Dear Sir,

First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue of 
its nature as being utterly, CONFIDENTIAL, though I know that a
transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried,but I 
am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. I have decided to 
contact you because of the urgency of this transaction.

Let me start by first introducing myself properly to you. I am DR.OLUSHEGUN 
COLE, a director at the union bank of Nigeria Plc, Lagos.
I came to know of you in a private search for a reliable and reputable person 
to handle a very confidencial transaction which involves the transfer of a huge 
sum of money to a forieng account requring maximum confidence.

A foreigner, Late Enginieer Lawrence Nassib, an oil merchant/contactor with the 
Federal Government of Nigeria until his death four years ago, in a gastly air 
crash that happened on November 6, 1996 here in Nigeria (ADC Airline) had in 
his domiciliary account with us an equivalent of US$13.5 as closing balance. 
Uncleared effect totalling US$1.8M. Our banks
board, before the last Annual General Meeting (AGM) now expects this closing 
balance of US$13.5M to be claimed by the late Enginieer Lawrence Nassib's 
forieng next of kin or be donated as UNCLAIMED to a trust fund for arms and 
ammunition at a Military War Colledge here in Nigeria. This idea is most 
unreasonable hence, I have decided to take this step.

Fervent efforts made by the Union Bank to get in touch with any of the Nassibs 
family or relatives all have proved abortive. As a result of this, our Chairman 
and board of Directors are in the process of declaring the
funds "UNCLAIMABLE".

As an insider and the actual manager of the account and balance, my colleagues 
and I have decided to contact you to act as Late Lawrence Nassib's
next of kin and receive this funds as inheritance claim for the benefit of both 
parties. All documentation required to perfect this will be in place once you 
indicate your acceptance. For your role in the transaction, you will keep 30% 
for yourself, 10% for taxation and preserve 60% for us.

If this proposal is OK and you wish to take advantage of the trust we bestow on 
you . Kindly get back to me immediately furnishing me with your most 
confidential Telephone and Fax numbers so that I can forward to you the details 
of this transaction.

Please note that your positive or negative response will be apprieciated to 
enable us know the way forward. Also treat as urgent.

Thank you and God bless.

Regards,
DR.OLUSHEGUN COLE.
