Dear Sir/Madam,

I write this august letter in confidence, believing that you are within the capacity to handle this project that involves the investment of large sums of money on real estates in your country based on mutual trust as we get to know more about ourselves.

To enable me update you accordingly, I will unveil very classified information to enable you understand the situation at hand.

I am Engr. BOLADE JOHNSON, Former Deputy General Manager, (credit Controls) foreign remittance department, Union bank of Nigeria, Lagos. I got your contact from the Internet.

THE PROPOSAL: A Chinese Citizen, Late Engr. Chang Young, and a Petrochemical Engineer with Eleme Petro-chemical Co. Rivers State. Until his death in ADC plan crash in November 2000, he operated a domiciliary account with us at Union Bank and had a closing balance as at the end of September 2000 amounting to $20,500,000.00 (Twenty Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only), the bank now expects a next of kin as beneficiary to come forward and make claim. Valuable efforts have been made by Union Bank Nigeria to get in touch with any of late Chang Youngís family as beneficiary to his estates without success. It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any of Late Engr. Youngís next of kin (Since he had no wife or children that is known to the bank) That the chairman and the board of Directors are planning to declare the fund Unclaimed and transfer it to special trust fund for purchase of arms and ammunition for ECOMOG soldiers in sierra Leone and Liberia zones in the East Africa sub-regions.

In other to avert this negative development, I now seek your permission to have you stand as next-of kin to the estate of late Engr. Chang Young, so that the fund $20,500,000.00 will be released and paid into your account as beneficiaryís next of kin. I will help to arrange all documents and proves to enable us get this fund out. I have secured from the probate Registry an order of mandate to locate any of the deceased beneficiary and more so, I am assuring you that this transaction is safe. Once the fund is moved to your nominated account, you will be entitled to 30%. You will also be entitled to a substantial part from my percentage, in trust for investment (acquisition of properties). As soon as I receive your acceptance in principle, I will furnish you with the necessary modalities for commencement. Please note that you can send your response to this proposal through the above email address or You can also call me on my direct number: 234-803-324-0532.

Finally, I am relying in my confidence in you. Having opened up to you, if however you are not interested, please feel free to destroy this information. I sincerely hope to get a positive response from you and to enable us commence; I will need your personal telephone/fax number for better communication.

Kindest Regards,

Engr:Bolade Johnson.
