I have a very urgent & confidential business proposition for you & for our overall mutual interest. On june 6 1997,an American oilconsultant/contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Mr Barry Kelly made a numbered time(fixed) deposit for twelve calendar months,valued at USD$25,000,000.00(twenty five million dollars) in my branch.Upon maturity,i sent a routine notification to his forwarded address but got no reply.After a month we sent a reminder,& finally we discovered from his contract employers NNPC,that Mr. Barry died in an automobile accident.On further investigation,i found out that he did not leave a WILL & all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless.I therefore made further investigation & discovered that Mr.Barry did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents,including his bank deposit paperwork.
This sum USD $25,million usa dollar is still floating in the bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.No one will come forward to claimit.According to Nigerian Laws, At the expiration of 7 years,the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
