[MR LOUIS PETER]

Dear sir. 

I am Mr. louis Peter. Bank Manager of Dovcom marchant Bank of 
Nigeria, Lagos Branch. I have urgent and very 
confidential business proposition for you. 

On June 6, 1997, a FOREIGN Oil consultant/contractor 
with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Engr. 
Barry Kelly made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for 
twelve calendar months, valued at US$25,000,000.00 
(Twenty- five Million Dollars) 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 Engr. Barry Kelly died from an 
automobile accident. 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 Engr. Barry Kelly did not declare any next of kin or 
relations in all his official documents, including his 
Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of 
US$25,000,000.00 is still laying in my Bank and the 
interest is being rolled over with the principal sum 
at the end of each year. No one will ever come 
forward to claim it. According to Nigerian Law, at 
the expiration of 5 (five) 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 
an Foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Engr. 
Barry Kelly so 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 and 
affidavits, which will put you in place as the next of 
kin. We shall employ the service of two Attorneys for 
drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain 
the necessary documents and letter of 
probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. 
A bank account in any part of the world, which you 
will provide, will then facilitate the transfer of 
this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The 
money will be paid into your account for us to share 
in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you. 

There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this 
transaction will be done by the Attorney and my 
position as the Branch Manager guarantees the 
successful execution of this transaction. If you are 
interested, please reply immediately via the private 
email address below. Upon your response, I shall then 
provide you with more details and relevant documents 
that will help you understand the transaction. 

Please observe utmost confidentiality, and 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. 

Awaiting your urgent reply via my email: 

Thanks and regards. 

MR.Louis Peter.
