FROM THE DESK OF PAUL OKOYE
STANDARD TRUST BANK PLC

I hope this letter will not embarrass you since we have not had any
previous communication.  I got your reference from your country`s trade
department under private enquiry that is not related to my aim of
writing you this letter and went further to have it confirmed by the
Nigeria Exports Promotion Council(NEPC). 

I am Mr. Peter Okoye, a Bank Manager of Standard Trust Bank Plc, Lagos
Balogun Branch.  I have urgent and very confidential business
proposition for you. On June 6, 2000, an American Oil
Consultant/Contractor with the National Oil Nigeria Ltd. Mr. Robert Noel
made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months. Valued
at US$48,000,000.00 (Forty-Eight Million United States Dollars only) in
my branch upon maturity.

I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no
reply.  After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from
his contract employers the National Oil Nigeria LTD that Mr. Robert Noel
died on air crash in ADC Airline going to Abuja our Federal Capital
Territory. On further investigation, I found out that he died without
making ^ÓWILL^Ô, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was
fruitless.

I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Robert
Noel did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official
documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
US$48,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being
rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will
ever come forward to claim it. According to Nigeria Law, at the
expiration of 5 (Five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of
the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you to act as the next kin
to Mr. Robert Noel so that the fruits of this old man^Ňs labour will not
get into the hands of some corrupt government officials here.

This transaction is very simple and 100% risk free, therefore I will
like you to provide immediately your full name and address so that an
Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits, which will
put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the service of an
Attorney for drafting and notarization of the ^ÓWILL^Ô and to obtain the
necessary documents and letter of probate and realization in your favour
for the transfer.

A Bank Account in any part of the world, which you will provide will
then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the
beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your Account for us
to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 30% for you and 10% will be for
expences both parties might have incured during the process of
transfering the money.Try and call me on my private number immediately
you recieve this email on 234-1-7760497 or write me back on my private
email address(okpaul@gawab.com) for further explanations.

I look forward to your earlist response to my proposal.

Yours Truly.
Mr Peter Okoye
Branch Manager.
