DEAR SIR,
 
I AM MR. SMITH KUNLE, THE BILLS AND EXCHANGE DIRECTOR AT THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE 
REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT OF THE UNION BANK OF NIGERIA PLC, I AM WRITING THIS 
LETTER TO SOLICIT FOR SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE FROM YOU TO CARRY OUT THIS 
BUSINESS OPPORTUINITY IN MY DEPARTMENT.
 
LYING IN AN INACTIVE ACCOUNT IS THE SUM OF $23.8MILLION USD BELONGING TO A 
FOREIGN CUSTOMER (MR. WILLIAM ADAM) WHO HAPPENS TO BE DECEASED. HE DIED WITH 
HIS WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN IN A PLANE CRASH ON BOARD AN ADC AIRLINE FLIGHT AT 
THE EGIRIN RIVER-LAGOS NIGERIA IN JUNE1998.
 
EVER SINCE HE DIED THE BANK HAS BEEN EXPECTING HIS NEXT OF KIN TO COME AND 
CLAIM THESE FUNDS. TO THIS EFFECT WE CANNOT RELEASE THE MONEY UNLESS SOMEONE 
APPLIES FOR IT AS NEXT OF KIN, AS INDICATED IN OUR BANKING GUIDE LINE.
 
UNFORTUNATELY HE HAS NO FAMILY MEMBERS IN NIGERIA OR EUROPE WHO ARE AWARE OF 
THE EXISTENCE OF THE MONEY (AS HE WAS A CONTRACTOR WITH THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF
NIGERIA). AT THIS JUNCTURE I HAVE DECIDED TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU IN 
COLLABORATION WITH OFFICIALS THAT MATTER IN THE BANK; TO THIS EFFECT WE SOLICIT 
YOUR HELP IN APPLYING AS THE NEXT OF KIN THEN THE MONEY WILL BE RELEASED TO YOU.
 
WE DO NOT WANT THIS MONEY TO GO INTO THE BANKS TREASURY AS AN UNCLAIMED BILL. 
THE BANKING LAW AND GUIDE LINE STIPULATES THAT: IF SUCH MONEY (S) REMAINS
UNCLAIMED FOR A PERIOD OF UP TO FOUR YEARS (4YRS) THE MONEY WILL BE TRANSFERRED 
IN TO THE BANKS TREASURY AS UNCLAIMED FUNDS AND WILL BE USED BY HE FEDERAL 
GOVERNMENT TO PURCHASE ARMS AND AMMUNITIONS FOR THE WAR COLLEGE.
 
OUR REQUEST FOR A FOREIGNER AS NEXT OF KIN IS OCCASIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE 
CUSTOMER WAS A FOREIGNER AND A NIGERIAN CANNOT STAND AS NEXT OF KIN.
 
SIR, 30 PERCENT OF THE MONEY WILL BE YOUR SHARE AS A FOREIGN PARTNER. THERAFTER 
MY PARTNERS AND I WILL VISIT YOUR COUNTRY WITH YOUR HELP ONCE THE MONEY HITS
YOUR ACCOUNT FOR DISBURSEMENT ACCORDING TO THE PERCENTAGE INDICATED.
 
THEREFORE, TO ENABLE THE IMMEDIATE TRANSFER OF THE FUND TO YOU AS AGREED, YOU 
MUST APPLY FIRST TO THE BANK AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED, INDICATING 
YOUR BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER AND LOCATION WERE THE MONEY WILL BE REMITTED TO.
 
UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR REPLY, I WILL SEND TO YOU BY FAX OR MAIL THE TEXT OF THE 
APPLICATION AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE THIS TEXT, I WILL FURTHER CLARIFY YOU IN 
OTHER
ISSUES AS IT AFFECTS THE BUSINESS.
 
BEST REGARDS
