Dear Friend,

Though, this medium (Internet) has been greatly abused, I choose to reach you through it because Email still remains the fastest, surest and most secured medium of communication. Take note that this correspondence is purely private, and it should be treated with utmost confidentiality. This transaction is risk-free and success is absolutely guaranteed. I am Mr Farther Peters, the Chief

Audits Director at the Foreign Remittance Department of AIB Finance UK Plc. During the last annual financial audits, we discovered a floating sum of US$27.5Million (Twenty Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand US DOLLARS) in an escrow account of deceased Oil Magnate from Russia.

The next of kin on the file had died few weeks before his demise, hence Nobody is available to receive the Funds. This information requires urgent action because in accordance with ICC Financial Regulations, the $27.5M USD must be remitted this month, otherwise, it will be declared bona-vacantia and revert to government's treasury as unclaimed bills. It has become imperative that

I present you as the next of kin, and put up claims in your name. Yes, I will use my exalted position as Chief Financial Auditor, to endorse and authorize the remittance of the Funds into your account as the ratified beneficiary. Obviously, the Funds will continue to float unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in statutory banking guidelines.

I am contacting you based on Trust and confidentiality that will be attached to this deal. We need to utilize this once in a lifetime opportunity at this crucial time. I will give you the necessary Assistance and perfect the Legal Authentication documents which will officially recognize you as the Next of Kin legitimately qualified to receive the Funds. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and anybody from my country can not stand as next of kin to a foreigner.

After successful conclusion of this transaction, we shall share the money 50-50 (50% for you and 50% for me). Contact me urgently with your full name, telephone number, occupation (line of business) and confirmation of your honesty to handle this viable transaction with me.Trusting to hear from you urgently today.

Yours Faithfuly

Mr Farther Peters,
Chief Audits Director,
