Dear Friend, My name is Mr.kwabena benson, I am the Regional Manager In a Zenith Bank in LAGOS NIGERIA. I came to know you in my Private Search for a reliable and reputable person to handle this confidential transaction. I write you this proposal in good faith. I have a financial transaction that will benefit both of us. On the 4th of August 2011, a Cyprus Oil consultant/Merchant with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (N.N.P.C) by name Mr. Chris Peppos made a fixed deposit of Six Million Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand United State Dollars ($6,850,000.00) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a notification letter to him via his address but got no reply. After a month, I sent a reminder and finally discovered that Mr.Chris Peppos is dead. He died on a ghastly motor accident, and since then all attempts made to trace his relations were fruitless neither has anyone shown up as his next of kin to claim his money. However,Nigeria Banking laws states that, if such money remains unclaimed for the period of years, the money will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. Therefore, my proposal is that hence nobody has showed up as a next of kin to Mr. Chris Peppos, I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr.Chris Peppos to claim this fund for our mutual benefit. Be informed that the reason for a foreigner as next of kin in this deal is necessary given the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand as his next of kin. I will give you 35% of this money for your assistance while 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the execution of this deal and 55% will be for me. Upon your acceptance, I shall provide you with more details and relevant documents that will enable you stand firmly as the next of kin to Mr.Chris Peppos. Should this be acceptable to you, kindly indicate in writing and confirm the following: Full Name: ....................... Contact Address: ....................... Direct Telephone Number: ...................... Age: ....................... Occupation and Position: ...................... Marriage Status: ....................... Gender: ....................... I want to emphasize here that this deal is free from any form of risk from both parties as great care has been exercised in perfecting it, and therefore, I enjoin you to approach it with an open mind and without any fear whatsoever. As a deal, I also make haste to advice that you should be private about it. Best Regards, Mr.kwabena benson,
