e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dearest, Complements of the season I am the manager Union Bank of nigeria(UBN). in my bank I discovered an abandoned sum $33.3usd(thirty three million three hundred thousand U.S.dollars only) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer, by name, Mr. Bob Robert Chapman, African area director for Wycliffe bible translators international,who died along with his wife, Ruth Chapman,in January 2000 in a Kenyan plane crash in the coast of Abidjan,ivory coast. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we can notrelease it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.unfortunately I learnt that his supposed next of kin died along with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. it is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make business with you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation of the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into federal goverment account as unclaimed bill. the banking law and the guidelines here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after four years the money will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a nigerian cannot stand as next of kin for a foreigner. It is agreed that a certain percentage of this money will be for you as my foreign partner. there after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage agreed. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of the fund to you as arranged. you must apply first to the bank as a relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank account number and location wherein the money will be remitted. upon receipt of your reply I will send to you the text of the application. As soon as you receive this letter, you should contact me through my e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trusting to hear from you immediately. Yours faithfully Maher Labib Abou Steit General Manager, UBN.
