From: Director of Accounts, Union Bank of Nig. Plc. Request for urgent business relationship First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue of it’s being very confidential. I am Dr. Lucas Kuku, a director with the Union Bank of Nigeria (U.B.N) Plc Lagos. I came to know of you in my private search for a reliable and reputable person to handle this confidential transaction which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign bank account requiring maximum confidence. The proposition, an American, Late Engineer Barry Kelly, an oil merchant/contractor with the federal government of Nigeria, until his death three years ago in a ghastly motor accident, banked with us here at union bank of Nigeria plc, Lagos, and had a closing balance of US$25m (Twenty Five Million, Dollars) Dollars), only which the bank now unquestionably expects to be claimed by Mr.Barry's next of kin or alternatively be donated to a discredited trust fund for arms and ammunition at a military war college here in Nigeria. Fervent efforts being made by the union bank of Nigeria plc to get in touch with any of the Barry Kelly's family has proved abortive. It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate late engineer Barry's next of kin (He had no wife or children) that the management under the influence of our chairman and member of the board of directors, retired Major Gen. Bensons Maka, that an arrangement be made for the funds to be declared “Unclaimed” and subsequently be donated to the trust fund for arms and ammunition to further enhance the cause of war in Africa and the world in general. In order to avert this negative development, some of my trusted colleagues and I now seek your permission to have you stand as next-of-kin to Late engineer Barry Kelly so that the funds US$25m would be released and paid into your bank account as the next-of-kin. All documents and proofs to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked out and more so, we are assuring you of 100% percent risk-free involvement. You will get a negotiable percentage of this money for assisting us in this deal. We shall also map out a percentage of this money to take care of incidental expenses that may arise in the course of this transaction. If this proposal is okay by you and assure us that you will not take undue advantage of the trust, we hope to bestow on you and your company. Please, you can also get back to me through my email address lucas_kuku2002@rediffmail.com by furnishing me with your confidential telephone, Fax number and including your banking particulars so that I can use these information to apply for the release and subsequent transfer of the funds in your favour and benefit into your nominated bank account.
