i got this in my email today...

From:

Director of Accounts,

Union Bank of Nig. Plc.

Request for urgent business relationship

First,

I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, this is by

virtue of it's being very confidential. I am Dr. Lucas Kuku, a

director with the Union Bank of Nigeria (U.B.N) Plc Lagos. I came to

know of

you in my private search for a reliable and reputable person to handle

this confidential transaction which involves the transfer of a huge sum

of money to a foreign bank account requiring maximum confidence.

The proposition, an American, Late Engineer Barry Kelly, an oil

merchant/contractor with the federal government of Nigeria, until his

death three years ago in a ghastly motor accident, banked with us here

at

union bank of Nigeria plc, Lagos, and had a closing balance of

US$25m (Twenty Five Million, Dollars), only which the bank now unquestionably expects to be claimed

by Mr.Barry's 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 efforts being made by the union bank of Nigeria plc to get in

touch with any of the Barry Kelly's family has proved abortive. It

is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate

late engineer Barry's next of kin (He had no wife or children) that

the

management under the influence of our chairman and member of the board

of directors, retired Major Gen. Bensons Maka, that an arrangement be

made for the funds to be declared "Unclaimed" and subsequently be

donated to the trust fund for arms and ammunition to further enhance

the

cause of war in Africa and the world in general.

In order to avert this negative development, some of my trusted

colleagues and I now seek your permission to have you stand as next-of-kin

to Late engineer Barry Kelly so that the funds USD25m would be

released and paid into your bank account as the next-of-kin. All

documents and proofs to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked

out and more so, we are assuring you of 100% percent risk-free

involvement. You will get a negotiable percentage of this money for

assisting us

in this deal.

We shall also map out a percentage of this money to take care of

incidental expenses that may arise in the course of this transaction.

If

this proposal is okay by you and assure us that you will not take undue

advantage of the trust, we hope to bestow on you and your company.

Please, you can also get back to me through my email address lucas_kuku2001@yahoo.com

by furnishing me with your confidential

telephone, Fax number and including your banking particulars so that

I can use

these information to apply for the release and subsequent transfer of

the funds in your favour and benefit into your nominated bank account.

But if you are not interested please keep it confidential.

Thank you in anticipation of your cooperation.

Yours faithfully,

Director of Account

Union Bank of Nig.
