Dear Sir,

I am Mr.Thomas Lawal, Bank Manager of DIAMOND BANK PLC, Lagos Branch. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.I got your contact from the World Trade Center (W.T.C) regional office in Lagos,Nigeria although the details of my intention was not made known to them. On June 6 1997, an American oil consultant/contractor Mr. Barry Kelly made a numbered time (Fixed) deposited for twelve calendar months, valued at US$27.400,000.00 (Twenty-Seven Million Four Hundred thousand 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, that Mr. Barry Kelly died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Barry Kelly did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork. This sum of US$27,400,000.00 is still sitting in the Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year.

No one will come forward to claim it as there is no next of kin. According to the Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 6{Six} years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. 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;
1) I will like you to provide me immediately with 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.
2) We shall employ the services of two attorneys for drafting and notarization of the WILL and obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.
3) A bank account in any part of the world, which you provide, will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin of Mr.Barry Kelly. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 65% for me and 30% for you will 5% for all legal charges.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the attorney and my position as a Manager in the bank 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. 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 email:([email protected]) for confidentiality.

Thanks and regards
Thomas Lawal Esq.

I handle the spam here - anything without a valid name goes to an account, which I log into and hold D down for a while. Anyone know how to filter in Sendmail based on Received headers?!?!?!?!?!
