Dear Sir,

I know that this email will surely come to you as a surprise, but I will crave 
your indulgence to view it seriously and I apologise, but I hope that it will 
be a welcome surprise. Before I run out of steam, I will like to introduce my 
self and go straight to the point. My name is Dr. Yaya Bello and I am a 
banker.

Proposition:

A foreigner, Late Engr. Johnson Juan Creek, an oil merchant and a contractor 
who died in a ghastly plane crash on 7th November, 1996.  Until his death, 
left with us in his account a closing balance of US$18.5M which I am now 
seeking your assistance to act as the foreign next of kin and cousin to late 
Engr. Creek's estate in claiming the money into your account before I will 
arrange to meet you in your country for the disbursement.

I believe from my few points above, you can begin to get an idea why I need 
your participation. Let me explain how the money, which is the basis of this 
business I am proposing, came about. Before I became a deputy director, some 
years ago I used to be Accounts Officer to some special corporate customers. 
One of these very important customers of our bank(Union ank PLC) was Engineer 
Johnson Juan Creek an Amrican citizen, who had spent most of his years before 
his death working in Africa and mostly in Nigeria. He died in a plane crash in 
1996 in Nigeria. This money belonged to him. Technically speaking now,it 
belongs only to his name. The money is payment he received for a contract he 
executed on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing for the 
government (Installation of Pipelines in Warri Refinery). My reason for 
deciding to carry out this transaction is that Engr. Creek did not mention any 
next of kin in any of the documents held by the bank for the number of years 
he had banked with us. Since 1996 we have searched for any body that could be 
related to Engr. Creek, I was mandated by the bank to search for a relation of 
Engr. Creek and I did this from January 1997 to December 1999 after which the 
search was called off in the belief that soon a relative may turn up to claim 
his estate. Nevertheless, as it is, there is no relative. Now, the Chairman of 
the bank who is a retired soldier has indicated his intentions for the money.

I have all the necessary papers and documents which will facilitate the 
release of the funds into your account without any delay. This is made 
possible by virtue of the fact that I am an insider here in the bank, so, I 
know all what it takes to successfully conclude the transaction without any 
hitch.

During the last meeting of Directors and Deputies, he said that he would 
donate the money to a discredited military trust fund if it is not claimed 
soon, this invariably means the continuous flow of more arms and ammunition. I 
know for sure that not all of the money will go to the military trust some 
will surely line his pockets and that of anybody who is in support of his 
plan. My plan is to get a trust worthy person that can, under my constant 
guidance present him self as a cousin to the late Engr. Creek. I want you to 
note that your citizenship does not matter; You do not have to be an American. 
The papers demanded by the normal procedure for the claiming of an inheritance 
will take care of everything. You will be sole beneficiary to the estate of 
Engr. Creek. All I need is for you to follow my instructions closely because I 
am experienced in inheritance matters here and I am on ground here to advice 
you on every step until you receive the money. Then we meet. For your 
participation, we will allow you 30% of the gross. All expenses incurred in 
the process of this transaction will be deducted from the gross value and 
shared at a commensurate ratio; this we will done at the end of the 
transaction, because the money is bonded. An estimated 10% or less will cover 
all incidental expenses and we will take 60% for ourselves. The most important 
thing to me right now is trust on both sides. Now the money is still in the 
care of the bank, I hope the trust will still be there when we must have 
legally established your relationship as cousin to Engr. Creek and the money 
is paid to you. I need also to trust that you will not tell people or your 
bank about this business. You will collect the money first, then I get my 
share, then you can tell anybody what you chose thereafter. I shall need your 
help to invest in your country; therefore, any experience you have in this 
area will be beneficial.

Surely, you must have some questions or may be you just need further 
clarification. I will be happy to receive a telephone call from you or a fax 
message to this effect, this will enable me explain further what the next step 
is and the general plan. I will also need your most confidential telephone 
number and fax number, if you have a mobile phone I believe it will help so 
that I can reach you anytime.

Please kindly respond by Phone or email only. Your positive and negative 
response is highly welcome.
