I recieved this great news today via e-mail


From the Desk of:

Mr Emmauel Okeke

With great pleasure Mr Emmauel Okeke, working with a bank here in
Nigeria as a Manager. I am writing you in respect of a foreign customer
(an Oil consultant/contractor with our National Oil & Liquidified Gas
Sector) whom made a US$25M (Twenty five Million United States Dollars)
depository for an investment program that has remained dormant for
years now.Hence, I have decided to contact you due to the urgency of
this transaction.

On personal investigation, I discovered that the account holder died on
Monday, December 23, 2002 in the Ukrainian An-140 aircraft crash. I
made further investigation and discovered that the customer died
without making a WILL on the depository.

It may interest you to know that I am only contacting you as a
foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local Bank account
here, but can only be approved to a foreigner with an account since the money
is in US Dollars. I have decided as a matter of urgency upon this
discovery now seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin to
the fund as No one has ever come forward to claim this fund. It may
also interest you to know that I have secured from the probate an ORDER
OF MADAMUS to locate any of deceased beneficiary. In accordance to
Nigerian Law, fund deposited for over a period of Six (6) years without
claim will be reverted to the Government treasury, if nobody applies
to claim this fund.

I will like you to provide immediately your full Names and Address,
Date of Birth, Occupation, Tel & Fax Numbers so that an Attorney will
be able to prepare the necessary documents and affidavit which will put
you in place as the next of kin. The Attorney will draft and carry out
the notarization of the WILL and also obtain the necessary documents
and letter of probate/administration in your favour for the transfer.

At the successful conclusion of this business, your goodself shall be
entitled to have 40% that is, USD$10M of the total money while I will
have 55% that is USD$13.750M and 5% that is USD$1.250M for
communications and other expenses. I am ready to invest a reasonable percentage of
mine into any viable business you suggest as a joint partner. Your
percentage will also be a source of upliftment. You have absolutely
nothing to LOSE in assisting me instead, you have so much to GAIN. Be rest
assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us.

Your response is highly imperative as this is a TWO-man business deal
transaction as I shall then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction. I need your
assistance and co-operation to this reality as I have done my Home-work
and fine tune the best way to create you as the beneficiary while I
would use my connection and money to secure almost all the paperwork
for this transaction which will be done by the Attorney and my position as
the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this
transaction with you as the beneficiary to this fund.

I will appreciate your early reply for commencement of business.
Contact me for acknowledgement by E-mail and whereby you are not
interested, please indicate in your reply so that I can seek for the assistance of
someone else.

If this proposal is acceptable by you, I expect that you will not take
undue advantage of the trust I Will bestow in you. I await your urgent
response.


Thanks with great regards.

Mr Emmauel Okeke

So what you're saying is that this letter is just the initial "hook" to lead to the actual scam down the road? - Sat, 6 Jan 2007 8:02pm
