From: okohst1 [okohst1@zelgo.com] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 4:25 AM To: okohst1@zelgo.com Subject: Business issues Dear sir, I will like to solicit your help in a business proposition, which is by nature very confidential and a Top Secret. I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one worried and apprehensive but I am assuring you not to worry, as all will be well at the end of this endeavor. I am Mr. Steven Okoh, General Manager of African Development Bank Group. My partners and I have decided to seek your help in transfer of some amount of money requiring maximum confidence from my bank. A foreigner, Late Engineer Walters Menard who was an oil merchant and contractor with the Federal Government of Nigeria until his death onboard the ill fated Kenyan Airways bus {A310300}was our customer at the AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK and had a balance of US$32 million which the bank now expects his next of kin to claim as the beneficiary. So far, valuable efforts has been made to get to his people but to no avail as he had no known relatives. More because he left his next of kin column in his account opening forms blank. Due to this development our management and the board of directors are making arrangements for the funds to be declared unclaimed and subsequently paid into the federal government purse. Usually, funds of this nature end up in the greedy pockets of some politicians due to our corrupt society. To avert this negative development my colleagues and I have decided to look for a reputable person to act as the next of kin to late Engr. Walters Menard so that the funds could be processed and released into his account, which is where you come in. We shall make arrangement with a qualified and reliable attorney that will represent you in liaising with my bank for inconveniency of you coming to my country. All legal documents to aid your claim for this fund and to prove your relationship with the deceased will be provided by us. Your help will be appreciated with 20% of the total sum (US$6,400,000). Please accept my apologies, keep my confidence and disregard this email if you do not appreciate this proposition I have offered you. However, if you do please include your phone and fax number in your reply for better communication. I wait anxiously for your response. Yours faithfully, Steven Okoh ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the WebMail system at mail.zelgo.com
