I am Mr.Luke Robertson, Director of the Auditing and Accounting Department ,Foreign Operations Department of a financial institution I work in. I have an urgent and confidential business proposal for you. On June 6, 1999, an American oil consultant/contractor with (N N P C) Mr. William Barnes made a 12 months numbered time (fixed) deposit worth US$ 30.000.000.00 (Thirty Million United State Dollars) with my bank. This deposit was to secure the American contractor's bid for the job of constructing a pipeline from Nigeria to the Republic of Ghana to supply oil and gas around the West African Sub Region. On maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarded address but got no reply. After months we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employee (N N P C) that Mr. William Barnes was involved in a plane crash with Egyptian Airline 990 as you can see from the website below; http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/world/americas/502503.stm I therefore made some investigations and discovered that Late Mr. William Barnes did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents including his deposit document in my bank. The total sum of US$30,000,000.00 is still in my bank as dormant account. No one will ever come forward to claim it, for according to our banking law, after 7 (SEVEN) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Government . If the account owner is certified death and nobody comes forward to claim it. This is the situation, and my proposal is that I am asking for your assistance to stand in is the beneficiary to Late Mr. William Barnes, for us to transfer the money.
