Here is the rip-off scam letter they send!
I am the senior accountant in union bank of nigeria plc. On june 6,1999, an american mining consultant/contractor with the nigera mining coporation, Mr. Ken Power made a numbered time[fixed]Deposit for [12]calender months, valued at U.S.$14,200, 000.00 (FORTEEN MILLION, TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS) in my branch.
Upon maturity, Isent a rountine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Nigerian mining corporation that Mr. Ken Power died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a (WILL) and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discoverd that Mr. Ken Power did not declar any kin or relation in his official documents, including his Bank deposit paper work in my bank. This the sum US$14, 000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one has ever came forward to claim the fund.
According to our Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five) 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 would like you to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Ken Power so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
This is simple, you have to provide immediately (1) your full name and address (2) your private phone/fax number (3) your bank name and address (4) your bank account where the money will be transferred. (5) A means of identification either a copy of your internation passport or driver's
An Attorney will prepare the necessary papers which will put you as next of kin to Mr. Ken Power. We will share the money like this me 60% you 40%. It will be transfred to your bank account as soon as the paper work is done.
