwork for this
transaction will be done by the Attorney and this will
guarantee the successful execution of this transaction. if
you are interested, pleas e reply immediately via my email
address/phone upon your response, I shall then provide you
with more details and relevant documents that will help
you understand the transaction.


Please observe with utmost confidentiality, and be 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. Please reply to my
private mail box drtms2@msn.com
Hoping to hear from you.


REGARDS, DR.THOMAS OKON.
