FROM DR.BEN CHIOMA.
DEPUTY MANAGER,TREASURY OF
GLOBAL BANK PLC.
IKEJA BRANCH LAGOS
Dear Sir/madam,
I am writing to you in strict Confidence and I know that my letter will come
to you as a great Surprise,owing to the fact that we have never met before.
I am Dr BEN CHIOMA, the immediate personal Friend to late Mr.Kong Thang
Lee,a citizen of the United States of America,though a korean by birth who
lived and worked here in Nigeria until his untimely death via an E.A.S Bac
1-11-500 airliner that crashed on May 4th 2002,in Kano State,northern part
of Nigeria, killing all 149 passengers on board including Mr.Kong .
Before his death,Lastly he was a Director (Special Operations)with AGIP
ENERGY ERVICES NIGERIA LTD.Recently,during one of my routine checks of his
official documents of which I had access,I discovered that my former client
in 1999 deposited a whooping sum of $10,000.000.00 (Ten million
Dollars)without a "WILL"in one of the Finance Comp any here in
Nigeria of which I have the Deposit Certificate in my possession.According
to the Nigerian law of Inheritance, itstipulates that at the expiration of
5(five)years after establishment of facts about the death of a person,the
law accordingly stipulates that an official representative is entitled to
the wealth of the deceased on the condition of being the Next of Kin of
which he or she bears the same surname with the deceased person.
It also states that if at the end of such period there was no such person to
represent or claim such money or if nobody applies to claim ownership of the
such as well, the money will thereby revert to the Government. It is on the
above subject that I swung into action to avert this negative trend since I
know of such law, and in order not to allow such sad development to occur.I
have as a result of this made some positive efforts to locate any of his
relatives that could still be alive to date, for the purpose of turnin g
over to such person the Deposits and investments that he left behind, but
none has been fruitful so far. As a result of this and upon my conviction
that his family tree might have gone extinct and going by the report I
obtained from his immigration data available with both the Finance Company
where he deposited his money and the Company where he worked,he had no
relative known nor had any wife or children that is registered with his
country's embassy here.
In the light of the foregoing, and after doubt that he may not have any
relatives left,I now see it as a challenge and moral question of whether to
allow the Finance Company where he Deposited his money to appropriate it to
themselves,because of the belief that he has no surviving relatives,or any
one to demand for and collect this money from the Finance Institution. In
order to avert this negative development,I now seek your assistance to stand
as Next of Kin to my late client beca use of the similarity of having the
same surname with him so that the fund will be released and paid in your
favor as the Beneficiary/Next of Kin according to the law. The advantages of
you having the same surname with Him will indeed enable us collect this fund
deposited in the Finance Company here in Lagos,Nigeria for our mutual
benefit,I therefore, assure you of a risk free business deal.
All the necessary documents and papers for validating and authenticating
the legality to get this fund paid in your favor will be carefully worked
out in the course of transfeering this money in your favor. I have earlier
put this Notice to the Finance Company where this money is deposited that
soon my clients Next of Kin will come to claim the money.In esponse,they
agreed,but asked me to do so very quickly,or have the account frozen and the
fund forfeited because of the maturity date. I,therefore,solicit for your
interest to enable us,alon g side your full support and assistance,transfer
this funds into your nominated choice account. Kindly send me your telephone
and fax numbers for further details about this transaction.
Please endeavour to contact me immediately through my private and
confidential Email Address as indicated here below:

I sincerly look forward to receiving your urgent reply to this offer.
Best Regards,
Dr BEN CHIOMA.
