Unity Bank Plc. No. 42, Oba Akran Avenue P.O. Box 1665 Ikeja, Lagos Tel: 234 1 8759890 Fax: 234 1 5559361 Date: 07-10-08
From the desk of: Mr. Aminu Issa Maiyaki Accounts and Audit Department
Hello my friend,
Firstly, I know my letter will come to you as a surprise. But behold I got your contact email address through your country's chambers of commerce and Industry business directory.
Well, I am the director of Accounts and Audit Department of Unity Bank Plc (Nigeria). I decided to contact you today after a careful thought that you may be reliable, trustworthy and capable of handling this business transaction which I explained below.
In my department we discovered a floating sum of Six million,five hundred thousand United states dollars ($6,500 000.00) in a dormant dormicilary account that belongs to one of our foreign contractor (late Mr. Dasne Minnelli Miguez) who died along with his entire family in 2002 in a plane crash. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting any of his family member to come-up and claim this executed contract payment because the Unity Bank Plc cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as a next of kin or business associate to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
But unfortunately, we learnt from our records that his supposed next of kin, his son and wife died alongside with him in the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this subject that I and other director who knew about this matter concealed our finding and decided to make this business proposal to you. We want to present you to our Bank as a business associate Or next of kin to (late Mr. Dasne Minnelli Miguez), so that the proceeds of this contract payment fund valued ($6,500 000.00) will be paid to you as the next of kin to our late foreign contractor, and more-over nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
Our banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained un-claimed after seven years, the money will be reverted into the bank treasury as unclaimed floating fund. The request of you to stand as a relation and next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that late Mr. Dasne Minnelli Miguez was a foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner .
Note that this money will be paid to you as the next of kin to our late customer. Then thereafter the transfer, we share it in the ratio of 60% for us, 35% for you. While the remaining 5% will be used to defray all the expenses that we may likely incurre during the course of this transaction.
1. I will like you to provide me immediately with your full names and address 2. Your telephone and mobile phone numbers where I can always reach you for any update.
There is no risk at all because I have all the contract document details as contained in his payment file now in my custody, which will facilitate and guarantee the successful execution of this transaction such like his Contract award certificate and Contract executed completion certificate.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us.
If you are interested, please call me immediately on my mobile# 234 1 8759890.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Aminu Issa Maiyaki

Re: Us$5.8Million 48hours Transfer immediately
Dear Friend.
I am Dr Joshua Ekene. the Executive Director of UNITY BANK PLC, since my assumption of office, I have been able to offset most Overdue Contract sums (USD$5.8Million) owed by the Government of Nigeria to Foreign contractors in the past years.
In the process of these payments I discovered through investigation that my predecessor was about to move the above-mentioned sum, but was unable to conclude the transaction before he was removed out of office. I kept this within myself and I requested for the bank code change, this was done successfully for my predecessor not to have access to the bank information. The fund originated from the balance of over-invoiced sum and Inflated government contracts of which the principal sum had been paid to foreign contactors that executed their contract some years ago. This fund is now floating in a suspense account of our bank and will be moved by electronic telegraphic transfer within 48hours in another way bank transfer of perfection of your account coordinates. I have concluded all necessary Arrangements to move this fund out; contacting you on this issue became imperative to owing to the fact that the transfer cannot be effected without a second party involved.
Therefore, what is required from you is trust and honesty, no further documentation; just to change the ownership to your name. I will forward an account where my share will be further transferred to, when the money reaches your bank. At the moment I can only give information that are reasonably able to assist the transaction without jeopardizing my personal effort on this transaction.
