Dear Friend, I am DR.THOMAS OKON.The Manager Gulf Bank, 
Lagos, Nigeria. I have urgent and-ery confidential 
business proposition for you. On April 6, 1996, a Foreign 
Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National 
Petroleum Corporation, Mr.james smith made a numbered time 
(Fixed) Deposit for some months, valued at S$10,500,000.00 
(Ten Million Five hundred Thousand 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 Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that 
Mr. james smith on 1 February 1997 died in a plane crash 
on air senegal on aircraft Name Hawker Siddeley HS-748. 
This crash happened in Tambacoumba, Senegal, Africa and 
the registration number of the aircraft is 6AV-AEO, and 
since his untimely death the funds has been dormant in his 
account with my Bank without any claim of the fund On 
further investigation, I found out that he died without 
making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin 
was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and 
discovered that Mr. james smith did not declare any kin or 
relations in all his official documents, including his 
Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of 
US$10,500,000.00 has carefully been moved out of my bank 
to a security company for safe-keeping.No one will ever 
come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian Law,at the 
expiration of 8 (eight) 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 as a Foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to 
the late mr.james smith as to cla im the money I deposited 
with the security company in two trunk boxes though the 
security company does not know the real contents of t he 
boxes as I tagged them to be photographic materials for 
export.am writing you because as a public servant, we can 
not operate a foreign account or have an account that is 
more than $1m.I want to present you as the owner of the 
boxes in the security company so you can be able to claim 
them with the help of my attorney.All these are to make 
sure that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get 
into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This 
is simple.I will like you to provide immediately your full 
names and address so that the Attorney will prepare the 
necessary documents which will put you in place as the 
owner of the boxes. The money will be moved out for us to 
share in the ratio of 70% for me and 25% for you and 5% 
will take care of all expenses incure on both side.There 
is no risk a t all as all the paperwork for this 
transaction will be done by the Attorney and this will 
guarantee the successful execution of this transaction. if 
you are interested, pleas e reply immediately via my email 
address/phone upon your response, I shall then provide you 
with more details and relevant documents that will help 
you understand the transaction. Please observe with utmost 
confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction 
would be most profitable for both of us because I shall 
require your assistance to invest my share in your 
country. Please reply to  my private mail box 
[email-masked]. Hoping to hear from you. 
REGARDS. DR.THOMAS OKON.
