Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2006 13:02:04 -0300 From: mich_smith@zipmail.com.br Subject: DEAR GOOD FRIEND! To: Dear friend, I am Mr. Michael Smith, a senior staff of Universal Trust Bank Nigeria. PLC, Lagos Branch and account officer to late Mr. Robert a national of your country who died along with his wife and his two sons in a BELLVIEW plane crash on 22nd October 2005 and All the 117 passangers on board lost their lives. Please for more details, visit these website: http://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/africa/10/23/nigeria.plane/index.html I have a very urgent and confidential business proposition for you for our overall mutual interest. Mr. Robert was a successful and an accomplished family man, who made enough fortune before his untimely death. Since then I had made several inquiries through your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives through the Internet, but to locate any member of his family, not much progress was recorded. Late Mr. Robert was an influential wealthy businessman, an oil magnet here in my country and he left behind a deposit of Sixteen Million, Three Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only ($16,300,000.00usd) in his domiciliary bank account in my bank branch here in Nigeria. After the death of Mr Robert, news get to our bank, as his account officer I am in position to provide his next of kin or any of his relatives through a lawyer who should inherit his fortune. The board of directors of my bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated me to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money or forfeit the money to the bank as an abandoned property. The bankers had planned to invoke the abandoned property degree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given to me. Despairing at the point of exhaustiveness, fortunately, I came across your name, to my utmost amazement, I discovered that you bear the same surname with Mr. Robert and coincidentally, you are nationals of the same country. I am Convinced that you may be linked with late Mr. Robert, I therefore, decided to contact you with these facts before me because of the similarities . By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate family, I am very much aware of my Mr. Robert's financial standing. I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as the next of kin of late Mr. Robert, so that you can be paid the funds left in his bank account, and also claim the US$100,000:00 compensation BELLVIEW AIR LINES are paying to the family of the victims of the crash, hence I contacted you. I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are at an advantage, bearing the same surname and equally from the same country, so that the proceeds of this Bank Account valued at $16.3 Million Dollars can be paid to you. We shall both share the funds; 45% to me and 50% to you, while 5% should be for Expenses or Tax as Government may require. I shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents that will be used to back up our claim through a lawyer and i will also use my position as the senior staff of the bank to ensure that every arrangement concerning the transfer of the fund into your designated bank account is facilitated without delay. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. Please get in touch with me by email to enable us discuss further. For privacy and confidentiality reply me using my email : michaels_utbank@yahoo.com Yours truly, Mr. Michael Smith. Head Of Operation, Universal Trust Bank PLC.
