Dear,

It is my humble pleasure to write this letter irrespective of the fact that you
do not know me. However, I came to know of you in my private search for a
reliable and trustworthy person that can handle a confidential transaction of
this nature in respect to our investment plans in real estate. Though I know
that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried,
but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. Let me start
by first, introducing myself properly to you.
I am Peter Okoye, a Branch Manager at one of the standard trust bank Nigeria
Plc,Lagos. A foreigner, Late Nicholas Owen, a Civil engineer/Contractor with the
federal Government of Nigeria, until his death three years ago in a ghastly air
crash, banked with us here at the standard bank plc,Lagos. He had a closing
balance of USD$25.5M (Twenty five Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars) which the bank now unquestionably expects to be claimed by any of his
available foreign next of kin. Or,alternatively be donated to a discredited
trust fund for arms and ammunition at a military war college here in Nigeria.
Fervent valuable efforts made by the standard trust bank to get in touch with
any of late Nicholas Owens next of kin (he had no wife and children)has been
unsuccessful. The management under the influence of our chairman and board of
directors, are making arrangement for the fund to be declared "UNCLAIMABLE " and
then be subsequently donated to t! he trust fund for Arms and Ammunition which
will further enhance the course of war in Africa and the world in general. In
order to avert this negative development. Myself and some of my trusted
colleagues in the bank, now seek for your permission to have you stand as late
Nicholas Owens next of kin. So that the fund (USD$25.5M), would be subsequently
transferred and paid into your bank account as the beneficiary next of kin
through our overseas corresponding bank. All documents and proves to enable you
get this fund have been carefully worked out and we are assuring you a 100% risk
free involvement. Your share would be 30% of the total amount. While the rest
would be for me and my colleagues for purchase of properties in your country
through you/your Company. If this proposal is OK by you, then kindly get to me
immediately via my e-mail (ask4peter@...)furnishing me with your
most confidential telephone and fax , so I can forward to you the relevant
details of this tran! saction. Thank you in advance for your anticipated
cooperation.

Best Regards.

Peter Okoye

Branch Manager,

STANDARD TRUST BANK PLC LAGOS
